Re: Bruce: What is a PFlex machine and what does it do Sher and Sharon

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the information Sher and Sharon. I really appreciate it.

I just came back from my appointment at Toronto General with the resprologist

and she was really happy at the Pulmonary Function Test numbers which improved

by over 10 % and the 6 minute walk numbers which improved by 150 yards over the

last test in Nov 2008 she was really happy to see that all the Pulmonary Rehab

exercises and yoga and meditations and the Homeopathic doctor are really helping

improve my numbers. She also said that with the IPF disease it really depends on

each individuals effort and outlook on life to improve the quality of life that

one gets to live under the restricted breathing.

God Bless

Please keep in touch.
