Guest guest Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'd rule out lyme and co...both of my kids were dx'd with airways diseases and had multiple CF testing....one immunologist went as far as to say that my older NT kid needed another pneumoccal vaccine. my little one stuggles with moldy weather, mold in general and seasonal allergies. it used to be bad and too many trips to docs/er....lowering the infection load improved that.. we just added r-ala and it's been amazing. he's tanked on alot of stuff and horrified a few DANS with his mercury dumps, so for us it's a gentle balance but ridding the infections (with mostly naturals) has pulled out alot of stuff. almost think we might be able to chelate him soon in the traditional sense. a few tests that you might want to run (lab corp...finally something insurance should cover) HLA DR BQ CD57 VEGF leptin MSH there are a few more....email me off list if you want the list with the codes needed to get it paid. hope your son is doing better! lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks Pam. Some of what I know about non-drug approaches to treating CF are on my website: http://www.healthgazelle.com Super short summary of some basics: Immediately get some good quality sea salt and start working on PH balance. People with CF tend to be way too acid, which promotes lung inflammation, malabsorption, infection, etc. -- ie most (if not all) of the issues people with CF have are directly impacted by this. Even if the child does not have CF, this approach will very likely help. In my experience, it is not your genes that make you sick. It is your body chemistry. Your genes just predispose you to developing a certain body chemistry, but you can actively choose to compensate for that and turn things around. I'm about to get ready for work. I've been mostly " absent " on this list due to working a lot of overtime here lately and I am about to go do more of that. If the original poster wants to contact me privately, my email address is on every page of my website. I missed the original post and don't have time right now to go looking for it. Peace and hope that helps.
