Question
Is there an herb helpful for those with copd-emphysemia and how is cocoa butter used for this disease? thanks

Answer
I know of no effective safe herb for COPD or emphysema and would expect cocoa butter to make them worse since both respond better to cutting out plant oils and enhancing omega-3 fish oil in our experience base of patients, plus total elimination of gluten
