@lweirdo1 , Nebulizing 7% saline has been a great game changer for those of us with MAC. Here are a couple of papers: See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4850692/, especially tables 2 and 3. Also https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/54/1/1802143.long

Hey Weirdo, Love your oh-so-cool ID. Here’s the thing about the 7% solution.
It seems that 7% is the saline concentration that has a chance of actually “kicking ass.” Weaker sisters apparently do little more than titillate the offender, perhaps emboldening it to return stronger than ever. I’ll standby with you, preparing to be humiliated when someone who actually knows something jumps in here and with a well crafted post, exposes me to be the dilettante that I am. Yikes!
