Infomercial with Elizabeth Moffett, Respiratory Therapist
Somehow I got sucked into a long infomercial by a woman who claims to be a leading respiratory therapist in the country. I knew that she would eventually talk about her product, but I didn't realize the talk would be so long. She gave background on her investigation into a product that could help people with mucus accumulation. She didn't mention BE, but she did mention other lung diseases and clumped the rest in. The product is called Breathe and you use one to two droppers each morning. Honestly, I had already spent valuable time already that I stopped before it got to the price.
The ingredients are Mullein, Peppermint, Ginger Root, Thyme leaf, Lemon Peal Extract, Manuka Honey.
I am fairly new to BE and to this site, so this may have already been discussed.
I am wondering if anyone has heard of this and if there has been any research on these ingredients about which you know.
I am 83, diagnosed about a year with BE. Using a puffer but no other device at this time.
Thank you. Roz Wattel

I asked Chatbot about this and while there is some evidence that Mullein, the product the part of the herb that affects lung, unless you know the details on where and how it was manufactured, it could be useless. Apparently it is mainly marketed to smokers and others as a lung detox. Chatbot warns that the certificate of analysis (COA) should be checked, if they have one. I compared it to Guaifenesin which I started a month ago and was advised it is a wiser choice.

Thank you for the information. I decided not to try it. Roz
@picartist I believe the poster was referring to their oxygen saturation levels. While it varies considerably, under 95 percent saturation can be considered to be an issue. Typically when you see your provider this is one of the values they will measure along with temp, blood pressure, heart rate etc.
