You said "Mullien tea and apple cider vinegar kills MAC" - I'm sure there are several hundred people here who would be excited to hear that.
But, on Mayo Connect we operate on evidence based medicine, so the skeptic in me asks. "Why haven't the experts at Mayo, National Jewish Health, or any other research organization around the world discovered this?"

I know mullein tea has been demonstrated to be helpful for clearing mucus. And I know apple cider vinegar has some disinfectant properties, but I have never heard that this combination kills mycobacteria. Can you point us to any research studies that support that treatment?
