Last year (2022) I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis and with MAC. I was extremely reluctant to begin the popularly recommended Big 3 antibiotic regimen because having practiced Yoga for about 50 years and a (mostly) healthy lifestyle proponent for many years, I did not want to go down the drug path. After researching extensively talking to several doctors I trusted, I was convinced that I must do the Big 3 or face sure destruction of my lungs and very sad old age. After one false start with complications for a few weeks, I resumed the Big 3 only three weeks ago. I'm taking probiotics, multiple vitamins, walking a fast mile 2 or 3 times a week, eating voraciously, but also losing weight - and muscle scarily. From a about 124 lbs. to now 115, I don't know what to do. But in my research I've found some promising studies into Kampo medicine's effectiveness in MAC. Has anyone else had experience or knowledge of this?
