[Everything doTERRA] MAC lung disease

I have a question that one of the people at work asked me and I
couldn't find anything in my book about. Is there anyone who knows
which oils might benefit some one w/ MAC Lung Disease? Here is some
info she gave me.

Q: What is MAC?
A: "Mycobacterium avium intracellulare" (MAI) or "Mycobacterium avium
Complex" (MAC) is an atypical NON-TB germ (micro-organism). MAC is
related to the tuberculosis germ, but is not contagious and the MAC
microbes live in the environment. It comprises more than one type of
microorganism (both M. avium and M. intracellulare). It causes two
types of lung disease. One type results in multiple nodules in the
lungs and is referred to as "nodular disease". The second type is
associated with cavities in the upper parts of the lung that mimic
tuberculosis. This type of disease is referred to as "upper lobe
cavitary disease".
Q: Why do people get MAC infection?
A: There are no known causes but several factors that contribute to
pulmonary MAC disease. Some documentation includes the relationship of
pulmonary MAC to scoliosis (curvature of the spine), gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD), asthma and chronic bronchitis. There is
evidence that the disease is environmentally acquired meaning that the
MAC germs get into the lungs or body via air, water, or soil. MAC is
also acquired in conjunction with other underlying diseases such as
Cystic Fibrosis, lung issues caused by heavy smoking, excessive
alcohol consumption, and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
