Can there be a way to help doctors find a cure for cystic fibrosis faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Research $: Probably the best way for someone to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis (cf), or any other disease for that matter, is to help raise money for research (basic science, translational, or clinical trials). Encouraging patients with CF to participate in clinical trials can also help. There are a number of national organizations that help raise funds for CF (www.Cff.Org) for example.
