0.9% Saline?

@beatrixflower I started with .09%, I think that’s pretty much the %of sodium in our tears and what the Dr will first prescribe. I then went to 3% and eventually to 7%. The 7% can be very irritating at first, so I would suggest a gradual change if you decide. The .09 will help loosen some of the mucus in your lungs to help with clearance but I don’t think it makes the lungs “inhospitable” to any NTM.

Hi Gina,
Thank you for your response. That is helpful to know that it will still have loosen some of the mucus. It sounds like I should get started on it so I can work my way up to the 7%. Thank you!
Warmly,
Darla

ginak, this post sums up the concentration matter very nicely. Don
