DEAR DR. GOTT: I have had COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) for many years and recently have been diagnosed with pseudomonas aeruginosa that has colonized. I have looked it up on the Internet, and what I find is very technical to read and not very encouraging. Does it ever go away? Will antibiotic treatment get rid of it? Will exercise, vitamins, minerals, diet changes or anything else be of assistance? What is the prognosis for this disease? What medical centers are doing research or trials?
