Will give 10 points for best answer.?

Is there any technology or vaccinations for Cystic Fiberosis? If so what are they?
Answer:
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease - it involves a defect in the CFTR gene locus. There is no "vaccination" against it as it is not the result of a viral infection. The treatment is mostly for the symptoms of CF (e.g. lung problems, infection due to excess mucus, etc.); there is nothing, at present, resembling a cure. Probably this will not exist until there is some sort of gene therapy to correct the disease systemically. This is many years off, probably at least three decades.
You can do a search on the web for technology and vaccinations, but you should also consider a holistic approach. I have a friend who is an MD who knows all about how eating an organic vegan raw diet can help the body fight off diseases. Here's his site: www.ecopolitan.com
unfortunately, no, we do not have a vaccine for CF.
