SEARCH Search Site: Search Archives: HealingWell Conditions Cystic Fibrosis Library Article What is Cystic Fibrosis Every year, 1,000 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are born in the United States. One in 3,000 Caucasian babies have the disorder, making CF one of the most common lethal genetic diseases in Caucasians. Overall, there are 30,000 Americans with CF, and an estimated 8 million people carry one copy of the defective gene that causes the disease. These carriers do not have symptoms of CF, because a person must inherit two defective gene copies-one from each parent-to develop the disease. However, each child of two CF carriers has a one in four chance of being born with CF. Genetic testing is now available to identify couples at risk for having children with CF. Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis CF affects tissues that produce mucus secretions, such as the airway, the gastrointestinal tract, the ducts of the pancreas, the bile ducts of the liver and the male urogenital tract. Normal mucus forms a gel-like barrier that plays an important role in protecting the cells lining the inside surfaces of these tissues. In the lung, mucus also transports dust and other particles out of the airway and helps to prevent infection. CF alters the chemical properties of mucus; instead of protecting tissues from harm, the abnormal mucus obstructs the ducts and airways, causing tissue damage.

It can have many symptoms, affecting different parts of the body, particularly the lungs and digestive system. CF is the most common inherited disease in white people, affecting about 1 in every 2,500 children born. It is much more rare in people of African or Asian descent. About one in five babies with CF are diagnosed at birth, when their gut becomes blocked by extra thick meconium (the black tar-like bowel contents that all babies pass soon after birth). This condition may need surgery. Just over half of people with CF are diagnosed as babies because they are not growing or putting on weight as they should. This is because the pancreas is not producing chemicals (enzymes) which pass into the gut as food leaves the stomach. Without these enzymes, the fat in food cannot be properly digested. In children who are affected, the fat passes straight through the gut. The child does not benefit from the energy from the fat. Since the stools contain an excess of fat, they are oily and very smelly. CF is a "multi-system" disease, meaning that it affects many body organs. However, most of the symptoms are to do with the lungs and the gut.

Fish Oils And Emphysema/cystic Fibrosis
Summaries of the latest research concerning fish oils and emphysema and cystic fibrosis.
http://www.oilofpisces.com/emphysema.html

Extractions: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. The idea that fish and fish oils may protect against lung disease developed from early studies of the dietary habits of Greenland Eskimos. Dr. D.F. Horrobin hypothesized that the high content of omega-3 fatty acids in the Eskimo diet is at least partially responsible for the low prevalence of lung disease in this population group. This makes biological sense inasmuch as omega-3 fatty acids (notably from fish and fish oils) are known to inhibit the synthesis of the inflammatory eicosanoids involved in lung diseases. Dr. Schwartz concludes that there is a good case for fish and fish oils being protective against the development of chronic lung diseases, but that more research is needed to establish conclusive proof of benefits. NEW YORK, NY. Seriously ill cystic fibrosis (CF) patients cannot absorb fats and other nutrients properly and therefore often need infusions of essential fatty acids. These infusions are most often based on linoleic acid as many CF patients have been found to have a deficiency of this omega-6 fatty acid. There is now substantial evidence that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils can suppress inflammatory processes such as those involved in CF.
On The Edge - May 30, 1999
A tribute to Nikki, who died as a result of cystic fibrosis on May 25, 1999.
http://www.chron.com/content/interactive/voyager/edge/99/05/30/

Extractions: On the Edge archive H eaven is an even better place this week than it was last week, with the addition of a special new angel. Marisa Nicole "Nikki" Turrentine-Hejl, my beloved stepdaughter, ended her fight with cystic fibrosis early Tuesday morning. Her mother and I and other family members were at her bedside as she took her final breath. Nikki was special to her family, and she was special to the Virtual Voyager family. She was one of our earliest voyagers when she and her mother, my dear wife Melissa, took us along with them to Australia in A Voyage Through Life . She also joined us a couple of years ago when Virtual Voyager went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. All her family and friends, quite naturally, are sad beyond words. But in the midst of our despair, Nikki gave us many gifts, and I'd like to share a few of those with you. F irst, Nikki never lost her sense of humor. She fought this horrible disease for 22 years, and she knew the score. She didn't want to die, but by Monday morning, she knew the end was near. Carolyn, a friend and nurse who had taken care of Nikki since she was diagnosed at 5 months old, came to the room at Texas Children's Hospital and stood beside Nikki's bed for a long time as Nikki drifted in and out of consciousness. Many doctors and nurses were there with the friends and family. During one of her lucid periods, she looked up at Carolyn and said, "Fix it." Carolyn assured her everyone was doing all they knew how to do. Nikki looked up at her again and said, "Fix it, or I'm taking you with me." And this room full of people who had been so grim broke into laughter.

Extractions: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that most commonly affects breathing and digestion. Advances in medical treatment continue to improve the outlook for affected children and adults. However, there is no cure. Most affected individuals survive to about age 30, though some die in childhood and others live to age 40 or beyond. The abnormal gene that causes CF was discovered in 1989. This discovery led to the development of tests that can help determine whether or not couples carry an abnormal gene that can cause CF in their children. Testing usually is offered to couples with a family history of this disease, though now health care providers also are offering this test to couples without a family history of CF who are planning pregnancy or who are already pregnant. Couples will be better able to decide whether they want to have the carrier test if they understand the medical problems that CF can cause and what the tests can and cannot tell them.
