COPD
Education
Welcome
to COPDeducation, a website designed for people
interested in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. We are
pleased to offer COPDeducation in partnership with
Boehringer Ingelheim International, a world leader in COPD
research and advocacy. Our association with Boehringer
Ingelheim gives COPDeducation a global perspective, allowing
us to draw on vast international resources to provide
material on all aspects of COPD. Most often diagnosed as
either chronic bronchitis or emphysema, Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is currently ranked as the fifth
most common cause of death worldwide, and its prevalence is
growing.

EFFORTS:
Emphysema Foundation For Our Right To Survive
a
non-profit organization which takes an active role in
promoting research for more effective treatment and,
hopefully, a cure for Emphysema and related lung diseases.
We also work to further the education of those who are not
completely familiar with our disease, and we provide a
support mailing list for our members. . . In late November
of 1997, Gary Bain, Mick Wagner and Sharon Adkins, were
members of another COPD support group. We had an idea that
there might be interest in forming sort of a "members
profile" site that would be accessible by the group we
were members of at that time. . . We started it in December
of 1997 and it took off like gangbusters. Suddenly everyone
was interested in completing the Questionnaire to see how
they compared to others by actually comparing the Profiles
in writing. We kept adding questions to it as well. It still
is one of our favorite parts of our "family" and
can be seen by clicking on Members Pages and Profiles from http://www.emphysema.net/bindex.html
.. . . We have no commercial ties with any company. We are
only people with Emphysema, we are only human. We are only
humans with Emphysema. We are not multimillionaire's
although we are an industry for many multimillionaire's. We
are the "tired, the hungry, and the poor" in many
ways.
