Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis IPF infographic
In 2013 the government invested only £600,000 in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) research – leukaemia research received over £32m from all sources, – despite the fact IPF kills more people each year than leukaemia.
Funding for research of the disease is also significantly lower than for other conditions – in 2013 the government invested only £600,000 in IPF research – leukaemia research received over £32m from all sources.
There are estimated to be around 15,000 people living with IPF in the UK. 5,000 of those will be dead within a year, while over 5,000 more will be diagnosed within the same period. Comparatively 2,600 people are diagnosed with leukaemia each year.
The number of people with IPF in the UK is increasing by around 5% a year. It can progress very quickly with half of IPF patients dying, usually of respiratory failure, within three years of diagnosis.
Those affected by the condition are joining together to mark IPF awareness week by calling for more research and support for IPF patients and their families.

(PULMONARY FIBROSIS SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT)
I’m from MaryLand USA, I was diagnosed with Pulmonary fibrosis in Feb 2011. I may have had it for 1 or 2 years prior to that. It started with a dry cough and mild temperature, shortness of breath and fatigue. A CT scan confirmed it and I was placed on prednisone (7.5 mg), azathioprine and N-Acetyl. As the disease progressed all medication stopped working, i was introduced to NewLife herbal clinic in South Africa who have successful herbal treatment to Pulmonary fibrosis and other lungs diseases.
