Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: How are you dealing with it?

Hi, I was diagnosed 14 years ago. Lungs, parotid glands. I couldn't walk and could barely feed myself. Along with steroids, and other medications I can no longer remember, I began a green tea and lemon regiment. Not recommending this ---I ceased all medication I was prescribed. I continued the green tea and lemon regiment. To my doctors' surprise, my lungs were like a new born baby's, after receipt of my lung X-ray. Other test confirmed. I was in remission. No evidence in 11 years of sarcoid in my body. Begin the green tea, lemon and honey regiment. The regiment will begin attacking the nodules. You will begin feeling better.

Hi @tine, welcome to Connect.
What great news that tests show that the sarcoidosis is in remission. You must be so relieved. I might, however, caution attributing the remission to drinking green team, lemon and honey. There's no cure for sarcoidosis, but in half of cases it goes away on its own. (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sarcoidosis/diagnosis-treatment/treatment/txc-20177973) Further study on a large population would be required to draw the conclusion that the green tea caused the remission.
I always like to refer to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) for current information about the studies of complementary treatments. Here, for example, is information about green tea https://nccih.nih.gov/health/greentea
Tine, how long have you been in remission? Do you continue to be monitored with regular chest X-rays and exams of the eyes, skin and any other organ involved?
