Alternative Medicine.

I don`t believe that alternative medicine on its own can cure any serious long term illness. I think anyone who thinks that is simply deluding themselves.Having said that I do think that used in conjunction with conventional medicine it can help conditions and particularly help to reduce the severity of symptoms.
I have COPD and I have found that taking a Omega 3 supplement every day helps my breathing.Fish oil is known to help the respiratory system and I have been convinced over time that this is true.There are also several different herbal remedies that can help with Pulmonary hypertension and other blood pressure problems by opening up the circulation system.
I would recommend everyone with a long term illness to have an open mind on this and consider anything that may help them but before you take anything have a word with your doctor to make sure it will not interfere with the effectiveness of your other drugs and try to learn as much as you can about any alternative therapy before you embark on it.As far as I am concerned we have a lot to gain by trying these medicines and nothing to lose.
