I am 76 years old with bronchitis/ chronic bronchiectasis for which is alwys terminal because there is NO treatment and until a few weeks ago I was unable to walk up any stairs without using my inhaler profusely but after a few doses of 2mg Astaxanthin I am able to walk up as many as 30 stairs with no breathlessness or use of my inhaler, hopefully it will slow or stop this disease in its tracks
