Do you have any way to regulate or add chlorine to the water? I was told at my last visit that swimming pools, for the most part, are safe because they are treated with chlorine which kills the harmful bacteria. I wouldn't suggest allowing your child to drink the pool water (mine likes to...

OK really? Back off a bit there. I never said NOT to do something the doctor prescribed... I was just repeating information we received from OUR Doc. And NO, hypertonic saline is not just prescibed "across the board" "just because one has CF". Especially for a newborn! I know that it makes...

I could talk for DAYS about this one. I wanted to say first off that hypertonic saline is a very harsh treatment and not easy to handle. I surely wouldn't think it would even be an option for an asymptomatic infant. I was told by our Doc that HS doesn't even come into play until later on...

Great research! Aiden had no other symptoms when he was that little. Remember, CF is a PROGRESSIVE disease. He had normal poos (as normal as newborn poos could be), and was born in the 70-80th percentile for weight. He was almost 9 lbs! We only had the alert from the IRT level to signal our...

I've been giving my son Turmeric root (contains curcuminoids) for about a month now. Curcumin was proven effective in reducing or eliminating the digestive problems with CF at a cellular level in mice. Not humans. Unfortunately, they are not able to re-create the lung problems in mice so they...
