So it can be used as a treatment for COVID-19, but it also is a treatment for pot addiction:

A New Treatment for Pot Addiction [U.S. Government Moves to Ban it]

The government doesn't want anything out there that will shut down the marijuana gravy train.

Frankincense (Boswellia Seratta) used successfully for ulcerative digestive disorders for thousands of years is similar to how big pharma weakened the use of red rice yeast for cholesterol.

Pi$$es me off when you can’t use a natural supplement that big pharma decides to synthesize and then capture as their own.

Yeah, it wasn't until this study of 10 super critical Covid 19 patients got out that the FDA decided they would like to ban it. 8 out of 10 patients were discharged out of the hospital in about one week by the use of NAC. Here is the linked video to the study.

I’ve been taking NAC for over a year. It helps my arthritis, along with its effects on COVID. I had COVID early this spring, and it was a very mild case. I credit NAC and my other supplements for helping me fight it. It’s very frustrating to have difficulty sourcing it now.

looks like jarrow has chickened out and no longer makes their time-released NAC Sustain ... i always take that gram for gram with acetaminophen as a safety measure ... the phase I metabolite of acetaminophen is extremely toxic to the liver and will accumulate if too much is taken because Phase I metabolism occurs much quicker than Phase II, which is limited by the availability of glutathione ... glutathione supply can be increased by taking NAC along with acetaminophen because NAC is converted by the body in glutathione ... in fact, IV NAC is used in ERs to try to counter acetaminophen overdose ...
