But he shouldn't "hurl". Too many people these days want the "quick fix", and rather then going out and taking a pro-active stance on their health, simply decide to pop a pill. I used to take Zithromax every single day. But I wish I knew then what I know now. I'm not saying this works for all CF patients, so don't get me wrong here. You have been presented an excellent opportunity. Maybe it's a sign that your son is showing side effects from antibiotics? I don't know how bad your son is, but if the situation were reversed, I would wean him off of all antibiotics and cleanse his body. Try to get him to consume only healthy foods; cause in this day and age, one must look diligently to find anything not synthetically made. That is the goal of the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry- make everyone sick so they must rely on medicines which the FDA provides; so the chain of raking in the cash never ends. That's the horror of unbridled capitalism- more emphasis on money than humans. They cannot patent a natural remedy; so right away they discount it and downplay its significance. I know I have a habit of rambling; but above all, make sure your son stops consuming anything that says, "Diet.".
I realize that quitting antibiotics is not an option for every CF'er, but IMO antibiotics and drugs as a whole are what is contributing to you being sick. Look at animals in the wild; they don't get diabetes or CF or the like because we haven't gotten our collective clawhooks into them. Unless they are in captivity, they stay somewhat healthy. I am no medical expert, but I have had great success in implementing this procedure. We were born on earth, and our creator made sure we have everything here that we need to remain healthy.
