The situation in Lebanon

Just an update on how things are developing in Lebanon. In medical terms, there have been some aid for people from neighboring countries but not in case of cf drugs. The country is already screwed in terms of cf medications so now in the war there are no cf drugs available at all ( enzymes especially). Im currently off enzymes.

The electricity is absent but we thrive on generators. 1 million people are displaced and will basically be left homeless after the war. The death toll is rising daily and many are under the rubbles. The southern part of the capital Beirut is on ground. South Lebanon is completely destroyed and there are no signs of life except for the fighters left there.

Condoliza Rice keeps coming and going invain. The Israeli army is not differenciating between civilians and military men so its firing haphazardly ( U.S made weapons to be frank).

These actions induced nothing but more hatred and grudges developing in civilians. So the basic goal of the Israeli campaign will fail. Violence brings more violence and not the opposite. As a result of the crisis now, more innocent people would be at stake of some sort of revenge attacks all over the world just like what happened against some innocent jews a few days ago in the U.S.

I can not but question the wisdom of the leaders who are backing the Israeli attack.

Concerning my life and safety. It is really no big deal to me to die bec of the war bec I'm already dying of CF. So I dont have much to lose basically though my family does. I admit I'm living with more limited medications now but frankly in Lebanon the government ( bunch of greedy selfish pathetic people) doesnt care about the welfare of sick people especially CF because its very rare. So I shouldnt complain much especially now.

I will keep you updated if I have the chance to. Sorry for my word if it is off topic but atleast I have the right to vent in my life. Thank you all.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have a war happening all around us. You're right about violence resulting in more violence. I never understood how violence is supposed to stop anything. I hope things get better for you!

I was thinking of you as I posted about Allie. Someone had mentioned you a few posts back when this all started, and you have been in my thoughts also. I as so sorry the innocents are always the ones to suffer the most, never the ones who order the killing--on both sides. I don't know to much about you, just have seen your posts. How old are you? I wish I could get you your enzymes, can you get to the north? I you did, could we mail you some enzymes at some address there? I suppose the mail is non-existant. I want to do something, anything...

I'll be keeping you in my prayers. I can't even begin to imagine what you are going thru right now. I'm so sorry. I wish I had some kind of medicine I could send, so if when I get home I will check and see.

I will be praying for you. What a horrible situation to be in . I will definitely see what i can do to get some medical supplies to you from my nurses . Its one thing to be in such a horrible situation, but to have it made worse by having no medication is just wrong. We cant let that happen.

Do you need enzymes? We have Ultrase MT20's. Not sure if that would work for you but email me division902@hotmail.com if you want to give those a try. We'll send some!

I, too am sorry to hear of your plight. I pray for peace for both countries/peoples involved.....well for the whole Middle East if that's possible to have peace there<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">

Until he can get some enzymes, does anyone know of any herbal type things that would aid in digestion that he could try at this time until he gets some???
I would assume that would be better than taking nothing?

Please keep us updated.

I also have Ultrace MT20's I could send.

I also have aciphex, albuterol (inhaler and neb), and flovent.

Please let us know if there is anyway to mail these ideas to you.

You are in my thoughts.

I sent my doctor a message asking him to email/call his contacts at
the CF Foundation about this issue. I know it will not be easy to
solve, but we'll all try to help you.
