oh real quick.. today there is a paper being published about a new therapy for people suffering from CF, not a cure, but something to make them more comfortable. Researchers in Australia found that a certain group were doing a lot better, and tried to figure out why. The thing they all had in common? They surfed! Apparently 7% hypertonic normal saline solution.. otherwise known as sea water, is really good for dissolving CF mucus when you breath it in an aeresol (sea spray). Anyone who has surfed knows about "the drip," so I guess it makes sense! So now everyone wants it. I say.. everyone should get out there surfing! How awesome is science!?!
ps. I apologize for the insane nerdiness of the last couple posts. At least I am posting finally, right?
