Sharol,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an extensive answer. My son was recently diagnosed, and we are still in the process of educating ourselves about this condition and the treatments. As you said, CF can be incredibly complicated and has a enormous number of variants. So far, my son's variant appears to primarily affect the lungs; the doctors don't think he has digestive, pancreatic, or reproductive problems. Thus, the treatment will largely focus on clearing mucus and reducing inflammation, in order to combat potential lung infections. Thanks again.

My son was recently diagnosed with Atypical Cystic Fibrosis. As a result of this genetic disorder his lungs create mucus which is thicker than normally, and the body has difficulty expelling it, leading to dangerous lung infections. Looking for recommendations for herbal treatments to thin/loosen mucus, reduce inflammation, etc. Thanks.
