Suggest Remedy For Lung Disease

My cousin moved back to Ohio; after she contracted Silicone Valley lung disease. With all the medication she is taking; her teeth have broken off at the gum level. She has been put on SSDisability and has been living with the roots of her teeth; is losing strength, and with the deterioration of her lungs needs an oral surgeon to remove the roots. She is very frightened and I thought maybe you could help her get the treatment she needs. Diane has been a professional designer all her working life and NOW has lost her confidence, to go out in public. I want to see her get her confidence back. Please help her Dr. Phil. She is a beautiful Lady and I love to see her back to the professional career she loved so much as a designer.

Hey there,

Looking at her case it seems she might have taken steroids for lung disease.

With steroids such condition can happen.

She might require vitamine D3 and calcium supplimentation and a denture for her.

As currently we have steroids as a sole treatment of her lung condition, continue same treatment.
