    Here is how cystic fibrosis works
    When two people who are carriers have a child that child has a one in four chance that it will get cystic fibrosis
    How is it caused
    There is a gene missing in *most* people with cystic fibrosis called
    phenylalanine 508
    In gene 7
    It can be caused because of other genes but it mostly that one
    And what makes it so dangerous?
    Thick and sticky mucus filled with bacteria blocks the airways
    It can cause
    Pneumonia,gerd,cancers,
    COPD,asthma,diabetes type 1 and 2
    Bronchitis,chronic bronchitis.
    Hope this helped
    This took me 25 minutes to write and fact check
    So I hope you enjoyed the information

    One day he could go out and enjoy his life and the next he was in hospital, not being able to breathe. He became so skinny and looked really ill.

Death has always been a crushing controlling fear of mine and this video gave me a sort of calm about it. I have been close to death many times because of certain health conditions I have but this gives me happier thoughts about death. Dont take life for granted. Live it fully.

We must all try to be better, I pray Allah takes me only when he is completely satisfied with me, and I have become a good person, a person that is able to correct the problems rooted within them in sincere repentance. A person who thanks Allah constantly and is never ungrateful. That is who I want to be.

      Is that your inner Christian coming out?
      Your life has no inherent purpose or meaning; nor does anyone else have either.
      Each person establishes their own purpose (or doesn't).
      When the sun consumes the earth in 2 billion years and the universe suffers a heat-death in a few trillion years... then all life will cease to have had any purpose.
      That's OK.
      We have purpose of our own choosing while we are alive.

    Thanks Travis for this way of looking at death, not as an enemy, but as a kindly neighbour whom we must meet and greet one day regardless. I believe coming into LIFE must have been just as unsettling for our souls and I also think that we didn't need to come into earthly existence, but having chosen to experience LIFE, in whatever circumstances we place ourselves, it is NOT for long even if we STAY for 102 years. So thanks for the reminder that our REAL Home is blissful, so even pain can be felt and endured for what it is, a temporary unpleasant blimp on our temporal journey. Blessings🙏 and thanks again sweet soul.

    This really got me, it's rare to see someone bare their heart,and soul ..to voice their fears and show vulnerability when faced with death. He resonates strength and love..thankyou for your story🥰🤗

    Omg this is so beautiful! I've been battling with serve anxiety and depression from being at the ft. Hood shooting. I fear for my daughter and son every day and I feel helpless and with the recent event that happened in Texas at the elementary school has sent me down a dark road and this message help me pull back out and fight even harder. Thank you for this amazing heart warming message! The universe knew I need to see this.

    Exactly what he describes is what we as Christians mean when we say we experience God. He washes over you and it's this physical unexplainable sensation of complete total peace and when you emerge on the other side of it, you are a completely new person.

      Yeah well he didn’t say jack about god or heaven. He actually implied that religion is irrelevant. But it must be nice to be so blissfully simple-minded as you, I envy you.

      @@mylittlegargoyle822 Huh? I'm sorry but I'm not sure I'm following. I just commented about my personal experience and what others like me can relate to?🤔 I'm not talking about religion here either, nor mentioned whether the video talks about it, I'm simply testifying about my God..
      God bless, though.

    My sister passed away at eight years old. I was a hard struggle for her and our family just getting through each day. I wish I had known how hard it was for her to just fight to live each day. that was fifty four years ago and a day rarely passes I don't think about her.
