Homeopathic Remedies For Cystic Fibrosis

This disease is connected with glands especially those which secrete mucus, resulting in inefficiency of the pancreas, lungs, etc. Thick mucus produced in the body keeps the pancreas from providing digestive enzymes and the lungs from providing sufficient oxygen. The disease attacks youngsters and young adults. No reliable cure is available in any system of medicine. Homeopathic remedies have proved useful as palliatives, guided by symptoms.

It is a hereditary disease which usually ends in death. A deficiency in a person’s genetic makeup causes a thick build-up of mucus in the body, affecting the pancreas, intestines and lungs. Lungs become weighty with the fluid causing major breathing problems. About one in 2500 infants born in Canada, later show this disease. The disease involves exocrine glands especially those secreting mucus and sweat. Replacement of patient’s lungs with healthy donated lungs surgically has saved some lives. If it is situated in lungs, excessive sticky mucus clogs the airway and its build-up causes damage to the lung tissue providing an ideal breeding ground for infections. Its presence in the digestive tract blocks absorption of nutrients. If it is in the pancreas, it blocks the pancreatic ducts preventing pancreatic enzymes from reaching the intestines to digest food. It causes diabetes also. Replacement of patient’s lungs with healthy donated lungs surgically has saved some lives.

With homeopathic treatment, the life span of such patients can, perhaps, be prolonged.
