    In the video I talk about my friend with Tourettes experiencing symptoms from certain triggers. Many have asked what I was referring to. Although everyone is different, his triggers were food dyes (red 40 was the worst and it's in so many products), annatto (another food dye, supposedly natural, and it's in most cheeses that are orange), MSG (which is in many chips and garbage food like Doritos), dairy, gluten, and mercury (dental fillings, albacore tuna) and fluoride (in toothpaste or dental cleanings).

    Hope you don’t mind me responding. I’m not a doctor, just a mom who’s been through the wringer with OCD. I would start with a low dose since he’s 10. Most of the low-dose capsules are 600mg but Thorne (a great brand) makes one that’s 500mg. We take that first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and then don’t let him eat for at least 30 minutes. It’s important to take it on an empty stomach or it won’t be absorbed (although it can cause nausea, but we’ve found that nauseous feeling usually only lasts a few minutes). If we decide to add a 2nd dose in the afternoon, do it at least 3 hours after lunch and at least 30 minutes before dinner. I strongly suggest finding a good ND (naturopathic doctor) to work with as I’ve found regular doctors just don’t know anything about NAC or really anything about OCD. The other question I would ask is, did his OCD symptoms come on abruptly, perhaps following an illness. If that is the case, it might not be OCD but actually PANDAS. Look into it. I wish any of the multitude of doctors we saw with my son would have known about it because we could have saved my son so much anguish if we had known. Makes me sick to think about it. PANDAS is basically where the immune system kinda goes haywire following a strep infection and starts attacking the brain. If it’s caught early enough, treatment can be as simple as penicillin. Turkey Tail mushroom, an immune modulator can also really help. In our case, we ended up doing a tonsillectomy because it turned out strep was just hanging out in my son’s tonsils for YEARS. Like 10 years. His symptoms would wax and wane and we were told sometimes that happens with OCD. Turns out it was this underlying strep infection that his immune system would fight back, then it would ramp up, and on and on. I would also recommend Tamara Chansky’s book “How to Free Your Child from OCD” for great tips on using Cognitive Behavior Therapy. And there’s a great work book that helped my son sooooooo much called “What to Do When Your Brain Gets Stuck” by Dawn Huebner. Sending you love and prayers from a mom who knows how hard it is. 💞 There’s hope. My son is 18 now and he’s doing well.

    I've been using NAC for about a 1 1/2 years now. I'm a Covid pneumonia survivor with 5 weeks in a coma on a vent and 6 1/2 on feeding tubes. I use it for the lung expansion benefits and couple it with Serrapeptase and MK7 to eat the scar tissue. I had to learn to walk, talk, eat and breathe all over again. I've fought to get my lungs and strength back and today I hit a new milestone...3 miles of walking on the school track!!

    It's WAY more powerful than just being a support for the liver. So when a person goes to the emergency room for heavy metals poisoning (lead, iron, aluminum, mercury) they're given Dimercaprol (can be toxic!), which has the same function as NAC. It's brought into your cells, unlike Glutathione, and binds to heavy metals, acetaminophen, binds to mercury, and DRAWS IT OUT by very powerful sulfur bonds, allowing your body to excrete those harmful metals and acetaminophen. Glutathione only gets into the blood stream, and therefore has very limited function in heavy metals/acetaminophen removal. NAC is the super-champ and has practically no toxicity unlike Dimercaprol.

    I was in the med center in Omaha for a week and almost died from covid. I was sick for a total of 3 weeks and the last week of it, pneumonia jumped in too. They gave me remdesivir (4 bags) and it killed everything. And almost me too. Afterwards i was barely alive and in a weakened state. i could barely walk or even pick up my yeti coffee cup. 2 years went buy and i still hadn't recovered. No grip strength, not even enough stamina to walk to the mail box. The doctors i had been seeing said there was nothing they could do. I had joined a covid long haul group filled with hundreds of thousands of people. Apparently this was pretty common. Everyone was frantically looking for a fix to our problem. Someone had said they tried NMN and NAC and it actually worked. I jumped on it pretty quickly and overnighted a bottle of each. 1000mg each. After 2 weeks i felt way better. A moth after i started, i was even lifting weights and riding my bike around the lake. Whatever it is, it works.

Due to being a fomer smoker of cigs for over 45 years, the protocol is a CT Scan once a year to monitor this. I am going to focus on taking NAC regularly each day for a few months and see what happens. I also learned of Serrapeptase - an enzyme that is form the Silk Worm that supposdedly is reported to "eat up" fibrin (scar tissue) in the Body.

    I have been an asthmatic my entire life and about 8 years ago was diagnosed with COPD. My doctor prescribed ADVAIR, which is a corticosteroid. I used to have to use a rescue inhaler (Albuterol) 2 to 3 times a week and especially during the spring, when the pollen levels are up. I sing and over the course of time I noticed something had changed in my voice. It was after a little research, I found out that corticosteroids negatively affect the vocal chords. I decided that given the fact that the ADVAIR didn't seem to help much, I quit it last June and immediately started looking for an alternative. That is when I learned about NAC. I take the exact same brand and dose (600mg) you show here and remarkably, after about an hour after the first dose, I noticed my chest beginning to clear. Over the course of the next few days, it continued to improve until I could breathe more clearly than I can ever recall. I can sing for hours, never run out of breath, hit motes that were impossible before and without any negative effects on my vocal chords. Here's the amazing thing. I have not had so much as one puff off the rescue inhaler since last June, so I'm approaching a year without any type of inhaler and all I'm taking is 600mg of NAC each morning. When I told my doctor what I had done, she looked skeptical until she listened to my breathing and I think she was even amazed. It may not work like this for everyone, but NAC has literally changed my life for the better.

