At age 76 I went through something like you describe two years ago in the cold of December. My pulmonologist saw CATS screen images that he considered to be major alveoli damage in my lungs. I got through the incredible ordeal and am managing quite well today, doing all kinds of physical activities. I believe the lungs have some restorative ability. I will never know what it was I had but I used the nebulizer a lot. I nebulized Budesonide, (Dr. prescribed) and an alkaline structured nano silver solution I took of my own volition, which I got off Amazon. I also used a steam inhaler with a Eucalyptus aromatic. Of course, I took a heavy dose of vitamin D along with quercetin and zinc. Don’t know what worked but the combination got me through what was a nasty experience.
Great Protocol
I think the combo of all those together was what saved you.
Using the nebulizer with Budesonide is great for healing the lungs.
Good you had a smart enough doctor to make sure you got it.
