It's NOT Too Late! - For Any of Us!

If you think that your COPD is too far gone then you are mistaken! There's no such thing! As Jon Kabat-Zinn says, "As long as you are breathing, there's more right with you than wrong with you!" That's a powerful statement! 

Even people with 30 FEV1% can have a long, fulfilling life - BUT they have to make some lifestyle choices! That's a given! The only way any of us can treat COPD is by QUITTING SMOKING for Life! That's it! It doesn't cost any money! And it is the first line of treatment! All the rest is also helpful ONLY IF you quit smoking! So you can change your diet, your exercise program, get your vaccines, even take your meds - but if you don't quit smoking - FORGET IT! 

No Addiction is worth forfeiting your Life without a struggle! I have known many many people who lived Quality Lives with much less lung capacity for many years! Some of them were fortunate enough to have a lung transplant, a helpful surgery called LVRS, or even the new coil and foam treatments - but they all have one thing in common - THEY QUIT SMOKING!

TODAY is a Great Day to LIVE Smoke FREE!