    I was an active alcoholic for 15 years and my liver enzymes were notably elevated to the point my Dr. said I needed to make life changes. Things got worse before they got better. I took NAC every day (along with eliminating most processed foods and a lot of carbs), my enzymes were back to healthy levels in less than a year of sobriety. Whether or not the NAC contributing or not, I can't say for certain, but the Dr. was surprised at how quickly my body healed giving where I was at previously. So I'm included to say that at worst, it contributed to the healing process as was my change in diet/healthy living. Side note, I take ibuprofen and if you don't abuse it, your kidney isn't going to get destroyed simply because an occasional dose. Just don't take 6 a day.

    Willow is an herbal replacement for ibuprofen if you want to try it. It takes longer to kick in, but it lasts longer, and helps to reduce inflammation naturally so you need it less often. I can't take it on an empty stomach due to years of ibuprofen abuse myself, but one capsule a month is all I need. 😊🌸🤙

They want me to take orlissa & the insurance company keeps playing games & won't cover the medicine though it's medically needed, and on top of that the side effects are SO TERRIBLE!! I had NAC and stopped taking it after 2 weeks or so because I had EXTREME body odor I couldn't hide. The smell of the stuff was coming out of my pores! It's also like it triggered horrible reflux too & I had chest pains and a heaviness though, it wasnt a burning sensation, but a lot of acid burps. I used the powder though & drank it with water. I wonder if the pills metabolize differently? Do you notice body odor with NAC? Or are you taking something to combat that? Even after showering, I could literally still smell it on my armpits and in my sweat. Normally I wouldn't care because I'm to myself, but not hot weather is around the corner, and I'm in close proximity to people because I go to physical therapy lol.

I took a few days in, when I got COVID - and it only lasted a week).

I don't think we know enough yet about the different kinds of biofilms to know which approach works best for which biofilm, but NAC seems broadly effective, and has been recommended in the research literature for regular usage alongside any antibiotic type treatment, including "resistant" strains.

Backstory: If you have asthma, eczema, or otherwise have a deficiency in filaggrin FLG gene, too much NAC in these people can trigger breathing attacks if there's a histamine reaction due to a lack of histidine production by the body; in such a case look into histidine supplementation if you take NAC.

    Very interesting video. I have alittle story about NAC. I was checking ALT liver enzymes last year and had 77mmol. I got them checked again 6 weeks ago and they were elevated to 166mmol. Now a good range is 10-70 mmol. I lay normally on 40-41mmol. 166 i thought? I don't drink or smoke. I am pretty damn healthy. I took NAC 2 x 800 mg per day for short time and got my ALT tested today and it was 27mmol. Now that is pretty good. Reason I didn't get the elevated liver enzymes were that my Bilrubines were 5 and 8 only. Lowest you should have is 5. Meaning that you don't have liver diseases and such and last time Gamma was checked it was okay also. Now, Have heard that Tudca is much better than Nac. Its very used by bodybuilders to clean the liver from oral steroids. Its also interesting your views on Glutamate. Typical Neuron up-regulator. You find it beneficiary to take GABA to counter the effets of overactive glutamate? If I take GABA. I get much more active while being tired for some reason. In regards to Tylenol. I hear that NAC will only help poisoning if its administered within 6 hours or some from the Tylenol dosage or it can actually damage more. Sorry the way I WRITE. I am not stupid really. I researched alot. I am just from Denmark and its late here. We are both unto something here. Thanks. I will sub you. I like the way you present things. Very likable:) Not fake. Just straight to the point with many small insights.

    Hi, just an important note about Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol overdose - if somebody overdoses on this drug they MUST be given INTRAVENOUS NAC within a specific time frame. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO TAKE ORAL NAC. If you try taking oral NAC to reverse this it could prove fatal. It will NOT work. Death by Tylenol overdose is slow and makes your organs shut down, it can take months. Don't be tempted to self-administer NAC for this purpose.

I scored 27 UL (April 2023) Just 6 weeks after the 166 UL score. ALT or Alanintransaminase as we call it also has to be seen in correlation to Bilrubiner - Gamma-glutamyl Transferase P - Basisk fosfatase. Meaning high Fosfate and Gamma could be liver disease, whereas Fosfate for itself, can indicate something from the bones and not hepatic caused. Lets say you have high ALT but the Bilrubines are low. Its most likely a sign everything is okay with the liver. I have extreme low Bilrubines while exhibiting high ALT. Now breaking down of muscle and protein will also cause elevation in ALT. I do not drink or smoke. Hope this explains a bit better? English is not my first go to always. I mix things up and numbers are sometimes different in values. So a score of 27 UL is very decent considering everything below 70 UL is good and under 30 is excellent. Compared to the amount of pills I daily consume and my age its very good indeed with 27. My wife is scoring 16 UL but she is also 10 years younger and half my size (120 pounds). Not consuming all this medicine I like to take? or have to take. Depending on free will and such. I am a big muscular Viking man, so would assume scoring atleast 40+ would be normal and much above that for my age (44) and size. So I am very happy with that low values. My gamma is normal last time and bilirubin is low while Fosfate is 2/3 of normal range. I will recommend taking Tudca also for good ALT and forget about milk thistle. Its very harsh for the stomach and intestines. Greetings/Denmark

    It can be pointed out that glutathione has three amino acid precursors, cysteine, glycine, and glutamine. Glutamine is found in sufficiency in the body and diet, so isn't rate limiting However, glycine (while technically non-essential) is neither sufficiently synthesized by the human body nor sufficiently present in the diet, and seems to be more rate limiting than cysteine in glutathione production. You can get more info from the recent book The Collagen Cure by DiNicolantonio and Land.
