Successful Resolution of Rheumatoid Lung Disease and Bronchiectasis
Charles Lerner, DC, LAC, CT, November 2016
A 51-year old female with rheumatoid lung disease and Bronchiectasis initiated treatment with Dr. Lerner utilizing Wei Institute’s lung yin formula, kidney yin formula, and lung heat formula in February 2015. After three weeks, she reported increased energy, reduction of colored phlegm, and had not used her inhaler since starting on a course of treatment. *At this point, she continued her treatment with only the lung yin formula and the kidney yin formula. After the next month, she was able to walk up a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath. She now enjoys increased stamina and does not feel the past symptoms of chest tightness. Her residual symptoms included bubbly mucus coming from the lungs, and a strong chest rattle in the morning. Dr. Lerner recommended the use of Wei Institute’s kidney heat formula, kidney yang formula, and lymphatic formula to help with kidney function and to improve her immune function. After just two weeks, she was able to walk up to five flights of stairs with a laptop, a purse, and an additional bag of books and despite her exertion, she did not lose her breath at all. After an additional month and a half, her chest tightness and rattle had completely gone. She now only experiences symptoms during times when she has a cold and uses the lung heat formula as needed to help her to rebound from these occasional small infections very quickly.*

Successful Improvement of Pulmonary Fibrosis and Bronchiectasis
Dr. Charles Lerner, DC, LAC, CT
A 70-year-old female patient was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis with symptoms of shortness of breath, tight chest, difficulty breathing when lying down, wheezing, and persistent cough. The patient also had Bronchiectasis with yellow phlegm indicating a lung infection. The doctor started treatment with a Wei Institute herbal protocol consisting of 4 weeks of Wei Institute lung heat formula for lung infections. After the lung infection and yellow phlegm had passed, the patient started an herbal treatment from Wei Institute consisting of the lung yin formula, lung nodule formula, and kidney yin formula. After two months of treatment, the patient had come in and said she had gotten a CAT scan. The scan showed that there was definitely an improvement in the lung structure and function, especially in her left lung. Her Pulmonologists at Kaiser were confused over the great improvement they had seen.
Two years later, the patient came back to Dr. Lerner to further address her residual symptoms. Dr. Lerner recommended 4 weeks of lung yin formula, lung nodule formula and kidney yin formula to nurture lung structure and assist in lung tissue growth, and lung heat formula to remove heat in the bronchioles and air sacs. Dr. Lerner recommended the addition of the Qi enhancing formula to the last 2 weeks in order to increase blood flow to the lungs and boost her immune system. The patient reported a significant increase in energy and a substantial improvement in her shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. Dr. Lerner then addressed her wheezing with 4 weeks of liver wind formula in order to restore the lining of the respiratory tract. He also recommended 4 weeks of lung yin formula, lung nodule formula, and kidney yin formula to be taken along with the liver wind formula. After only 1 week, the patient reported an extreme improvement in her wheezing. She was very happy with the amazing results and said she was feeling great!
