Avacados. You can mix just about anything with them.

Im so glad to hear your story. I find myself in the same spot. For years I have done med after med while only getting worse and worse. 6 months ago I was on 36 different meds and I felt horrible. I had diabetes, constant pain, my stomach was so bad I wasn't even absorbing my kalydeco. I decided...

I too believe in the power of juicing. I have the Omega juicer and I make one green juice a day. I am also big on diet. We need the right amount of vitamins and minerals to heal the body. The only place you get those things from a food. I also cut out processed foods, white flours, pastas...

Have you tried natural antibiotics? I started taking garlic and its brought my psuedo counts down to almost non-existant. I also haven't cultured MRSA in over a year and I've cultured it since I was 16. There are also thinks like collodial silver. I haven't used it but I have a friend who is a...

Pain comes from inflammation. If you treat the inflammation you can help get rid of the pain. - in theory. I have had alot of issues with pain in the last 3 years and I believe it was in part to the pain meds. Once you've been on them for 30 days your body is addicted -not by choice but...

I really wish this section of CF.com was more active. I believe we could really change the CF community with this info. Check out my blog www.insidecf.blogpsot.com and see how Im using alternative medicine and diet.

Fever is a sign of infection somewhere in the body. I recommend lowering protien and dairy for a bit, upping fruits and veggie intake. Also cut out sugar and processed foods. Next add some vit C and garlic to your regime and see if that helps.

Ive had the flu since last monday, and I've treated it nautrally. 4000mg of vit c a day, garlic supplements, extra albuteral treatments, honey every 2-4 hours to help with cough. Also cut and onion in 1/2 and put it in your bedroom when you go to bed. I did this and I felt amazingly better from...
