MAC: Just how well do nebs work, anyway?

With the emphasis on GERD being a component of Bronchiectasis, the bending in question is bending so far that the esophagus is below the stomach - like bending to pick paper off the floor. Kneeling and leaning forward alleviates that concern. And it is better for the body.
My ID doctor is more concerned about what one might be inhaling from the soil - like more NTM and other pathogens.
That is why he says a conditional "yes" - with a mask.

I think she was talking about problems caused by anatomy because the esophagus is along our backs and the windpipe is in the front. I recall she had recommendations for dealing with this. I think she disagrees with your doctor about soil being the issue but if you have a chance watch it and hear what she has to say. I may be remembering wrong.
