I'm sorry too! There is no standard treatment for M. Abscessus that's macrolide resistant. I was only on antibiotics for 3 weeks and fortunately NJH told me I could go off them and do "watchful wait" approach.
I had an herbal consult at a fairly well-known acupuncture clinic: Eastern Medicine and Herbal Clinic in Scottsdale. The doctor wanted me to take powders or possibly the actual herbs (to make tea) but I have a hard time taking them that way, so we are currently trying the brand; SOL Nutrion. I am taking 4 capsules of the GOGO energy twice per day (8 total) and the same amount of Healthy Liver Capsules. He told me if there's no improvement when after my 3 month follow up at NJH, that he wants me to try the herbs. I would definitely talk to your doctor about taking any supplement if on the "Big 3". I'm not on any antibiotics at this time, so I'm fine with taking them. As I said, my energy is up but I can't tell you if it's the herbs that's doing that. I will let you know after my August 20th/21st follow up at NJH if there's any improvement on CT.
