Does this mean that using the 3% Hyper-Sal is not sufficient to ward off MAC? I don't have any mucus and don't cough and am not on antibiotics but apparently I have tested positive for MAC in a sample. My doctor has me nebulizing only once a day with 3% and doing ACTs. He doesn't think I need 7%.

For general pulmonologists who do not specialize in bronchiectasis with or without MAC, this seems a typical response that you "don't need 7%". Same happened with me. Finally, I convinced them to let me give 7% a trial. It made a big difference in clearance for me.
