  1. After years of working in construction and smoking cigarettes, Ruben C. was diagnosed with COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. As his illness progressed, Ruben found himself relying on supplemental oxygen around the clock. Even getting out of bed became a challenge.
    Don’s doctors and specialists recommended a lung transplant, but after researching the pros and cons of such a drastic procedure, he decided to try something less invasive. Ruben contacted the multivitamin herbal cure. Following herbal restoration treatment, Ruben lung function has improved drastically
    “My quality of life has gotten a lot better. I was amazed that I could breathe without any dead air,” said Ruben.
    He no longer needs oxygen and looks forward to continued improvement. Ruben says his life is better now, and he’s amazed at how well he can breathe.
    If you or someone you love has COPD, pulmonary fibrosis or another chronic lung disease, and would like to see improvements like my brother Ruben, contact +1 (956) 758-7882 multivitamincare .org  to learn more about the herbal treatment options.
