Great info and thank you for sharing! I also looked into the NYU study about 7% saline for MAC but had already started a bronchial hygiene regimen with 3%. If anyone has not yet started saline nebulizer then they would be eligible. I wish I would have known about it earlier. I’m in one study at Mayo about predicting outcomes of those with MAC but it’s nothing related to treatment.

The study I found about the 7% saline was from European Medical Journal. I’d definitely be interested if there was another study here in the US.

You're welcome. I emailed the online contact and she sent me a link to a site that will have the study results. She said the site is currently outdated and they will be updating soon, so I'll check back periodically. I added the pdf below.
