I have a form of cystic fibrosis and have figured out how to get myself well in spite of doctors and most of the world telling me it couldn't be done. My oldest son has the same diagnosis and is even healthier than I am. I was able to do this in part because of the avalanche of information available online even to ordinary schmucks who can't afford pricey subscriptions to some of the medical journals or what not that some folks I know subscribe to. So I think there is quite a lot of amazing information about biology and chemistry available. They are researching tissue regeneration and have done things like had someone regrow a fingertip that had been cut off. I think stuff like that is pretty amazing. Any reason you wouldn't?



Just out of curiosity, what is it you do in addition to doctor's instructions?

And, actually, I haven't seen a doctor in nearly five years. (Possibly politically incorrect to comment on that but it bugs me to imply I am under a doctor's care by not mentioning it. It's simply not accurate.)
