Researches have found that human growth horomones may be able to help in treatmen and in cure for CF. Reports have shown that human growth horomones can help increase weight and height for a patient with CF. By increasing height and weight lung function and bone strength can help improve the conditon of CF victims. Many families of people with CF hope this could be the cure. But having the growth horomone treatment can increase blood sugar and cause diabetes.
I think, after reading this article, that human growth horomon trearment seems to be a logical way of curing CF. With CF, patients suffer from air way blockage. If the airways can be streatched by adding height or weight to the patient, the function of the lungs would improve greatly. The strengthening of the bones would make the patient an all around stronger person and make the disease easier to handle. I hope that after appropriate testing, the growth horomones prove to be a straight cure for CF.
