Cystic Fibrosis: Wacky Juice Machines, guides readers through a story about Cystic Fibrosis (CF) that answers many questions about this complex condition, including: What is it? How do you get it? What does it do? How do you treat it? The story uses an analogy that compares your body to a juice machine and is written in easy to understand language with vibrant illustration to ensure it is comprehensive while being fun, comforting, and hopeful. It includes a glossary of common words you'll hear doctors use through treatment and a 'Facts' section containing important information. Additional special sections describe common CF symptoms, airway clearance therapies, nutritional facts and tips, and provide a comprehensive list of the doctors and other medical specialists that work with CF patients.
