Interesting case study.

Do the glutathione precursors (N-acetyl-cysteine or NAC) have any prophylactic effect?

Interesting that this was just a couple days ago on MedCram.

Dr. Seuheult mentioned this study that is recruiting 86 participants:

A Study of N-acetylcysteine in Patients With COVID-19 Infection

Brief Summary

The study researchers think that a medication called N-acetylcysteine can help fight the COVID-19 virus by boosting a type of cell in your immune system that attacks infections. By helping your immune system fight the virus, the researchers think that the infection will get better, which could allow the patient to be moved out of the critical care unit or go off a ventilator, or prevent them from moving into a critical care unit or going on a ventilator. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved N-acetylcysteine to treat the liver side effects resulting from an overdose of the anti-inflammatory medication Tylenol® (acetaminophen). N-acetylcysteine is also used to loosen the thick mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study is the first to test N-acetylcysteine in people with severe COVID-19 infections.

Yes it is.

Now I have to find who mentioned NAC before this; need to ping them to this thread...

[christie]

I’ve been taking NAC for years. One reason I haven’t been worried about Covid-19.
