NTMir just released this video by Dr Kevin Winthrop, on the benefits of nebulizing Hypertonic saline for patients with NTM including MAC and other bacteria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNMGH8PTwRI

Thanks! That was a great video — I was interested in him saying that he recommended for his stable MAC patients to only nebulize once a day, but to then vigorously exercise in the afternoon as their second airway cleanse.
Aerobic exercise DOES open the airways and brings up sputum, so I am going to try that instead of nebbing twice a day and see if it works

@poodledoc Thanks for sharing that video with us. I do not use a device after nebulizing as it never seemed to help in the past but after viewing I will give it another shot. I am able to bring up sputum with just the hypertonic saline. I guess the more productive, the better. Also, he inspires to do more aerobic exercise. I liked his come from.....maybe because he is just one laid-back dude.
Best wishes for good health in the coming year.
