Hi Arlo
This is a late response but I wanted to chime in...this forum has been SO helpful to me with the wonderful, knowledgeable folks like Sue and others. I have MAC(untreated), Aspergillus and bronchiectasis.
I discovered the saline here and it has been a huge game changer for me. Since using it at least a year I have had a CT and that showed actual improvement and "resolved" areas. Unexpected by all the docs. I also think it helps keep you healthy and less likely to catch infections. Add the lavage to that!! same, same.......sometimes I even do extra sessions if around a crowd or someone who seemed like they were sick. 😎 My pharmacy always has some "coupon" and it is very inexpensive. I do the 7% 2X daily, cough, clear mucus but not much random coughing during the day, none at night. Good luck and blessings!

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for your post. I have been using 7% saline which I took upon myself to purchase from Amazon, thanks to a kind soul sharing this info with our group. I really feel it is helping me a lot. I nebulize with the Aerobika 2x per day and then do 20 minutes with my Hillrom compression vest. Every time I neb, I cough up a good amount of mucus. I am now able to sleep through the night with very little coughing. I can see a marked difference since using the 7%. Good luck to you as well!
