Question

I belive that there is a medicine for cure of cystic fibrosis soewhere on the world but where? did you ever hear for something like that

Answer 1

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by a defect in a gene that regulates the transport of chloride into and out of cells. It is the most common fatal, inherited disease, affecting on in 2500 live births. Both parents of a child with CF are carriers of the defective gene. The odds are 1 in 4 that the child of two carriers will have CF.
CF is characterized by thick, sticky mucous in the lungs, digestive system and in males, the reproductive system. The mucous is difficult to cough up and will become infected with bacteria which will cause severe breathing problems and long term lung damage. The mucous also clogs up the digestive system, preventing absorption of nutrients, resulting in poor growth and development.
CF kids, and adults cough a lot, suffer from pneumonia, have very salty skin, have trouble gaining and keeping weight, suffer bowel blockages, chronic pancreatitis, nasal polyps, osteoporosis, shortness of breath and chronic fatigue. They are, however, immune to cholera.
There is no known cure for CF, but improvements in treatments, including antibiotics and inhaled enzymes to fight lung infections, Physiotherapy techniques to help clear mucus from the lungs, digestive enzymes to help absorb food, and dietary support to maximize on the food that is absorbed have helped prolong the lives and increase the quality of life of persons with CF.

Answer 2

There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. The closest resolution we have once we get to the end stages of the lung disease aspect is lung transplant. The transplant cures the CF in the lungs but we continue to experience the other problems associated with CF (digestive, osteoporosis, reproductive, etc.). Of course transplant, while being a wonderful miracle, also brings its own challenges with the immunosuppression routines and side effects from some of those medications but the post-transplant medical routine is much easier to manage than the pre-transplant program (especially as the disease progresses).

Answer 3

I believe Caroline S. who says her daughter has cystic fibrosis really means FIBROID CYSTS. Birth control pills for prevention then makes sense.

See Oscar Fish's answer! He is my husband, and has Cystic fibrosis, and actually knows what he's talking about!!!

Answer 4

There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. There are treatments, but no cure.

Answer 5

my daughter suffers from cystic fibrosis she has to stay on the birth control pill to avoid cyst forming in her ovaries. She was diagnosed at age 13 and will have it for the rest of her life but the birth control regulates and stops cyst from forming good luck
