My courses and content are based on my 20 years of experience helping thousands of people a year (from infants to the elderly) to reverse and prevent autoimmune disease in a natural way. I never use biologics or immunosuppressants because they cause more autoimmune disease.

Great question, and great answer! Now I know my sudden GFR dip down to 89 and some other newly “wonky” levels can be fixed with the NAC I’ve just started taking after my second COVID infection in a month! I’ll double my 600mg dose and get retested in a few months. I cannot thank you enough! So happy YT got its suggested video right this time! 😅 -New sub.

My eGFR is 99. I drink a lot of water.

Thank you for a simple clear concise explanation with recommendations to do. Appreciated 😊

[MangoOasis]

Really appreciate the exact ranges given, thank you!

For making glutothiane you need yup N.A.Cysteine, Glycine amino acid and glutamine with vitamin E

[kenshey]

Why not simply supp amino acids. Glycine in collagen. And all those amino acids for other paths like tyrosine and phenylalanine connection to dopamine. Add in some NAC… boom. Let the body build what it needs where it needs it.
Love to hear your feedback via reply or a new video

What is the N- in the Acetilcistein? Thank you😊

[chadknox]

Some say nac isnt as good at this if you have mold

[jmseipp]

What about GlyNac, combining Glycine and NAC? We’re hearing quite a lot about GlyNac these days. GlyNAC they say will restore your Glutathione to youthful levels within weeks they claim.

Thanks for this. I've heard / read about it as anti-oxidant for inflammation, but didn't see the direct connection to kidneys, so that's 2-in-1.
I also read that Glutathione is made in the body from Glycine, Glutamic Acid and NAC. Does this mean we should supplement with all 3? Or, are some things in abundance (e.g. sodium) while some are insufficient (e.g. potassium).

[Buffast]

Thanks. What is The difference between NMN and NAC, and which is the better option to fight inflammation?

[mrjorgedominguez]

NAC is not a food supplement; it's a drug design for short term usage. There is no data for long term consumption.

Any cell with a nucleus must maintain a balance between oxidation and reduction (redox), one of the functions of glutathione is to be an intracellular antioxidant. The proponents of NAC ignore the fact that not knowing how much antioxidant action is required, most probably NAC end up being a PRO-oxidant!!, which is equally BAD, i.e., not achieving a balance but tilting the balance in the opposite direction...
The natural mechanism for the production of glutathione is to provide any cell with the precursors of glutathione so the cell decides how much glutathione to synthesize. The precursors are: glycine, glutamate, and cysteine. Cysteine must be in the form of CYSTINE which is a "dysulfide" amino acid containing two cysteine molecules connected by their sulfur atoms. These natural precursors are available in any mammalian (mother's) milk. This milk should be UNPASTEURIZED, otherwise the dysulfide bond is broken.

What about the multiple studies that show NAC can feed the growth of certain cancers? Why is this constantly overlooked???
