Was poking around the internet and found TOCRIS Biosciences site... I found it quite interesting. They have several compounds for Cl Ion channel transporting and blocking. Cool thing is you can buy them... if you are wealthy enough.

<p class="marT5">However the one I found most intestesting was DCPIB. Oddly it is a Cl Channel BLOCKER. What they found it does in-vitro is inhibits glucose stimulated insulin secretion. HMMMMM. Let's think about that. If CF in our bodies normally would do this, is CFRD possibly related to high enough levels of a similar chemical in the body due to lack of Cl Transport on the CFTR what causes CFRD and that it is only because the secretion mechanism is shut off by this and nothing more? Possibly fluctuates from time to time giving us inconcistencies in BSG levels?

i see that they are doing a study with sidefinal (sp) http://www.cff.org/Display/dsp_ClinicalResearchHTML.cfm?id=153 http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00659529?term=Sildenafil+and+cystic+fibrosis&rank=1 you think a doctor would prescribe it?
ahaha- wait a minute- is it viagra?

Yep it's viagra. I could probably talk my doc into it. I saw CFF was studying it a while ago. However they aren't looking at it for the same reasons if I recall on their timeline they have it listed under anti-inflammitory drug.
