I heard Laird Hamilton on the radio today about the research supporting ocean air and surfing for CF patients, and it made me think of you. I think this means you need to move to the beach. BTW I leave near a beach Wink

    Thanks for sharing! I love hearing about this stuff. I remember when that research first came out - some doctors in Australia noticed that their CF patients who went surfing kept commenting on how much better surfing made them feel. So, a few studies were done and it didn't need to go through the typical FDA approval process because it was just salt water, so inhaling Hypertonic Saline suddenly became a new CF treatment. 

    I think that was like 3 or so years ago. I remember my doctor told me "do you want to try this? I think it's a little silly 'surfers in Australia' psssshaw." Then, three months later, he was like "OMG! This stuff is fabulous! It's going to replace Pulmozyne!" (a very expensive drug) I have been doing it since then and it really has made a huge difference in the amount I get sick. I love the stuff.

    That's so awesome! I love that it is so natural too - I wish everything could be treated with such natural holistic methods.

    The PacSun Pipeline to a Cure is actually going to be at a hotel 30 minutes from my house!
