Pat's IPF Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Prognosis
UIP, IPF or Pulmonary Fibrosis is pneumonia every day and it never goes away. Western Medicine says there is no known cause or cure. IPF prognosis: average death by suffocation 2.7 years after diagnosis. Radiologists found the disease, IPF, also known as Usual Interstitial Pneumonia in Pat's lungs in 2009.
German MD, Karen von Merveldt-Guevara says that bleak prognosis does not have to be Pat's. Karen's Mercury, Lead and heavy metal detox protocol, restorative nutrition and energy work has stopped the IPF progression. IPF Kills 50,000 Americans every year, about the same as Breast Cancer. Pat likes to demonstrate how it doesn't have to be this way. Here's a video showing Pat skiing in his 3rd year after IPF diagnosis. The playlist videos go back to his first year he was diagnosed.

From the 2011 IPF Summit in Chicago, IL
"Patients with IPF have poor prognosis; an estimated 40,000 people die each year from IPF.
...Median survival is 2 to 4 years once the diagnosis is made
...5-year survival rate ranges from 20 to 40%.
Further, there are no FDA-approved treatments for IPF.
Despite the short survival rate of patients with IPF, medical costs have been estimated at up to $2.8 billion dollars for every 100,000 patients."
From SocialSecurity.gov
"Individuals with this disease usually die within 3 to 5 years of diagnosis."

Many patients end up on supplementary oxygen and some will need a lung transplant.
Half of IPF sufferers in the UK die within three years of diagnosis.
