Hi,
Healthline just launched a campaign for called "You Are Not Your COPD" where COPD patients share their story or advice about living with the disease. You can see the homepage for the campaign here: http://www.healthline.com/health/copd/inspirational-stories
We have partnered with the COPD Foundation to promote the campaign and have pledged that for every submitted story, Healthline will donate $10 to the COPD Foundation.
I am writing to ask if you can help spread the word about this campaign by including it as a resource on your page: http://beyond-mbbs.blogspot.com/2010/02/quick-revision-1-cxr-features-of-copd.html
The more stories we receive the more Healthline will donate to COPD research, support, and treatment programs. Would you please consider including this on your site or sharing with your followers?
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you,
Maggie Danhakl • Assistant Marketing Manager

For people suffering from COPD, it is important for them to know that they are not alone. I was also a victim.
I had experienced shortness of breath, coughing, recurring chest infections and bronchitis. But I didn't realize that I had COPD until I went to my doctor and was diagnosed with COPD. The first thing I did was get myself informed. Having COPD hasn't slowed me down. Even though I had COPD I still played golf and involved myself in different exercise though I started smoking at 19 years of age I smoked almost a pack a day. The doctor had told me to quit smoking, it was frightening and frustrating, I thought it was to avoid stress. I learned about Dr. Lance Herbal Medicine from a friend. Now my life has turned around for good because I consider myself most fortunate.
There are so many people out there who have COPD and don’t realize it.
If you have COPD, many things are available to help you live a full, comfortable life don’t be ashamed of it.
I can’t speak for everyone. I can guarantee that this Herbal Medicine will work for you and I suggest you try it. It has done wonders for me. contact him on lancejustin54@gmail.com for more information and advice.
