Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The idea of being completely cleaned out of mucus like that sounds wonderful, i haven't felt like i could breath perfectly since i was like, a teenager
I would be seriously tempted to try this stuff as someone who doesn't suffer from CF just to see what it would be like.
That being said, I'm sure the side effects for people who do not have an illness are probably pretty horrific. I have not done any research, but usually very powerful drugs have very powerful side effects, especially for people who won't see any substantial benefit for the drug.
It targets a very specific genetic mutation, so it does nothing for people who don't have that mutation (including other people with CF).
