Acetylcysteine

So I think, you know, really addressing that first might be a really helpful step.

Another option just to throw into the mix here is something called augmented NAC.

So ordinary NAC, which stands for N-acetylcysteine, NAC.

This is a well-established medicine and supplement and it helps the body make glutathione.

And that's one of our main antioxidants.

And the theory is that it can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which have been implicated in those who have long COVID.

So there is some early evidence for ordinary NAC being helpful.

That's something that could be tried and it's been trialed and used for a long, long time quite safely.

Why? Because once they're passing their visual test and we assume that they're out of exposure, there can still be some residual internal exposure that we know some mycotoxins are not only lipid soluble, but can kind of live in the body for a while.

And I think that's when we start looking at more kind of detox agents like N-acetylcysteine, glutathione, charcoal, chlorella, clay.

And you can get pretty fancy and targeted with respect to what mycotoxins are still residual and then how do we fully extract them from the system.

This is, of course, one of the big dividing points between the SERS world and the Neil Nathan world.

Week four onwards, four after breakfast and four after dinner.

you'll also see that supplement contains N-acetylcysteine.

And N-acetylcysteine also interferes with microbial adhesion and biofilm formation.

So they're usually the supplements that I go to for biofilm disruption.

Often people are on N-acetylcysteine for glutathione support or as a mucolytic.

So that's great.

They can stay on that.

Now, interestingly, for the kind of like behavioral activation part of reward seeking behavior, If you modulate glutamate, that can have some benefit.

So we actually had a journal club last week where we were studying, they looked at N-acetylcysteine or NAC for specifically modulation of alcohol use disorder.

And it had a A similar effect where it reduced binge drinking episodes, but didn't necessarily reduce the amount of alcohol intake.

So I don't know, just thinking about that could be a fascinating thing to combine with this or to look more into glutamate effects on things like binge eating disorder.

and movement should be the foundation and supplements should just be that, a supplement, a support tool.

So depending on your clinical picture, your lab results, your metabolic picture, some things that you might consider adding in are omega-3 fatty acids, N-acetylcysteine or NAC, Curcumin, vitamin D with K, magnesium, and omega-3s.

It can actually be particularly useful when your triglycerides are elevated.

And there are actual studied clinical dosing recommendations for omega-3s specifically for triglyceride levels.

You want to know why? The blood clotting aspect of COVID is cured with N-acetylcysteine, which is a supplement over the counter, 2,000 milligrams.

That's been published for years.

NAC, right?

NAC.

NAC at 2,000 milligrams is a cure for the blood clotting of COVID and vaccine injuries.

So is licorice root extract.

And so is cinnamon bark.
