CYSTIC FIBROSIS

"He, who knows how to listen, hears wisdom.
He, who does not know how to listen, hears only noise."
Chinese saying.

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems. It is the most common fatal hereditary disease in white children in the United States. It is caused by a person inheriting an abnormal CF gene from each parent. Chloride is prevented from entering or leaving cells that line the lungs, pancreas, sweat glands and small intestines resulting in the thick mucus buildup in these areas.

It is characterized by thick, sticky mucus in the lungs and other organs and increased salt content in sweat. Some parents notice a salty taste in their mouth after kissing their children. The thick, sticky mucus clogs the internal organs. Mucus also blocks the airways into the lungs making it harder to breathe and leading to more infections. Mucus also clogs the pancreatic ducts preventing the enzymes needed to digest fats from reaching the intestines.

Symptoms in babies with CF can include bulky stools, poor weight gain and slow growth due to the low levels of digestive enzymes in the intestines. Older children with CF may have chronic coughs, wheezing or respiratory tract infections. Adults have a tendency to become dehydrated due to excessive loss of salt in their sweat.

Cystic Fibrosis remains incurable and traditional treatment is directed at relieving the discomfort and trying to slow the deterioration of tissue. Intestinal blockages in infants can be removed surgically. Malabsorption can be improved by taking pancreatic enzymes with meals. A high calorie diet with higher than normal amounts of fat is also recommended. You might also include low fat cottage cheese and flaxseed oil to your diet. Details on Dr. Johanna Budwig's flaxseed oil regimen are included in our Starter Kit or you can go to www.budwigflax.com. Some people with CF may require lung transplants.

Our NATURAL & ALTERNATIVE HEALING RESOURCE DIRECTORY provides information on great products and where to buy them that specifically target many of the conditions that affect "modern man" today. Drinking Kombucha on a regular basis also may very well be the most important thing you can do to regain and maintain good health.

American industrialized medicine is focused on treating the symptoms. The Oriental approach is to treat the causes in order to achieve long term relief.

Many people find the idea of drinking tea to relieve Cystic Fibrosis is unbelievable.

This ain't yo mama's tea

Kombucha is an ancient remedy for modern man's ills. It is an Oriental fermented tea remedy that can be traced back to 400 B.C. where it originated in the area we know today as Korea. It is without serious side effects and has been used by Emperors, Czars and even an American President. In the 1980s our President was being treated for Cancer and metastases (spreading of Cancer cells) developed. A culture was brought in from Japan and Kombucha was incorporated into his treatment. He survived and lived well into his nineties.

There are 500 million people world wide using Kombucha. It was introduced to the American public in 1993. Today, over 3,000,000 Americans drink Kombucha on a regular basis.

It is a living tea containing friendly bacteria and beneficial yeasts (not to be confused with the Candida variety). It is very beneficial in nourishing intestinal flora and should relieve many conditions involving the colon. It also contains lactic acid and acetic acid which deter the growth of harmful bacteria.

Kombucha seems to be the biological equivalent of STP gas treatment, carburetor cleaner and radiator flush all rolled into one. It works at the cellular and molecular level pulling toxins out. Glucuronic acid (GA) then binds toxins in the liver which are then eliminated via your urine. Toxins bound by GA cannot be reabsorbed by the intestines or the urinary system. This detoxification and flushing promotes a healthier bladder, liver and pancreas.

Properly fermented tea is also the same pH as the stomach fluids are supposed to be. It therefore helps balance stomach juices so they are not too acidic or too alkaline. Several important acids are in the tea which coupled with balanced pH create a hostile environment for pathogens. If pathogens can't thrive and multiply there is less chance of infections.

Since the tea aids healthy digestion, the nutrients in food and drink are more readily available for the rest of the body to utilize in performing the body's normal functions, hence more energy.

Kombucha sometimes enhances the effectiveness of medications and it is important to keep your health provider informed so dosage can be adjusted accordingly if necessary.

We have a certain responsibility to keep our bodies in good health,
as far as it lies within our power to do so…as a loan from God.

From an Australian Doctor: I have personally been using Kombucha for the last 6 months and now have 50 families taking the tea. The main results so far are: energy increase, weight loss (if overweight), regular bowel movement, moles diminishing in size, good results with sinus and mucus elimination. I used it during the hay fever season and found relief much earlier than usual.

A.M.: I suffered for years from a lot of phlegm in the throat and could never get rid of it. It was particularly bad at bed-time. When I lay down, the phlegm completely blocked my throat and I just couldn't get rid of it. That has improved since I've been drinking Kombucha. It apparently neutralizes it.

Kombucha by itself doesn't cure anything.
It simply nourishes at the cellular level so that your marvelous body can heal itself.

It costs only about $5 a month since you brew the tea yourself. About 1 or 2 hours a month is needed for the brewing and cleanup. It's also simple. If you can bake a Duncan Hines cake then you too can be a Master Brewmeister.

I grew up in Missouri and as Uncle Harry (Truman) would say, the buck stops here. If you are willing to put forth a little effort there is no reason for you to continue to suffer.
