The facebook group Lung Matters is about exactly this. I don't go there anymore because the leader is bonkers, but it contains good information and many stories of bronchies living well with a rigorous protocol of nebbing saline and airway clearance, without antibiotics, steroids, or other drugs. There's also some kooky (mis)information and occasional dangerous advice mixed in, so take with a grain (or vial) of salt. Overall it's worth checking out.

Note that Lung Matters is known to ban anyone who challenges their world view. Without explanation or discussion. To me that is a RED FLAG and leads me to question everything they publish or promote.

Yes, I have been one of the "lucky ones" who has managed five years without a MAC reinfection. But I will NEVER endorse any Web site that says there is only one way to accomplish this.

AND there are definitely people who need to take antibiotics to manage MAC.

That is all I have to say on this matter.
