    Allergy congestion, coughing followed by snotty and runny nose, I take one NAC and one Quercetine and bam, 45 minutes later, no more congestion for almost a half day. Maybe a bad pollen day, windy, 8 hours duration. If I am outside, windy, cold, I add a pill of Bromelain that Quercetine invariably comes with, but another big dose pill helps and I am good to go.

    If you don’t know where that information came from, why would you just accept it as true? Do your own research. And be careful about anything that is suspect, i.e. Any company associated with Big Pharma, companies profiting large sums of money, or universities receiving grants and huge donations from Governments and big corporations. There’s a lot of misinformation going on.

    He understates the benefits of glutathione. I remember an article on ageing using worms, out of Italy. I cannot find it again. They said it doubled the life of worms and as we age, glutathione production wanes and that everyone over 50 should be taking NAC. Also it is like a super detoxifier in the cell. When lacking the cell function is reduced, along with lifespan. Another therapy is glutathione IV with hyperbaric oxygen, improving brain function, memory etc. But NAC and exercise will do the same. Also with all the excessive glutamine we get in our diets from MSG or various forms, NAC may be good at mopping that up. It's toxic to the brain in large amounts (glutamic acid). Dr Russell Blaylock goes into this a lot.

    I've been taking it on and off (mostly on) for several years, about 1000 mg a day. Very well tolerated, I can take on an empty stomach, or after a meal, it makes no difference. It has dramatically improved my allergy symptoms, which were chronic throat clearing, nasal "stuffiness", and lingering dry cough whenever I had a cold. I think it also boosts my energy level just a bit, hard to tell, because I might be taking too low a dose for me. Whenever I feel run down or on the verge of a cold, also around the change of seasons, I take 1000 mg NAC daily, and it helps me a great deal.

    . I am hypothyroid and I became very sensitive to foaming agents in shampoos, toothpastes and fluoride. The latter would make my gums swell up and my face would become puffy. However, since taking NAC I can now use toothpaste with fluoride in. That being said, I still need to use a SLS free shampoo or I need up with contact dermatitis. Very strange! I believe the glycine and NAC have helped me sleep throughout the night, I now get 4 hours sleep without waking up rather than waking up every hour on the hour.

In North America almost every water supply has it. see if you can find a documentary about Flouride. I remember watching one years ago and when Flouride was put in the water at a city water treatment plant the workers had to wear a hazmat suit and when it hit the concrete it began to dissolve it.
