@windwalker @sueinmn @boomerexpert @heathert @alleycatkate @thumperguy et al, thought I would I share this article that my functional medicine doctor sent me. It refers to COPD but it's still always promising to hear anything positive about a new possible treatment for the lungs.

@nannette ...Wow! That is very interesting. I like that it is also naturally produced in the body. It will be good to follow this new treatment. Thanks for the heads up. Kate

Thanks Nannette @nannette -- this looks helpful for our bronchiectasis and lung damage, at least symptomatically. And it looks like it could possibly stabilise that damage so it doesn't get worse quickly. A lot of people need here that help. (I wish Hyaluronan also treated the NTM bacteria and other bacteria many of us have. Unfortunately it only treats the lung damage caused or exacerbated by these bacteria, but not really the bacteria themselves).
