Hi @katemn and all
Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you about the vinegar/acetic acid concentration to kill mac, but here is the link : http://mbio.asm.org/content/5/2/e00013-14.full
It is very interesting as NTM is again more difficult to kill.

@heathert .. Heather, this is just GREAT information! Now Girlfriend .. my memory serves me that you found a reliable resource to purchase Acetic acid - did you get 5%, 10% .. what strength did you get based on your research as necessary? AND will you PLEASE share EXACTLY how you are using it .. AND for what! Sorry .. but what a nice thing to have for my Trusty File Cabinet. Heather, take your time but we as a Group would really appreciate it! Again, thank you for the link and Hugs to you! Katherine

@heathert  Interesting read Heather, thank you for
posting. Wouldn't it be great if we just rinse our lungs in
vinegar??
 

@katemn , I purchased 80% food grade acetic acid/vinegar, from a eco chem place, the guy I spoke to was a biochemist I think,I mix with water to get 10%. It can be used for any cleaning ie soaking shower heads, loos, benches etc. Heather

Yes @windwalker I have also thought of that too. wondered if we could inhale it in nebuliser some day. Might suggest it to my doc.
