Midnight is correct in most of his answer, except "to prevent pulmonary fibrosis. Since it is) for idiopathic (unknown in nature, it is impossible to avoid. In other words, if you do not know what causes the disease, there there is no way around. The sad truth is, is little known about the disease and not as rare as people think it is.

More than 200,000 people in the United States have produced PF and 50,000 new diagnoses each year. Estimates of the world, at least 15000000 people were affected. The disease kills many people annually as breast cancer, but there are very few resources for research. It is incurable and fatal to 100% of the time. Although lung transplantation may be the chances of survival more than it without a lung transplant organs that are just not enough help for those patients with PF.

I was diagnosed in 2003 and since less than 18 months. Well, obviously wrong, but statistically speaking, most people live 3 to 5 many years after diagnosis. This is a terrible way to die. I sincerely hopeYou do not. If you are not one days at a time. Try to take over the maintenance of all your health ... Avoid people with colds, fireplace, etc. Also, there is not much you can do. Hope this helps a little.

Pulmonary fibrosis, a hardening of the lung caused by fibers, such as caused scarring, is a progressive disease that affects the ability to breathe. It is fortunately very rare, less than 1% of adults, but for about 40,000 deaths per year in the United States.

Pulmonary fibrosis occurs when cells in the lung or the spaces between them filled with protein or inflammatory cells, blocking the flow of oxygen in the blood vessels. Fibrosis is initially listed in the walls of very narrow "pores" between the cells in the lungs and ultimately affects the alveoli (air) bags, the bronchioles (small branches of the tubes that conduct oxygen to the air sacs) and capillaries (blood vessels ,) to carry oxygen from the lungs.

I do not think you can solve it or heal, if they are suffering already. You can prevent it.

As a proactive about possible dangers to the health of their lungs work and leisure. More information about potential health risks used tools and materials. At work, they are used in lubricants AUIndustry, asbestos, silica, coal dust and metal or wood chips. Interests that may allow the use of propellants in spray painting or coating project, including threats to participate.
One of the most important steps in preventing lung disease with a respirator to protect your lungs from substances that can contribute to scar formation. In some cases, patients may need to transition to a less risky job to be done.
Be on the lookout for any cough that lasts longer than three months, or shortness of breath after activity.

For the contracts were in their entirety, you must undergo a lung transplant.
