Kay strand and Windwalker please phrase the question to take to Workshop at NJH

Hi @tdrell did you get my question? It was about us all getting tested for pseud and other nasties yearly, as it seems we are more likely to get these things.

@heathert Hi Heather. Good suggestion. My doctor always had me do sputem tests every six months, and now annually. (to all) If your own doctors don't line this up for you, you MUST be pro-active and do this for yourselves. Request it and make the appointment.

@tdrell, Hello Terri! My question is: Can they develope a vaccine agaist these mycobacteriums? OR Are they any closer to coming up with a compound that will bust through their biofilm, so that antibiotics will work; plus kill them at their source? If your list isn't too long for you to post, I'd love to know what is on it. I feel like you may have come up with plenty yourself! I am sending you lots of graditude for attending this seminar. -hugs, Terri

Thanks @windwalker, I have not had this suggested by my doctor, will ask her at the next appt.

Dear windwalker,

Does your doctor do broncoscopy every year?

Nicole

@nick52, No, Nicole, I haven't had a bronchoscopy since 2005. Back then; it was done to confirm MAC diagnosis and to see if anything else was going on in my lungs. I know that some doctors like to do the procedure as part of the cure. It is one way to do a cleanse and dislodge mucous plugs.

Dear Windwalker,

Thank you so much for your answer it is deeply appreciated. I just had one and was wondering if it was a procedure done normally.  My lung doctor seem to think it is a way to keep the lung clean and dislodge the mucous and do a lab check to verify what

he finds I think. When I saw him it was before the NAET treatment and I had mucous in my throat and some sputum depending what I was eating. After the treatment I was 80% mucus free and the broncoscopy took care of the rest of the mucus.  I haven’t had mucus

like I had last year.  The clear lungs has help to reduce the mucus and much less sputum.  How long it will last ( its been since sept. 22, ) time will tell. Hope it stays that way.  I will have my results on my next appointment in nov.  Thanks again!

Nick
