I would ask you doc to review the study and advise. This isn't about chances, it's about cold hard science and what's best for your son. In this case the science does not support the treatment. Furthermore, HTS is known to cause bronchospasm in some patients, which I'm sure your 2yo could not...

I'll see if i can find the study on the P450. They used caffeine, which is also metabolized on that cytochrome. The results were pretty incredible. I've only met one doc who knew about it, without me having to reference it for them.

Yes, people with CF have enhanced metabolism on the P450 cytochrome.
