@rits Yes I found it to be a very good presentation. One thing I really found interesting was that for non-CF bronchiectasis it did not matter much what strength saline you use (0.9%, 3% or 7%) but for NTM infections the 7% was best. Of course some people's lungs can not tolerate the 7% so just use the highest % you can.

He verified what my doctor and the article she sent me say. I cannot tolerate anything except .9% so is there any value in my spending time and and energy inhaling it 2x a day? Any percent will liquefy the stuck sputum to help move it out but only 7% is believed to kill some bacteria.
