chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term, progressive lung disease that makes it hard to breathe. It is primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer, and a variety of other conditions.

About

The disease is characterized by two main conditions: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. In emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs are damaged, leading to shortness of breath. Chronic bronchitis involves a long-term cough with mucus. Symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, mucus (sputum) production, and wheezing. It's typically diagnosed in middle-aged or older adults.

COPD is treatable, especially when diagnosed early. Treatments include quitting smoking, inhalers, medications, and sometimes surgery. In later stages, patients may require oxygen therapy. The progression and severity of the disease can vary significantly among individuals. 

Regular medical care and lifestyle changes can often help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

    Short description:

    Charles H. Farr, M.D., Ph.D., a prominent figure in oxidative medicine, significantly advanced the use of intravenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) therapy from the late 1970s. He challenged traditional medical views, advocating for the efficacy of alternative treatments in improving the health of chronically ill patients. Farr recommended H2O2 for a broad range of conditions, including respiratory illnesses, viral infections, chronic diseases, and neurological disorders. He emphasized the safety of this therapy, noting minimal toxicity even with multiple, high-concentration infusions. His work led to a reevaluation of hydrogen peroxide's role in medical treatment, highlighting its potential in various metabolic and immune functions.
