I'm doing some research on the Pleurisy and I found a post I had made a few yrs ago for someone else. I've been taking Grape Seed Extract for 20 yrs soon and have no lung congestion issues ever. Here is what I said to some other people:
I just googled Pleurisy and Grapeseed Extract. (Link Not Allowed)
I'm talking about Grapeseed Extract and not Grape Fruit Seed Extract.
Lungs, Pleurisy Treatment
The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system which remove carbon dioxide from and bring oxygen to the blood. Pleurisy is an inflammation of the lining of the lungs
Take grape seed extract to repair lung damage.
Drink spinach and apple juices in 1:4 proportion in the mornings to help strengthen lungs.
Pleurisy
Strictly desist from all liquids and foods except plain hot or cold water, 3-4 glasses daily for the first few days. Gradually increase to 5-6 or more glasses each day. Once acute pleurisy symptoms clear, take 250ml milk every 2 hours on the first day. On the second day drink it every 1½ hour, hourly on the third, and every ¾ of an hour on the fourth, and so on. An orange can also be taken with the milk. Do not exceed taking 4 liters of milk daily. Repeat, if necessary, the short fasts and milk diet following it, at regular intervals.
Other measures : Apply a hot chest pack for an hour 2-3x daily, replacing with a cold pack if fever becomes high. Practice deep breathing, have adequate rest and get plenty of fresh air.
Just throwing this out as I'm a strong believer and user of Grapeseed Extract and my respiatory system is excellent.""
Do some of your own research on Pleurisy and Grape Seed Extract, OK.
Personally, I've never known anyone with Pleurisy and don't know what doctors suggest, they probably write scripts....don't know. I'd like to help but this is what I found from years ago.
