I am wondering what alternative/complementary health care approaches others with CF use. I have had monthly acupuncture treatments for over 12 years - starting with concerns about persistent sinus infection - which was several years before my CF diagnosis. Keeps me well, I think.
I've also experienced cranial sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, lymphatic massage, see a naturopath who helps me figure out supplements and just started restorative yoga. Please share any approaches you have tried and especially those you find to be helpful.

I've practiced yoga for several years and found it to be beneficial - not really a treatment, but sort of a way of life.

I am going ot start on the NAC soon.

I do things lke raw garlic when I am not feeling well and other natural and homeopathic remedies always before I turn to meds and abxs

I have done acupuncture only once (I wish I could afford to go more often) and I thought it was amazing. I would love to find a way to incorporate it into my routine.

um....right now I think that's it - oh, and I use essential oils as well for headaches, colds etc. I find them to be a a nice supplement to whatever other things I am doing.
