The pharmaceutical companies are in their back pockets. The geneticist might be looking for answers but the pharm. and FDA aren't. You all must find the answers yourself, by studying human biology and understanding just how the body works. We are all assaulted by daily applications of pesticides to our foods (approved by the FDA), and we all breathe polluted air. We are also eating meats that are injected with steroids and hormones and drinking milk with remnants of the Bovine Growth Hormone; both approved by the FDA. So who's side do you think the FDA is really on???? You need to simply try to understand that the body is made up of five components; water, amino acids (proteins), minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids. Glutathione is formed in the body by three amino acids which are glycine, glutamate and methionine, of which the latter is what most of us are lacking, due to all the assaults our body has to endure on a daily basis. Methionine is a sulfur containing amino, which provides our body with natural chelators to remove toxic substances from our bodies. Glutathione is very important for everyone, not just ones with Cystic Fibrosis. My own molecular testings revealed I was low in all my sulfur containing aminos. So basically what I'm trying to convey, is you must all take control of your own lives and health, quit depending on the gov't. to give you false hope, quit depending on the pharmaceutical companies to give you more harmful and damaging drugs to destroy your sensitive ecosystem of your body, take a initiative to start learning as much as you can about how the body operates from a nutritional standpoint, and DO start feeding your body the nutrients it needs, based on its five components. Eat as many sulfur containing, ORGANIC vegetables as you can, to replenish these stores, and eat organic meats. Eat nuts, seeds, and coconut in their raw state for life giving fatty acids that keep the cells permeable, and eat good organic fruits on an empty stomach for their cleansing properties. Eat fresh salads 3x's per day with a bit of olive oil and rice vinegar. And above all: AVOID ALL PROCESSED FOOD, FAST FOOD, SIMPLE SUGARS, WHEAT, DAIRY (UNLESS RAW) MSG, AND ASPARTAME. I am a researcher looking for my own answers to my affliction, and I can tell you the FDA doesn't have a clue!!!!<hr></blockquote>
