Do you use enzymes? Have you found any that you've had success with? What kind of success?
Do you take the Big 3 or anything else?
Thanks,
Ellen

Ellen - The problem is delivering the enzymes specifically to the lungs - as @rits said, Arikayce is an effort to accomplish it.
Most enzymes as formulated cannot necessarily make it through the digestive and circulatory systems into the lungs. Research is underway - cystic fibrosis (CF) researchers are always working on it - with increased acknowledgement of the issue of biofilm in plumbing as a serious health issue, I hope this will accelerate.

Hi Ellen, my wife is the one afflicted with MAI. I have just been helping to learn more.
No, she doesn't use enzymes, but I have read scientific papers on that.
