Interstitial lung disease, ILD or pulmonary fibrosis, includes more than 200 chronic
disorders of the lungs, according to the University of Chicago Medical Center 1 5 .
The term applies to scarring of the tissue in the lungs surrounding the air sacs.
Homeopathic medicine may provide relief for symptoms, slowing the progression
of the disease. Homeopathy initiates the body's natural response to an external
trigger or stimulus, allowing the person's immune system to heal itself.

Causes

ILD is caused from variety of sources. It is usually chronic, non-malignant and non-
infectious, writes UAB Medicine. They add that although symptoms vary from
person to person, all forms of the condition arise from inflammation either
involving the small airways in the lungs, the air sacs or the small blood vessels. In

according to Manfred Mueller, president of the North American Society of

drugs that caused tissue damage. In other words, medications covering a wide
arena of use such as:

Effexor

Paxil

Prozac

Cytoxin

Macrodantin

to name a few

whose side effects cause pulmonary fibrosis

are given in homeopathic form to relieve symptoms of the disease they

caused

Although there is no scientific research for RCT, Mueller states that he has a great
deal of anecdotal evidence from patients with regard to this technique being highly
effective in the treatment of ILD as well as other diseases. Each remedy is unique
based on its drug picture found in the "PDR Guide to Drug Interactions and Side
Effects. 4 "

correct remedy or series of remedies to help you get well should handle treatment.
