cystic fibrosis

[Guest guest]

hi everyone!

 

i am new on the list. to introduce myself, i am a student of oriental

medicine at samra university in los angeles. i am still relatively new to the

field, however, as i have only begun my studies in september.

 

i have a question concerning cystic fibrosis. a friend of mine has had CF

since childhood, and so far (now about 27 years old), has been beating the

odds all his life by leading a very active and relatively healthy life. his

doctors have recently told him that he has contracted an infection that could

change all of this in a few short years. unfortunately, it seems that western

medicine has given him all it has to offer, and now in order to extend his

life or at least minimize any pain/discomfort that is expected in his future,

he needs some alternative options. does anyone know if acupuncture can treat

CF with any degree of success? can it help him beat this infection and

lengthen his life? what about herbs? ANY information at all would be most

helpful to me.

 

thanks in advance,

christy
