This is my personal experience with my granddaughter, Scarlett Rose T.

Scarlett was born with Cystic Fibrosis which is a genetic illness that results in chronic inflammation and scarring throughout the pancreas, lungs, and digestive system. It also leaves her highly susceptible to lung infection due to thick sticky mucus in the lungs and airways which harbours bacteria and other pathogens. Her pancreas was also damaged before birth which meant she could not digest or absorb nutrients from food.

Before the mid 1900’s children born with cf had a life expectancy of less than one year. With the discovery of pancreatic enzymes assisting digestion that was extended to maybe 8 years of age due to the lungs becoming ravaged by infections and scarring. Only through stronger and stronger antibiotics was that age lifted to 20 or maybe 30, but it almost always required multiple lung transplants to achieve this. Recent breakthrough drugs have been developed which provide relief for some of the main types of cf mutations, however these are extremely expensive, have a long list of side effects and are not available to a large percentage of the world’s population.

At one month old , Scarlett still weighed less that her birth weight and was extremely malnourished. She was at 0 percentile for weight and length. By 3 months of age, she had contracted multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas Aeruginosa in her lungs, most likely from her time in hospital. After 6 months of oral, IV and inhaled antibiotics including Tobramycin, Bactrim, and other powerful drugs, her lung infection was getting worse.

In desperation we began to search for non-clinical options that might help the drugs work better. At 9 months of age, we began to supplement her diet with naturally sourced dietary supplements, and we immediately saw an improvement. In fact, after two weeks we saw that the antibiotics were finally starting to work against her infection. Her mucus had become thin and runny instead of thick and elastic. Her coughing soon subsided, and we saw that she was growing well. Scarlett was soon over the 100th percentile for weight and height, which is amazing for a child with cystic fibrosis as they are often underweight and small in stature.

At 2 years of age, Scarlett became the first child in the world to take the new complex dietary formulation that is now called Korvena (originally called Indrepta). It was designed to support natural clearance and reduction of mucus, reduce internal inflammation through powerful anti-inflammatory ingredients, and support the liver’s natural function of removing toxins from the body.

While Korvena did not make her immune to infection, she did become extremely resilient and would quickly bounce back in health and weight if she did get an illness. Despite contracting Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus in her lungs over the years, she was able to conquer them each time and bounce back to good health again.

Upon turning 8 years old she was prescribed the new cf drug called Trikafta. Her cf clinic was happy to provide Scarlett with these supplements alongside her prescription drugs (even when she was in hospital), and she has been thriving.

Scarlett is now 9 years old, has a lung function of 108%, and she is above average in height and weight. She tests negative to all pulmonary pathogens. Although she does have limited scarring in her lungs from when she was a small baby, this has not progressed as can be seen by her impressive lung function.

We personally attribute her sustained health and vitality to the support and nutrition that her body has been receiving through these natural supplements since she was a baby. Thank you Korvena!
