"After 22 years treating COPD patients, I've watched thousands of people do everything right — take their medications, follow their routines, show up to every appointment — and still struggle to breathe. The problem almost never lies with the patient. It lies with how the medication is being delivered."

#1: Your Inhaler Fires At 70 MPH — And Misses Most Of Your Lungs

Standard inhalers fire at 70 mph

Particles hit your throat and get swallowed before reaching your airways. 

Only 20–30% of each dose ever reaches your lungs.

#2: Pills and Supplements Never Reach Your Airways

Swallowed. Digested. Destroyed by stomach acid. 

Less than 1%
of any oral supplement ever touches your airways. 

Alluna delivers directly into the bronchial passages
— no digestive system involved.

#3: Traditional Nebulizers Keep You A Prisoner In Your Own Home

5 pounds. Power outlet required. Sounds like a lawnmower. 

Treatments take 30 minutes tethered to a table. 

COPD already shrinks your world.
Your nebulizer shouldn't make it smaller.

#4: Deep Lung Relief Requires Particles Smaller Than 5 Microns — And Most Devices Can't Get There

The deep airways — where COPD does its worst damage — only accept particles under 5 microns.

Standard inhaler particles are too large. They bounce off bronchial walls and get exhaled. 

Alluna's vibrating mesh creates particles under 5 microns — sized to reach where nothing else does.

#5: Treatment In 8 Minutes — At The Park, At The Table, Anywhere You Go

Fits in a jacket pocket. Runs on battery. Completely silent. 

Treatments finish in 8 minutes while you sit outside or watch your grandchildren play. 

You don't build your day around it. You barely notice it.

#6: When Medication Finally Reaches The Right Tissue, Nights Change First

Most COPD patients sleep sitting up. Stacked pillows. A recliner. Half-awake all night.

When medication reaches the deep airways, the nighttime tightness starts to ease.

No recliner. No stacked pillows. You sleep in your bed again.

#7: The Moments COPD Took From You — They Don't Have To Stay Gone

Every COPD patient I treat can name the exact moment they stopped doing something they loved. 

The walk cut short. The family dinner left early. The grandchildren watched from a chair. 

Those moments were taken by a delivery problem
. When the medication arrives — they start coming back.

#8: You Risk Nothing — You Have 60 Days To Prove It To Yourself

Most people with COPD have tried things that didn't work. We know that. That's exactly why Alluna comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee — no questions, no hoops.

Try it for 60 days. If your breathing hasn't improved, you pay nothing. 

The only risk is not finding out.

Your 60-Day Breathe-Easier Timeline

✓ Days 1-3: First full treatments complete. Airways receive medication doses they may not have had in years.

✓ Days 4-10: Morning tightness begins easing. Less effort to clear airways after waking.

✓ Weeks 2-3: Breathing feels less labored. Walk a little farther without stopping. Sleep becomes less interrupted.

✓ Weeks 4-6: Activities that required planning — a walk, a family dinner, time outside — start happening again without the same dread.

✓ Weeks 7-8: The recliner stays empty. Sleep is flat. You're present for the moments that matter again.

Try what respiratory therapists are recommending right now — a vibrating mesh nebulizer that creates particles under 5 microns, completes treatments in 8 minutes, and fits in your jacket pocket. 

What thousands of COPD patients found after years of standard treatment that kept falling short.

Every day the right dose doesn't reach your lungs, your airways pay the price.
