Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to your question. There have been a number of small studies of herbal combinations to fight TB or MAC, but not insufficient detail to suggest any particular one ought to be used. There are also some ongoing studies, mostly in mice & rats, of herbs, microphages and other emerging therapies.
So, are there any herbs you could use? Maybe...if I were in your situation, I would consult with formally educated practitioner of Oriental Medicine. Although their diagnostic process is very different to what you are used to, some are willing to work with Western medicine in a complementary role.
I have seen both traditonalists and those who are more open to dual treatments, and find myself more comfortable with the dual approach. I share my current diagnosis, all health conditions, and a list of all medications (Rx and OTC) and supplements I take. Then they do their examination and treatment, and we work together to be sure any herbs are safe with my other meds.
All that said, acupuncture/Oriental medicine has helped me deal with many conditions over the years, but I have had to use Western medicine for joint replacement and to treat my MAC infection.
Have you tried acupuncture and herbal medicine for any condition before?
