Hi Shelby, It is important to keep his glutathione levels optimised. Stress really depletes our glutathione levels, allowing the inflammation/infection cycle to take hold. It is a vicious circle as the chronic infection lowers glutathione further. Check my page for more info.
Also, has he tried...
Hi Tisha,
Great idea about the lavender oil! Lavender oil is a potent antibacterial so I can see that it would be beneficial!
Very interesting too about the hawthorn - how do you take it?
Thanks!
NAC (N acetyl cysteine) works by increasing our glutathione levels, which is a good strategy because glutathione is known to be severely depleted in cystic fibrosis, leading to the cycle of chronic inflammation and infection. I have been doing a lot of research into glutathione and discovered a...
Increase your energy
The best supplement I have found for increasing energy levels is Cellgevity. It works by increasing your glutathione levels, which will help you to fight off the infection and reduce inflammation too. Check out: www.Cellgevity4CF.com

Hi, sorry to hear about the constant I-V's. That can't be much fun. I had a phase a few years ago where I needed lots of i-v's (including vanc for MRSA) and constant oral antibiotics and then I had a serious bout of pneumonia. I also had an immune system 'meltdown' with systemic...
Top quality nutrition is vital for CF
CF patients are often encouraged to eat junk food - cola, crisps, burgers, etc - anything to get the calories in it seems! However a diet full of transfats, sugar and high fructose corn syrup will just play havoc with the liver and pancreas, leading...
It's not all hopeless. I agree that a lot of the stories we hear about CF people tend to be on the negative side.
But there are lots of people living normal healthy lives with CF. I am 37 and was diagnosed at age 3.
I am lucky to lead a normal life and have devised some strategies to keep...
I agree that having CF is not a licence to eat junk food! We need top quality nutrition and lots of green vegetables to help to alkalise the body. An acidic body will encourage bacterial infection.
I have a healthy green juice every morning - check out my video for the recipe...
Did you know that horseradish has powerful anti-pseudomonas properties? Garlic is also a powerful anti bacterial and anti viral herb.
I have had PA for nearly 30 years and am still very healthy with almost normal lung function. I find nebulised hypertonic saline invaluable to keeping my...
There is hope - I am 37 years old, have CF and very healthy. When I was born the outlook was very bleak, but thankfully my mum was a nurse and kept me well.
I had a very normal childhood and was never made to feel different, which I am very grateful for. Airway clearance was always a game...
Hi, I am 37 years old and also have CF. When I was a child I hated doing physio, so instead my parents would tickle me (very effective and fun!), get my brother to chase me and run races (also very effective!), blowing up balloons and bouncing on the trampoline. Singing is also a fantastic way...
From a 37 year old with cystic fibrosis (delta 508)
When I was born 37 years ago, my parents were given a very bleak outlook for my prognosis. Despite this, I have now reached the age of 37 and remain very healthy. I have a degree in Physiology and work as a medical imaging specialist. I lead a...
