    Taking Pulmozyme? Yes or No.

    Hi sweetninis, pulmozyme is produced by a subsidiary of "hoffmann/ la-roche". Thats a pretty big pharma company so it should be available in your country.

    Question about diabetes testing

    hi, i got that chip for 7 days when i started prednisone. (you wrote in another post some weeks ago that your on prednisone for a short time now, right? your bloodsuger levels do always go up pretty much under prednisone cause cortisol is a natural antagonist of insulin. so i woud'nt worry about...

    Allergy attack when I drink wine--HELP!!!

    Wine has a lot of histamines, which can cause allergic reactions. If you dont want to give up wine you can get anti-histamine pills in your drug store. (problably you need a prescription, i dont know where you live). That should help you, however those pills can have some sideeffects to, like...

    Simple question about Prednisone

    hi, im shure that will go away after a few days, or even less. i had slightly increased cough with a little "brownish" mucus for about 2 days (on 50 mg prednisone). then it went away. now in the last 2 months on 25mg i had as little cough and mucus like never in the last 15 years. basicly only...

    O2 sats

    as some posters before me said: everyone is different. so i wouldnt freak out because of this "low" saturation. you have to remember, that even the o2 saturation of healthy (without cf) people does vary from 100-95%. slowly declining as the body is aging. for older people (like 60,70) it is...

    Children and colloidal silver

    @thelostmiler: you nearly right. as you said you actually use ionic silver. the answer is in the name. the silver particle is an positively charged ion, so can "steal" elektrons from other molecules. it can take an elektron from an oxygen atom in onecelled organisms (bacteria). that lets the...
