I so appreciate all the thoughtful input. I am committed to my current practices of ACT, breathing, exercise, nebbing, GERD management, etc. My goal mostly is to look at restorative tools to promote lung tissue health & overall balance of body systems. The inflammation that exists with our condition necessitates some attention & I was most interested in nebbing glutathione. It appears to have been extremely beneficial for firefighters exposed to toxins. But, again, thank you for your candid responses. Very helpful to remind myself that, if there was a holy grail, it would be communicated about freely by us all as this community is clearly one of generous spirit.

i have nebulized Glutathione in the past. I am just not sure if it was helpful or not. The taste and smell if off putting. I have not used it for some time now and may try it again but it was never clearly helpful. I do find taking NAC by mouth really thins the mucus but it seems to make me more tired than usual and it upsets my colon if I were to take it on a regular schedule.

You're welcome Chris. The topic of nebbing glutathione comes up regularly here. During my many months of heavy mucus production, I used NAC capsules (N Acetyl Cysteine is converted by the body to glutathione) and believe it helped thin my mucus. My pulmonologist and I were wary of introducing "one more substance" directly to my unhappy, reactive lungs. If I were to consider it again, I would be looking for more studies to support it - there is a lot of research going on all over the world, and some excellent studies being done in China and Europe. If you want to search, I suggest using "scholar.google.com" and the keywords study, glutathione and bronchiectasis.
All that said, your original question was about Dr Carrie Daenell. Let me just say that in this era of medical professional scarcity, I am extremely wary of any docto who maintains a Website to advertise their srevices. Most of the doc I know are overwhelmed with patients.
