> Because the entire world believes people with CF do not get well. It really depends on what you mean. If you mean that the genetic defect(s) causing CF resolved, then that basically cannot be true. If you mean that you have genetically confirmed CF but the progressive nature of the disease was halted due to some novel therapy, then that would be a case report worthy of publication in a high impact factor journal.

Halted and reversed. Of course the genetic defect cannot be removed. But since it is progressive, no, it is not merely genetic expression. Hair color is mostly genetic expression and in most people does not vary that much, until they go grey. A progressive condition is a combination of genes and environmental factors, something most people seem to have difficulty with. It gets chalked up mostly to "genes" as a means to insist the progression cannot be halted. Unfortunately, no, no publication is interested.
