@sunny1971 Hello, not only do we have members who have been diagnosed with Bronchiectasis, there are so many of us that we have our own support group!
Find us here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/mac-bronchiectasis/
A good place to start might be this discussion, which contains lots of references:

Bronchiectasis is a lung disorder that is characterized by coughing, excess mucus production and susceptibility to infections. It often occurs after lung infections. Your friend should find a pulmonologist who is experienced in managing bronchiectasis to help minimize further lung damage. He should also discuss whether it is safe for him to continue diving.
You might want to encourage him to join our group.

Thank you, I’ve been doing a lot of research and so has he we’ve been reading up on it he’s pretty healthy, but he still has that lingering mucus. What reread is in the future it make it worse and we understand that and being 71, my question to throw out there is there any kind of alternative health supplement that anyone knows of that he could get help with ?believe it or not he takes garlic every night with a mixture and it’s totally helped his lungs 50%
