The WEI Institute is pretty much considered a scam among pulmonologists; just less of a scam than the Lung Institute and their stem cell treatment. It's definitely a for profit institution and they want your money! Interestingly you can have much the same results they get by establishing an aggressive daily exercise program with your doc and watching what you eat very carefully so you get as close to your normal weight as possible. You don't need to spend money to do that, unless you want to count a monthly gym membership. My advice? Save your money and take control of your COPD the way many of us do.

My husband and I started 10 yrs ago when we gutted and tore down walls etc. lived in house while doing it. Yuck. He passed 6 yrs ago. I still have a back hallway to level, re- insulate, drywall, finish trim and electrical and one bedroom. Then FINALLY I will be done. Try to work 3-5 hrs with lots of breaks lol but it is sure getting light at the end of the tunnel and keeping me busy. Isn’t that what all of us need? Hard to find good people to do these jobs. I’ll pray for you🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

@A MyCOPDTeam Member Sounds like you did research them and it’s your decision to try it or not. Let me know if you decide to do it or not. Take care. Oh, do you hire out for remodeling jobs? I could use some remodeling done here!! Take care and have a great weekend!!

A MyCOPDT...

Thanks Jean and EMC3. I was very healthy eating healthy with a well maintained asthma regiment. Two years ago with all the fires we got smoke both from The west coast and my state of CO. Ended me in ER o2 was in mid 60’s. Boom that was it. 3rd stage COPD 4 ltrs 24/7 o2. Due to neck issues (drs want to rod c2-c6) I have been limited on the kinds of exercises but was still riding recumbent ICE trike and tons of walking with my German Shepherds. So I’m not just wasting away in fact I’ve been trying to finish remodeling my house. I am very handy. I am however open to try new things besides what I am currently doing. If anything makes me feel better with a bit more energy I’m open to it. As far as the money..... I can’t take it with me 😁😬😁 I do understand the Scam idea but so far I’ve not found any complaints about them as of yet. I’m still looking and will continue to do so. Thanks for your input.

As above,
What you will lose is your money and maybe feel more discouraged then ever.
