Whole house water filtration system to prevent MAC & NTM
MAC & Bronchiectasis | Last Active: 30 minutes ago | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
I have given up on looking for a solution to the water in the house currently using bottled water as mentioned earlier and disinfecting shower head. Why? Because they say this mycobacteria is in the air in dust in everything we do. If we are susceptible to it we can get it from many sources. I feel I can drive myself nuts trying to avoid it so just have to do my best. I might invest on a kitchen top type reverse osmosis machine the cheaper option and wear masks when threatened by other scenarios. I will use the counter top water for washing veges etc too. Keep lungs healthy with exercise and airway clearance techniques! Best of luck to you all.

Considering I understand what you have said above, my thoughts are: Have you had bouts with MAC infection(s) that your doctor(s) said required treatment? How long have you had Bronchiectasis? Have you been on the antibiotics for infections with BE?
I am boiling purified water to drink, however due to being away from my home this week I am not boiling it, hoping it will not prove to have been a negative for me.
I also just wash/rinse in the cold tap water due to all I have read that Dr. Falkingham has said and written. I also mask outside the house and sometimes when others are in my home with me.
Yes, keeping the lungs healthy with exercise and airway clearance techniques makes a big difference. Hope I will always be well enough and physically capable of keeping up with all we need to do.
