    Yes.PLEASE!! I am also unsure if it helped me to detox and that's why.i felt sick or if it was too much . I tried it and give it break and then went back to it at a lower dose but the same.pain,lethargy, sleeplessness returned. I'm currently having blood tests done and I am a COPD patient as well as asthma. But I certainly dont to want to use it.and feel I must stick through the.misery to get better IF IN FACT ITS HARMING ME AND USELESS. Many thanks❤

    @@retro000 Your comments were interesting in that I did not have CoVid but a severe reaction to my second vaccine. 9 hours after I arose from sleep and took 4 steps and fell in a complete muscle failure. I could not even prop myself up on my elbows. I was dragged to bed. 4 hours. later I decided to get up thinking it had been an anomaly and would not happen again. But it did. Was treated by neurologists at prestigious UCSF who told me that such a reaction was known by them. Took me a while to return to normal. It seemed to me that this panel of doctors were operating on a “hush hush” basis. You get my implication. What a sorry way for the medical field to operate but that was the case then.

    Btw, NAC should NOT be taken long term without its cofactors : Molybdenum Selenium Zinc Vit B6 NAC doses typically avbl in 500mg or above by most vendors are without research. Cysteine was neve meant to be consumed in mega doses relative to other aminos... , but only in nominal amounts. I do NOT take NAC , but focus on activating transsulfuration pathway & intracellular endogenous synthesis of cysteine from methionine. Doing so also gives benefits of methionine, and helps balance transulfuration/Cysteine pathway with SAMe by balancing SAM/SAH ratios (folate, b12, glycine cofactors). You also need to balance Cysteine with Glycine to aid the detox process in the liver & kidneys.

No point in asking my Dr these things!
