Alternative treatments

Posted by siliai @siliai, Apr 4, 2019

I was wondering if anyone has done alternative treatments for Bronchiectasis. I am dealing with pseudomonas and have read Stephen Buhner’s herbal antibiotics book. Has anyone tried the protocols he recommends for treating lung infections?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Hi Irenea8,
Have you heard about a research study on the phages? This drug will target the pseudo specifically and get rid of it from the lungs. I hope the study is successful.
Best!

Funny you should ask Ling. I have been looking into Phages lately. I know about the Phage study for Pseudo. A friend of mine is going to participate in one of the study locations. There is a location about 4 hours from me but I do not qualify with their criteria. My BMI is too low. Also it would be very hard on me to make the repeated trips. The Phages do not necessarily get rid of Pseudo in all cases. Or you might have to repeat treatment for some period of time to clear it. But it is very hopeful. They are studying the use of Phages alone and in conjunction with inhaled antibiotics. I wish we had access to them NOW! These things take so long to get approved.

Sorry to hear that you are not able to participate. Hope the study result will be possitive and hope the Phages gets approved sooner.
