7% saline has made my life doable with Bronchiectasis (diagnosed 1997) and MAC (diagnosed 2008). I have been nebulizing the saline twice a day for 5 years. It clears my lungs enough to give me a reasonable voice (though I can no longer sing) and be reasonably free of coughing throughout the day and night. I was on the big 3 for 2.5 years with no success and considerable damage to my GI tract. I do have cavities that so far have not shown signs of going away, and I did have a serious flare-up after a bad cold last spring that required hospitalization, but despite those things, I still say the saline has been my most effective maintenance treatment so far. I'm religious about sticking to the twice a day regimen. Without it, the congestion really interferes with my activities. I'm now also seeing a holistic practitioner who is treating me with Chinese herbs. I'm eager for my next CT scan to see if the herbs are effective. I hope you find a treatment that works for you!
