watch this on youtube: Real Cure by Dr. Joel Wallach - Part 1 of 8

CF is caused by a simple mineraldeficciency during pregnancy and isnt genetical at all. Your doctors claim that its not cureable because they dont know any better. Doctors arent researchers. A doctor (much like a soldier) is trained to act a certain way. He recognises symptoms and diagnoses them then follows the treatment procedures he was taught

CF'ers should get off gluten and start taking high doses of multivitamines and EFA

My names Chris Arendt, and I'm 20 years old.

I've had Cystic Fibrosis since I was born.

The one thing i would like to say to all the other CFers out there is to stay strong, don't give up and push yourself, make being happy your number one goal.

Most important. Don't let it hold you back, It didn't hit me until I was 18 years old and then it became a struggle from day to day. But just keep your head up. Everything's going to be okay.
