Ok well i got this email from a mailing list, which is written by the wonderful lady that created GSH therapy. Just thought I would share some of them.
335.This study suggests that 4 weeks of TOBI was
more effective in fighting PA than nebulized colistin
and oral Cipro.
336. FEF25 is associated with lower airway
inflammation
339.Inhalation of nebulized L-arginine increases
exhaled NO and improved pulmonary function in CF pts.
NO augmentation therapy may be a valuable treatment
option for CF pts.
(the above is something of interest, and i do know of some people trying this thereapy, with good result)
373. Inspiratory muscle training helped CF pts to
improve expectoration and reduce sense of
breathlessness, and they also had fewer days of abx
than the control group
379. The Frequencer is a digitally controlled
electro-acoustical transducer device invented by a CF
adult and manufactured by Dymedso. A power head
transmits vibrations to the airways. The user adjusts
the frequency until a sympathetic resonance in the
thorax is felt. The Frequencer induced similar
clearance to that of CPT.
(seems like an interesting alternative to the vest, wonder how much)
384. The Quake, the Acapella, and the Flutter were
evaluated, and the Quake proved to be the best. It is
made by Thayer Medical
(the Quake is the new one, looks pretty cool)
443. Oral intake of 30 mg.day of zinc gluconate
reduced the # of days of oral Abx. A higher daily
dose may be needed to protect from respiratory tract
infections and enhance zinc-related immunity response.
448. CF mice fed EPA (an omega 3 fatty acid) had
statistically lower mortality compared with mice fed
arachidonic acid or control mice.
(similar human studies shown to be effective)
498. Complementry medicine was used with 18% of CF
chlidren and 57% of CF adults. One-third did not
inform their doctors.
(WOOPS hahahahha)
507. Reported rates of adherence to CPT among CFers
is 40-47%. Adherence to enzymes was <50%.
(Interesting)
Just thought I would share...
