I am trying to see if I can clear MAC by doing Airway Clearance and Dr Daniels is in agreement. I don't have any symptoms of MAC but I do have high colony counts and sometimes I am Smear positive. Do you have any side effects from taking the drugs? I am praying for you that you can remain clear and just be done in 6 months. Do you live in NC? Happy New Year!

I believe about 17% can clear MAC via airway clearance. I was not able to clear my MAC, but I was able to dramatically decrease my colony count from over 200 to below 20, so it can still make a dramatic difference.
