Hi, Salli, I'm copying this from where I originally posted it on the Stories board:
GSH is not the only way we help our children. Our kitchen looks like a health food store's supplement section. Even with the usual supplementation, levels of D, E, and K, are inadequate, so we use additional doses of these vitamins. We use DHA, MSM, alpha-lipoic acid, boron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, curcumin, NAC, Co Q-10, folic acid, acidophilus, and a few other things with our children on a daily basis. And now we are also using oral arginine. (We use a lot of the GSH-Curc Caps by Theranaturals; www.theranaturals.com) We use enzymes, of course, though a smaller dose than what would be considered usual, because their weight and stools are doing well on the smaller dose. They are routinely cultured, so we keep on top of their bacterial status, and we also check their liver enzymes and do an OGTT test annually. We keep up with the latest medical literature on CF so that when something promising comes along, we can jump on it for our children.
