Beating Bronchiectasis: How I Went from Diagnosis to Full Recovery in Just One Year Paperback – November 11, 2016

I think this was a great book! It’s a pretty quick read which was exactly what I needed. I suffer from lots of health issues, but breathing problems started two years ago. I’ve already been on the alternative medicine/functional doctor route for nearly two decades so not a ton of information was new to me. BUT, hearing other health success stories are very encouraging to me and give me hope I will continue to get better myself! What I loved was seeing how he stayed 100% committed to healing and was consistent with everything. It’s hard not to feel guilt for not partaking in activities even when I feel I should say no. This book inspired me to try harder and work towards putting some of these lung-specific practices into motion daily instead of being wishy washy about them. Thanks for the encouragement! I definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a little inspiration.

The author voices a lot of the concerns and issues that those of us with Bronchiectasis and related lung conditions deal with. The biggest take away is you are your own advocate for your health and you alone are responsible to make it work. Enjoyed reading this book.

I have bronchiectasis and wanted to pick up some ideas to improve my condition. I gave it a quick read will read certain sections again. Very helpful for individuals who haven't researched other alternatives other than drugs.Some suggestions will be helpful. Exercise, massage, and core conditioning are also keys to better health. My CT is amazing - said the pulmonologists. Amazing meant "bad"; however, they were amazed at my exercise tolerance and my general health. I am in great condition, not short of breath and almost no cough. This book will be a catalyst to try other options. Very little is written about this subject from a patient experience. The book is well worth the $4.

I think it should be known that a majority of the supplements the author listed in his protocol with healing his lungs are products that his Naturopath sells on her website. When I made that connection, I felt let down because that Naturopath clearly wanted to make coin back when she told him what to take. I absolutely despise those kinds of holistic frauds who entice you to spend money at THEIR shop. All of the supplements she’s selling can easily be found anyplace else for cheaper. There’s nothing special about her products.Regarding the book and overall message- I find it encouraging but also very unclear. He doesn’t ever speak of his bronchiectasis in terms I’m familiar with and I have bronchiectasis. He didn’t use typical bronchiectasis treatments either. He just dives right into his healing. The author states he doesn’t want to be a snake-oil salesman and I think I believe him. But I also think his particular lung health, privileged schedule, high income, connections and education all pour into his outcome.Semi-good read but very unfulfilling. Too many questions unanswered.

Actually, this is Brent's wife that bought the book. I was diagnosed with Brohchiectasis in March 2017. I have read quite a lot about it since then.The only thing I can say is, "You can not beat bronchiectasis" You and I will both be dealing with it for the rest of our lives. You can however, rid your lungs of MAC, which I have dealt with two different times now. With that said, I thought you did a great job of suggesting paths to take! I am not a person to sit still with a problem, I want to take action. I have referred back to you book several times. I also bought your book for my doctor (internist) and my husband. I want each of them to understand what I am dealing with.Thanks for writing this book and doing research that I would have ended out doing myself eventually!

Good read but not for my problem

Really good, easy read. Good reflection on how diligent one must be to maintain their overall health, but even more so when it comes to Bronchiectasis. We followed a lot of his guidelines and saw a great improvement with our son. It is clear when we "fall off" the regime, he tends to become more congested again. Glad to have some insight and inspiration. We bought copies to share with families and teachers for better understand.

This well written book is based on the author's personal recovery from bronchiectasis, but contains lessons for anyone with an illness that is looking for help outside of standard medicine, or simply a more healthy way of being. The author concisely describes the struggles he went through with his illness and how, by taking ownership of his situation, was able to radically improve this condition.The book is a gift from the author to all who read it. It is an authentic story of teamwork, love, work, growth and lessons learned.
