- A discussion of things to avoid for people who have pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease. I start with ways to quit smoking if that is an issue, avoiding work based exposures to dusts and fumes, using protective masks, being careful with "indoor" pollution, avoiding confirmed triggers, such as mold or birds (if applicable) and managing gastro-esophageal reflux (acid reflux).

Thank you so much for this information, Dr. Stefan. I am 70 years old and diagnosed with ILD from RA over a year ago. I found you on youtube recently and have been binge watching your videos. They are really helping me to understand what's going on in my lungs and how to do things better. Candles, air fresheners, etc. going into the trash. Thank you!! ❤️

Hello Dr Stefan. I hear a lot about enzymes reducing fibrin issues. Could you please make a video with your thoughts on such supplements to reduce IPF progress? Thank you.
From Pakistan... Love you for your style
GURD, raise the head of the bed on 6 inch bricks. This will form a slope. It is more comfortable than a wedge pillow. When you sleep on your side. Sleeping on LH side is better the RH, as the stomach is lower.
Thank you, Dr., as a South African citizen age 74 yrs old. i have been diagnosed with Pulmonary fibrosis idiopathic i cannot use any Shower gel with any smell wht do you recommend.
Dr Pius Ozigbe is Always on time. compassionate. Empathetic. easy to take to and relates exceptionally well. Hands down the most effective and efficient doctor I recommend him. thank you doctor!!!!
Hello Dr Stefan, I'm hoping you can shed some light on my question regarding the drugs I'm taking for IPF. I'm taking myfortic 360mgs twice a day . Cheers Vicky
Thank you for this information. How can GERD impact pulmonary fibrosis?

Cordycep mushrooms show promising signs.
Hello Dr. Stefan, I don't smoke or don't have a cough..why did I have residual fibrosis?
Dude... smoking is a physical addiction first. When I quit cold turkey (in 2016) after 26 years. It was just like getting off of opioids some years earlier. It IS physical. I can attest to that. 3 months, it took, to get normal - just like opioids. Then another year of seasons to get mentally right.
Dr Stefan. What is the best treatment for fulmonary fibrosis
OFEV
I am on o2 therapy for pf. I got pf while hospitalized with covid. I have 2 questions. 1. Is pf from covid progressive. I have read that it is, but there really isnt alot of info. 2. Im losing my medicaid. Since i will no longer be able to afford treatment, i am probably stopping my o2 therapy. Right now, i use it 24/7. I am at 85 spo2 at rest without supplemental o2. 70ish during activity. If I stop using o2, will this exacerbate my pulmonary fibrosis?
Yep mind over matter there's no such thing as just one more.
Can someone suffering from ILD treat it with nebulizer or salbutamol
I made this video a few weeks ago about using Ventolin (salbutamol) in ILD if it's helpful maybe : ruclips.net/video/glOyflDDlAg/видео.html
I was worried that you were going to say sex!
Lol
Just stop smoking. Stop pretending it is so hard. Been a chainsmoker for 35 years quit cold . Just a way of changing habits. The addiction part is a JOKE
