I suppose it just might....hahahaif it can turn curry and tumeric yellow...why not a person....may look a little juandice, but hey your CF would be gone...I think I could live with that!
I am a mother who had five children. Four of them had CF. Three of them have passed away and I am definetly excited about this new discovery. I sincerely hope that this is indeed the hope for all children and young adults and their familys for a long awaited cure. Never ever give up hope and faith and definetly get excited about every small and big discovery. I thank God every day for the wonderful people who dedicate their lives so that ours can hopefully live a long one and it is our excitement and thanks that keep them going.Mary Lou
