Dear Jeanna,
I can totally relate to your feelings of confusion/direction to alleviate your symptoms as the Doctors monitor various aspects of our illness, but they don't offer solutions. What has dramatically reduced my congestion has been a natural cure- fresh lemon juice in a glass of water about 8x/day. I am a 54 year old CF patient and despite all my meds was experiencing cups of congestion daily, leaving me exhausted and practically bedridden. My congestion is now to a trickle- I feel great and am jogging again. Lemon in water taken in the body is the most alkaline food available. Germs (in my case Pseudomonas) cannot live in an alkaline environment.Alkalining has provided an immunity against colds too. However, when I get lazy and stop even for half a day the congestion comes back with a vengeance. As a result I have stopped taking Tobi and Azithomycin. I now only take pulmozyne and xopenex once a day. I would love to know if this gives relief to you.
Sincerely,
Mary s.
