Ntmir webinaires are recorded so you will he able to see it later on their YouTube channel.

Dr. Falkinham covered the usual topics - shower heads, safe water, etc in his talk. Unfortunately because the questions came in ahead of his talk he covered them all again during the q and a.

I did learn that my evaporative humidifier is safe so I will set it up soon. Otherwise I already knew pretty much everything he said. I've watched him before and belong to several groups but I'm sure newbies learned a lot ftom this webinair.

I tuned in late so I missed most of the talk given by Dr. Marras who is a medical doctor. (Dr. Falkinham is a PhD scientist and an expert on mycro organisms). What I did hear Dr Marras say was that in two studies, one at Tyler and one in South Korea, the antibiotics we take "cure" 70 -80% (didn't catch the exact numbers) which, while not great, is better than some numbers I have heard before. "Cure" means having negative sputum samples for a year after treatment has stopped

He may have talked about recurrence earlier but that's all I was able to hear of his part of the presentation.

I hope others who tuned in will share what they learned.
