I ,too, have MAC.....early stage. It was found by accident through a CT scan that picked up the bottom of my lungs. Question? has anyone found articles about "How to Kill Mycobacteria?"
it states: We found that Acetic Acid (vinegar) efficiently kills M tuberculosis after 30 min of exposure to a 6% acetic acid solution. The activity is not due to pH alone, and propionic acid also appears to be bactericidal. It would be so much easier to breath in a solution of Apple Cider Vinegar to kill MAC without killing all the rest of my body with the Big 3. Thanks, MacinPA

Acetic acid is categorized as a potentially caustic substance. So too is propionic acid. A hazard or irritant to eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Please do not consider inhaling it. A comparison would be bleach- a good disinfectant, but not something to put into your lungs.
Have you considered using hypertonic saline instead? You can search here to learn about it.
