Thank you Sue. Yes you are right that 7% saline and airway clearance can at least prevent it from further growth. So far this seems to work for me. I do try to find better ways to get rid of MAC. So far, nebulizing, exercising and a good diet. And trying best to prevent bacteria from getting in, boiling water, masking from dust and dirt particles. Breath in and out positive thoughts.

I was diagnosed 5 years ago with Bonchiectisis/MAC and opted to hold off on the 3 medications. It’s been a journey of ups and downs with alternative options but my health has improved. I have not had positive sputum tests for MAC in the last few years. Sometimes I wonder if the first test was a mistake but looking back I’m glad I continued to ask for sputum tests to see what was happening.
