Patient Stories

Just a quick note to say how pleased I am with the results of your treatment. When I started with the treatment, I was on 2 liters of oxygen 24 hours a day. I now only use the oxygen at night and when doing treadmill 2.8 mph at 3.5 grade for 40 minutes 4-5 times a week. I consider this a significant improvement, and actually don’t have to see my pulmonologist for another year.**
