Some facts
about
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis (or C/F) is one of the most com-
mon serious chronic disorders of Canadian infants
and children.
• ONE IN EVERY 1,000 CHILDREN is born
With Cyitic Fibrbsit,
• C/F claims more victims than Polio ever did at
its pre-vaccine worst.
• C/F hits children in the LUNGS and in the
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. In the lungs, thick gluey
mucus clings to the inner walls reducing the oxy-
gen supply. In the stomach, faulty digestive juices
cannot extract the nutrition from the food
consumed,
• Ten years ago, most C/F children died before
reaching school age. Today, with early diagnosis
and expert treatment, many affected youngsters
stand a good chance of living beyorid their teens.
• Treatment includes: diet supplements; mist
tents; "postural drainage" therapy; breathing
exercises; and specific medications to combat
infection.
• For most families, C/F is a STAGGERING
ECONOMIC DRAIN. The outlay for drugs and
' equipment may run to $2,000 a year,
• The Canadian C/F Foundation has established
18 C/F Centres and Clinics across Canada for treat-
ment, research and teaching.
