Not sure what your q: I'm not sure what you are asking. True ipf has no cure or treatment from any medical tradition. You are free to pursue quack remedies, but you would be better off getting him in a clinical trial than trying that.

Enroll in a trial: The consensus statement recommendation is to enroll in a clinical trial. Outside of us, one can try pirfenidone.
