I belong to a Facebook group dealing with COPD (Emphysema). COPD is a worldwide problem and a leading cause to death in the USA and elsewhere. Meaning a lot of people have it and there is no cure just treatment of symptoms using inhalers or in the final stages Oxygen. Here is a post that rekindled my interest in GRNH.
