That is too funny. Just a few weeks ago I was at our Towns little Pumpkin Festival. While there i had run into Austin's friend and his parents. She was talking about Austin and his Cystic Fibrosis and she started talking about herbs and crap. I just ppolitely told her that there is no cure and I honestly don't think that the herbs would do anything for him and politely excused ourselves.

I know she meant well but I didn't want to deal with it. I also told her if only it were that simple for herbs to cure a disease believe me I would have done it as soon as he was diagnosed. And saved ourselves alot of this suffereing and heartache. Why would I want to have my child go through all of this if a herb cured CF.

Ahh, if I had a nickel...

It's been a while since our last insensitive/uninformed comment from a stranger but I know how enormously aggravating it can be. You've never ready and it always floors you. I feel your pain - hang tough sister.

I can totally relate. We have well-meaning folks who like to constantly remind us that with our daughter's gene mutations that she will "just be a carrier" and we don't need to worry or do all of the "preventative stuff."

I usually have to bite my lip to keep from screaming.

I'm glad to know that a cure has been found. When you all get the info pulled together, let me know so I can treat my CF carrier. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
