Scoop, do you use NAC? I have often heard of people using it and for some it seems to help them. I may try it in the very near future. I will try the different methods also, along with the two vials in one session. I know that will add significant time to the airway clearance but I know it will be worth it. What I’m trying to find out though does the term “colonization of bacteria” actually come before MAC or Pseudomonas.

I have Abscessus and I was told by NJH Lab that colonization is like a chocolate chip cookie that has many chips or a few. You definitely want a smaller amount and my NJH doctors told me since my colony count is low ranging 4-12 they don't treat unless I am sick. They said under 50 don't treat and anything above depending on your current condition (coughing, high colony count, etc) they will treat. I hope this helps with the colony count.

I've restarted NAC after being quite ill in December. It can't hurt, I figure. I buy the Life Extension brand after having taken Jarrow for a few years. Jarrow discontinued but they may have it again. The FDA banned it for a time due to mis-use for treating overdoses to Tylenol.
