Smoking Pot/RSO Oil
I have been using Rick Simpson Oil now for 3 weeks and I have seen some amazing results.http://phoenixtears.ca/ I have also been smoking Marijuana for a year now. Ive found that it breaks and forces that mucus up. Sure the coughing hurts and is certainly not fun but if you can tough out the painful part smoking gets easier over time and the pain relief is almost instant! Anyone else experiencing great results with Marijuana use? I was not ever officially diagnosed with CF we started to suspect I had it a year ago. Over time I noticed my "asthma" attacks getting worse and worse and it feels like I have a lung infe...

colloidal Silver?
Hello All!
This is my first time posting, but I am desperately trying to find information about colloidal silver.
There is some talk bubbling up among my Cf community about nebulizing colloidal silver, so I wanted to get a feel for it from y'all. I've been trying to find research on the issue but all I can come up with is claims by the actual companies selling the product.
I will admit I am very skeptical, so this post will reflect my fear. Please know I am not trying to offend anyone or start an argument, but I would like to see some healthy debate on the issue. I think we can be adults and not get everyone's ire up...

Alternative Pain Medicine
Hi all!
I posted in the Adult Section just now - but wanted to post here as well.
Looking for some alternatives to pain medicine - my BF is currently taking VICODIN (6-8 pills per day) to manage his chronic pain from CF and also to deal with the pain that comes with his recent lung surgery (left lung had collapsed recently)
His current pain doctor feels that he is abusing the pain medicine, he is a 26 year old male (BF)
Looking for some suggestions/help! We are in the process in looking for a new doctor for a second opinion but I would love to hear some alternative pain medicine that helps with the pain in the inner ...

Alternative Medicine interview questions
I know everyone is gearing up for interviews (Yay!) and I figure I will be asked this, as well as many others, so thought I'd start a thread for ideas because I didn't see one already. I know a lot of vet schools ask in interviews what your thoughts are on alternative/holistic medicine. However, I also know there are some vets that wholeheartedly believe in it, and some who laugh at it.
Can you guys think of a good way to answer this question? I can see both sides of the issue, but don't want to come off as wishy-washy.
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network Forums)

Alternatives to Aquadeks
I was very disappointed to read that my Aquadeks have food dyes and GMOs on the ingredient list- can any of you recommend an alternative with a comparable vitamin profile?
Thanks! (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Alternative Medicine Forum)

CF related bowel cancer and alternative therapies?
Hi I am 12 years post lung transplant for CF. Last year, I was diagnosed with small bowel adenocarcinoma at 39, did surgery and chemo ,and five months after stopping chemo , it came back and metastasized. I had more surgery and am doing chemo again. My oncologists have never seen a CF -post-lung transplant pt with cancer before so I feel like I am playing doctor in this role as an expert of my body and doing my own research on PubMed, ect.
has any other cf adult out there had bowel cancer and how did you handle it with the docs? were you post-transplant ? if so, how did you handle the chemo and immunosuppressants?
Did...

Wanted: Participants for test group homeopathic treatment of Cystic Fibrosis
.
Hello,
My name is Deny De Meyer, I am a Belgian classic homeopath. Currently, I’m in the process of starting up a test group of people with cystic fibrosis, for a homeopathic treatment of 3 months. It’s my intention to gather a lot of experience over a short period of time regarding the treatment of CF-patients by means of homeopathy: to see how deep homeopathy can affect them and what results are possible.
You might be wondering, “A Belgian homeopath, what’s she doing here on this American forum?”
In order to achieve as much information as possible over such a short time, it is necessar...

Anyone have any experience with Quinton or Marine Plasma?
My wife is pregnant with a CF baby due in January. My aunt owns a health products company in Colorado and she's been doing some research and talking with doctors and she highly suggests that we start some treatments with a product called Quinton which i believe is also called marine plasma. It's supposed to be great for all around health and help fight diseases/sickness etc. She's sending 6 boxes for free to get started which is awesome, and so far I haven't seen anything negative about it. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Alternative Medicine Forum)

Anyone Heard of MSM / DMSO?
My Dad has found, through research, a naturally ocurring compound called MSM. Naturally ocurrs in the body and in many foods. Basically a sulphur that our body needs.
Why does it POTENTIALLY relate to CF?
Because MSM affects cell membranes, especially mucous membranes. It basically naturally coats cell membranes to help relieve them of excess pressure, fluid and toxins. It is believed to have amazing anti-inflammatory effects. I found a few articles referencing MSM use for the respiratory and digestive tracts.
There aren't many studies done on this, and as usual, our ridiculous FDA does not want to approve this. Only side ...
