Taking NAC 300mg a day empty stomach for detoxing mycotoxin. Getting better after 2 weeks.

[sashaeffer]

During Covid the director of infectious diseases at UNMC(University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha) was on radio show talking about Covid. At the end of the show, he was asked a great question. Since he works with infectious diseases every day what does HE take to help protect him aside from the sanitary environment and physical barriers he wears. He said he takes 3 supplements. Vitamin B3, Zinc and NAC. He didn't mention dosages. While I knew about the first two, I never heard of NAC but could see benefits especially during Covid after doing a lot of research on it. Bought 1st bottle on Amazon, but when I went to buy it again it was no longer offered. Turns out the FDA pressured both Amazon and Ebay to NOT offer it on their site(in US). Many people doing their own research found out that it was also being used as a treatment for Covid(helping the lungs) Amazon complied but Ebay did not, so could still buy it there but it wasn't always available because of demand. My daughter stationed in Japan at the time could still buy it there through Amazon. It was amazing to me that the Government went out of their way to block treatments to help people with Covid. After Covid, NAC can now easily be bought on Amazon and I have been taking recommended daily dose. It also has Selenium which is recommended.

It also wraps around and neutralizes covid Spike proteins. That's what I started using it for.
It also reduces lung inflammation.
I've heard it also helps open constricted airways.

I am taking NAC and dietary liquid iodine to manage chronic issues, endometriosis and cystic ovaries. So far I am feeling better on this regime. I had to deep dive to find alternative/natural treatments to these very common female issues.

[Darklion]

I started using NAC a couple years ago as a "liver protector", just ignorantly and blindly believing in its effectiveness. Older and wiser, i thank you for concisely and comprehensively explaning exactly what it does, i can truly understand everything after going down the metabolic rabbit hole. Thank you for these videos, they're educational and helpful to manny many people.

[sgtaneja]

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.

Started taking NAC 2 months ago.
Reduced my golf handicap by 11 strokes!

[PeteHooper-hj]

What about NAC Ethyl Ester- supposedly 20 x more bioavailable than regular NAC.?

[TheGireesh]

NAC helped me to cure atrophic rhinitis with COQ10

[kishouarima]

Please make a video on neuroinflammmation and how this is related to different type of diseases! And how to deal with it

[denisakona]

I need good sources of information, reliable and very professional sources. My passion for natural medicine is not satisfied properly by many practitioners, who, among the right things, also say wrong things, because they do not have a good training in medical sciences. I would have gladly attended your lectures in the course organized by ISOM in October 2024, but I cannot afford the price of the training. So I will learn from your very valuable videos. I am interested in the interaction of immune-hormonal-nervous and systems, the mixed game of the microbiome, thousands of genes-antigens that activate, hormones, white cells, special type-MAST cells, mucosal cells - mucosal immune system - mucus - mucolytic agents - mucilaginous plants - microbial peptides - lymphatic glands and intestinal patch, etc. I believe I have found the right place here. Thank you Dr. Paul!

[bimmjim]

An hour ago, I took my first NAC pill, 1, 000mg.
Now I have a headache. It's an unusual head ache.

[hugosthoughts]

Great info, but in the future when speaking about a supplement, it would be nice to hear “When NOT take NAC (or some other supplement)” as in possible expected symptoms of the detoxification process. Thanks!

[ContinentsEdge]

Please cover in detail a subject that you once touched on and that is the adverse effect of using NAC for some people who have unusual genetic traits. I believe I am one of these people I urgently need more information and guidance. Please discuss this subject

[teeniequeenie]

[strawberryjam]

Oh, my hangovers are gone after taking nac. I get hangovers after 3 beers, so I guess I needed nac :) I also dont drink often, but when I do now, I dont even notice it the day after :)

[dimitrislaschos]

Good morning I read somewhere recently that nac is very dangerous when there is a cancer in his prime without diagnosis yet. It gives the environment for him to grow fast. The article was a doctor 's. Do you havean opinion about this

[moldyhamsandwich]

Hi Dr Paul can NAC be taken in conjunction with Diltiazem?

[stephensonbenita]

Dr william Li says NAC can break down the lining in the gut if taken on a regular basis? What's your advice on this?

[ShroomSleep]

What's your take on mushrooms 🍄 as part of a treatment ? Muscimol from Muscaria or reishi, turkey tail, etc. They seem to be very promising.
