Infection MAC Lung Infection

Prayers from here also. I’ve got zero information about this. But look on YouTube and there is one called new treatment for MAC or something. Sorry, I rolled past it because it’s dated from 5 yrs ago. Yet it may be something for you to consider or be aware of. Anyway, point is, don’t forget about looking for information on YouTube also.
Mycobacteria infections are tough. I'd definitely try colloidal silver, both orally and in a nebulizer. Also work to strengthen your immune system... echinacea, elderflower (the blossom of black elderberry, which is a good immune stimulator)... get sugar and highly processed foods OUT of your diet!
You'll be in my prayers!

Doxycycline was what we used to kill mine (mine likely came from exposure to rat, mouse, other rodent poop).
PRAYERS!!
We started with IV Doxy and progressed after hospital discharge to oral. I wasn't DC'd until my fever broke and my SATs got into the mid-90%s.

Hello ST. Regarding using colloidal silver in the nebulizer, how large should the dose be? If I'm presently using 0.5ML of ipratropium bromide, should I just go half of each and gauge the results? TIA for any thoughts that you have. Your posts are always so informative!!

I’m not ST (by a long shot), however, I would probably not mix the two solutions. I kind of like to know what may be doing what. I would probably do regular neb tx and then the silver in between. Your regular Med may possibly interfere with the silver action. It MAY make it work better. I’ve used both, but not together just because of that possibility. In THEORY you would think the bromide would open up your lungs to begin with and after you’ve opened up the airway, THEN I’d think absorbing the silver might be easier. It depends on molecule size and all that jazz in my mind.
It’s a chemistry question. I’ve seen two types of nebs mixed, but they are usually pretty similar in action. It certainly won’t hurt to mix, but that’s my thought on it.

So, how are you doing with this?
Hope you are all better, now.
Thanks for the response...good point on mixing them together. I'll take your advice and do one then the otherafter a short while. Thanks again. Jax
Yeah, I’d give that a try Jax. I doubt you could go wrong either way, but I think that’s how I would do it. Any report on the rest of what they are doing to you? (Assuming it’s you.)
*Update* Finally took the time to try this out. Since I had no experience with breathing Colloidal, I used one half an eye dropper {of colloidal} with a full measure of ipratropium bromide. Only breathed it for 8 mins just to see what happens. Oh yeah, the colloidal was 500ppm. So I was extra careful. In the end, no real difference was made. I'll keep tweaking the mix just to see how it plays out.
For those that may be interested, I'm dealing with "severe" COPD and emphysema. There is no fix for it only ways to manage it. I'm on O2 most of the time. More to come!!
