spencersok - After 8 months coughing violently, and being diagnosed with MAC, my complementary medicine doctor Dr. Elen Apthomas at the Medical Sanctuary in Ashmore, Queensland, Australia, initially gave me celery juice 300 mis 30 minutes before food in the morning, a B12 injection, a supplement called SAMe, a Bio zinc formulation, and a high powered probiotic. I stopped coughing quite quickly - 3 to 7 days, even though I am taking the big 3 drugs for 18 months. I take these preparations on the days I am not taking the antibiotics - 4 days per week. I think you could shop around for a complementary medicine doctor. Dr. Andrew Weil in the USA would fall into that category. So far after 3 months taking antibiotics, other than needing an afternoon snooze, I have had no side effects. The supplements my doctor gives me are mostly only available to doctors. My lung specialist, does not give these supplements a lot of credit, however he does tag her in my regular blood tests. Every three months Dr. Elen changes what I am taking - with the goal of improving my immune system. I am paying Dr. Elen around $400 every three months - cheaper than a funeral. 🤪😆🧐
