Natural remedies or alternative therapies
I completely understandig the feeling of helplessness when western medicine does not provide a great alternative. I also dont see the harm in pursuing a side therapy approved by your care team if that goves you any sort of comfort.but i do worry about medical illiteracy and the harm it can cause.
For anybody that likes the idea of "natural" medicine, please dont endanger your children.
Preferring something "natural" is literal nonsense. Lead is natural, Asbestos is natural.
Please dont prefer something natural because it sounds good in your mind compared to a drug that was created through years of medical research and hard work and was proven by a double blind placebo study, the gold standard for clinical studies. The treatment for cystic fibrosis has come so far, and we owe it to everyone that came before us to continue to push the advancement further. We stand on the shoulders of giants in hopes that the next generation will have a better quality of life.
