Gabriel focuses on slowing progression and improving quality of life in COPD (damage largely irreversible but stabilization possible). Protocol: 1) QUIT SMOKING (absolute #1—nothing else matters if still smoking), 2) Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress (massive in COPD), 3) Support lung function with nutrients, 4) Pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise critical despite difficulty), 5) Prevent infections (major cause of exacerbations), 6) Optimize oxygen delivery, 7) Address nutritional deficiencies (common—wasting and malnutrition in severe COPD). Early intervention can slow progression significantly.
Standard Treatment
Quit smoking (paramount), Bronchodilators: Short-acting (albuterol, ipratropium), Long-acting (tiotropium, salmeterol), Inhaled corticosteroids (if frequent exacerbations or eosinophilia), Combination inhalers (LABA + inhaled steroid), PDE-4 inhibitor (Roflumilast—reduces exacerbations in severe COPD), Supplemental oxygen (if chronic hypoxemia—improves survival), Pulmonary rehabilitation, Vaccinations (flu, pneumonia, COVID), Antibiotics and steroids for exacerbations, Surgery (lung volume reduction, bullectomy, transplant—select severe cases).
The Problem
No cure for COPD (damage largely irreversible—conventional approach manages symptoms and slows progression), bronchodilators and inhaled steroids help but: don't address oxidative stress and inflammation driving disease, side effects (tremor, tachycardia from bronchodilators; thrush, pneumonia risk from inhaled steroids), oral steroids for exacerbations: necessary short-term but multiple side effects with repeated use, supplemental oxygen: improves survival in chronic hypoxemia (good) but doesn't address inflammation, doesn't emphasize: NAC (N-acetylcysteine—PROVEN to reduce exacerbations, mucolytic, antioxidant—not standard recommendation despite evidence), antioxidant support (oxidative stress massive in COPD—vitamin C, E, glutathione), omega-3 (anti-inflammatory—improves lung function), vitamin D (reduces exacerbations—deficiency epidemic in COPD patients), nutritional support (malnutrition and muscle wasting common—need adequate protein, calories, not emphasized enough), pulmonary rehab underutilized (PROVEN effective but only 1-3% of COPD patients participate—insurance barriers, lack of programs, patient/physician awareness), many exacerbations and hospitalizations preventable with: aggressive antioxidant therapy, infection prevention, nutritional optimization, pulmonary rehabilitation.

Anti-inflammatory diet (reduce systemic inflammation), adequate calories (increased metabolic needs in COPD—some patients need 2500-3000 cal/day), adequate protein (prevent muscle wasting—1.2-1.5g/kg), healthy fats (less CO2 production than carbs—important for those with CO2 retention), limit simple carbs (produce more CO2), omega-3 foods (fish, grass-fed meat), colorful vegetables and fruits (antioxidants), avoid mucus-forming foods if problem (dairy for some), adequate hydration (thin mucus), small frequent meals (large meals compress diaphragm, worsen breathing), avoid gas-producing foods (beans, carbonated beverages—abdominal distension impairs breathing).
QUIT SMOKING (absolutely critical—progression continues if still smoking, even reduction helps but cessation necessary), pulmonary rehabilitation (exercise training, education—PROVEN to improve quality of life and reduce hospitalizations, one of most effective interventions), breathing exercises (pursed-lip breathing, diaphragmatic breathing), regular exercise (walking, cycling—as tolerated, critical despite difficulty breathing), energy conservation techniques (pace activities, rest breaks), avoid respiratory irritants (smoke, pollution, strong odors, cold air), prevent infections (hand washing, flu and pneumonia vaccines, avoid sick people), supplemental oxygen if prescribed (improves survival in chronic hypoxemia), airway clearance techniques (controlled coughing, chest physiotherapy if excessive mucus), maintain healthy weight (both underweight and overweight worsen COPD), adequate sleep (elevate head of bed if orthopnea), manage anxiety and depression (common in COPD—therapy, support groups), plan for exacerbations (action plan with doctor—when to increase meds, seek care).
