Guest guest Posted December 26, 2002 Report Share Posted December 26, 2002 Chuck, CF is a genetic disorder. The gene which controls mucus production is missing. So his whole body over produces mucus and it fills the lungs and interferes with the digestive process. Eventually the organs become so badly damaged that they begin to fail. Call Doc on this one, I know he can help you. My cousin died of this when she was 13 yeard old.

I believe that cystic fibrosis is more damp/ phlegm related then dry. In western terms most signs and symptoms have mucus involved. In CF patients the mucus is very thick and accumulates in the intestines and lungs. The result is malnutrition, poor growth, frequent respiratory infections, breathing difficulties, and eventually permanent lung damage. Since it is an inherited disease infants or young children should be tested for CF if they have persistent diarrhea, bulky foul-smelling and greasy stools, frequent wheezing or pneumonia, a chronic cough with thick mucus, salty-tasting skin, or poor growth. Any information the group has pertaining to clinical experience or just they're thoughts would be very much appreciated..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I believe there is a two pronged attack with cystic firosis. There is a dampness and at the same time there is a coldness. This duality in the disease is what makes it difficult to treat. Yin and Yang are imbalanced and there is a need to treat both the coldness and the moistness. Somewhere the meridians are joined together and are being disruptive. I think that a treatment program that includes treatment of the envelope of the heart and the conception vessel on the front of the torso would lead to a better ability to diagnose and treat the malady. Liver bleeding and tonification would be a start as well. I am not that familiar witht the disease, but dryness is definitley present. alot of tricky diseases will have the yin yang imbalance that manifests iyself in different stages. If could be that the moistness is there to treat the cold/dry and only the moistness is detectable. treating or reccomending treatment on the 'net is a bit like the blind men and the elephant. Each one sees a different thing. But all are somewhat correct.

Thickened, rubbery mucus results in blockage and infection throughout the respiratory tract. The pancreatic and bile ducts are blocked, leading to severe digestive problems. Sweat and other secretions contain increased salt. So, there is a lot of stagnation and phlegm throughout the system. Because of poor absorbtion in the digestive tract, spleen qi can be suppressed; so it might appear to be colder for that reason. Or hotter if the mucus suppresses immune function and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. Treating the cause---a genetic muation that makes a membrane protein misfold---is impossible. But you can work on the accompaning symptoms and signs but phelgm is the root. <<< I think that a treatment program that includes treatment of the envelope of the heart and the conception vessel on the front of the torso would lead to a better ability to diagnose and treat the malady. >>> They should be useful since the mucus can block the bile and pancreatic ducts, causing severe problems in these areas. <<< Liver bleeding and tonification would be a start as well.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hi Lobelia is the herb for the lung and from what I have read to get all that old junk out of your lung do a Lobelia purge, keep on taking it till you throw up and that is suppose to help pull all the old junk off the lining of the lungs. Plus DRINK WATER!!!! They say the lungs are severally dehydrated. If this is you with this problem do the incurables program on this site you cant go wrong you will heal. I had a dear friend that had that disease and she went for the lung transplant. Just knowing her she never drank water and she was EXTREMELY constipated, the body can not function when you have those factors working against you. Just try this you will never turn back it is the most enlightening exciting experience when healing is at your fingertips, you will not believe the power you have to heal.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Talk to her body directly...You can do that with Quantum Biofeedback. Have you tried having a health scan with a QuantumBiofeedback Practitioner? It's worth the time. It can tell you what is going on energetically with her and offer those suggestions necessary. Also help to keep her balanced and in better health. Build her immune system in the process. Parasites and fungus come to mind when you talk about reoccuring infections and cough. She doesn't have to have candida to have a fungus. Jenny Kernan Quantum Biofeedback Therapist --- matesdoc <mellissa wrote: > > I am at my wits end with my poor five year old > daughter.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 *Cystic Fibrosis from what I understand is a Disease of Excess Mucous in the Lungs. I feel a lot of empathy for children w/this disease. There is a book called " The Arnold Erehot Mucousless Diet Healing System; which is a Diet for people who want to decrease Mucous. What I could do is contact you privately with information and ideas. Anne in Conn.
