Hi.....I am new to this site....I do read all the posts but have never participated....I was diagnosed with MAC and Bronchiectasis four years ago... I took the Big 3 for a year . Then a year ago my FL pulmonologist did a Broncoscopy and found that MAC had returned....He did not put me on the antibiotics again.....but albuterol twice a day....In July I had blood in my mucus and coughing more than I ever had....Ended up going to the Cleveland Clinic in August....My doctor there put me on the 7% saline solution twice a day along with albuterol...Have a say in over a week my mucus was clear and I wasn't coughing or clearing my throat as before......Hope you give it a try....It worked for me...

Hi @lorifilipek ...In response to your question regarding NAC, I have had no negative responses to the supplement, only good results. Also, I have found the 7% saline solution to be very helpful. I had my GP call in a script to our local medical pharmacy (they carry the nebulizing units) as well as the saline...Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution, USP 7% .... 4 ml twice a day). The other thing I take that I have really found helpful is an herb, Astragalus. It is an adaptogenic herb...It works on so many levels and is beneficial to the lungs in clearing congestion but the big advantage I found is that I have not gotten sick since taking it for several years now. It boosts the immune system. Good luck on your path with these bugs and Best Wishes!! Kate
