Inflamed

Treatments for lung disease have remained relatively unchanged over the years, with methods to manage the symptoms being the only relief for patients.However, promising new research is being used to find ways to slow the progression of the disease. On today's show, we welcome Dr. James St. Louis from The Lung Health Institute to discuss how he believes using cellular therapy can help slow the progress of COPD. He discusses how specific cells work to target the lungs and calm inflammation, which can enhance quality of life for patients. We also sit down with Larry, a COPD patient who has seen a change in his symptoms since starting the cellular therapy treatments.

According to the National Health Council, 45 percent of people in the United States have at least one chronic disease, which accounts for seven out of every 10 deaths. Thanks to advancements in the medical field, many of these diseases are being addressed with new technologies. Tune in to find out more.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects more than 24 million Americans and is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Since there remains no cure, the focus is on prevention, early diagnosis, and innovative treatment options to help patients manage the disease better. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) has developed recommendations for COPD management. Stay tuned!
