Wrong. Trump is not President anymore. No need to lie about medicine anymore.
The article references “zinc sulfate”. I don’t know anything.
-Acetyl Cysteine
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) is a metabolite of the sulfur-containing amino acid, Cysteine. Cysteine is found in high protein foods, N-Acetyl Cysteine is not. N-Acetyl Cysteine is produced within the human body. Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, one of the body’s most important natural antioxidants and detoxifiers. N-Acetyl-Cysteine is the acetylated form of L-Cysteine.
N-Acetyl Cysteine increases Glutathione Levels
N-Acetyl Cysteine is rapidly metabolized to intracellular glutathione. Glutathione acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. Glutathione also detoxifies chemicals into less harmful compounds. N-Acetyl Cysteine also protects the body from acetaminophen toxicity and is used in hospitals for patients with acetaminophen poisoning. It has also been shown to be effective at treating liver failure from other causes as well.
N-Acetyl Cysteine Chelates Heavy Metals
Heavy metals like lead, mercury and arsenic are detoxified and removed from the body by N-Acetyl Cysteine . It also increases the excretion of zinc and other essential minerals when taken over an extended period. It is therefore necessary to supplement zinc, copper and other trace minerals when taking N-Acetyl Cysteine.
N-Acetyl Cysteine and the Immune System
Glutathione is known to aid in the transport of nutrients to lymphocytes and phagocytes, two major classes of immune cells, and to protect cell membranes. While purified glutathione is available as a dietary supplement, absorption is low, and N-Acetyl Cysteine is thought to be a better method of boosting cellular glutathione levels. N-Acetyl Cysteine is being investigated as a treatment for AIDS.
N-Acetyl Cysteine Breaks up Mucus
N-Acetyl Cysteine cleaves disulfide bonds by converting them to two sulfhydryl groups. This action results in the breakup of mucoproteins in lung mucus, reducing their chain lengths and thinning the mucus, improving conditions such as bronchitis and flu. Double-blind research has found that N-Acetyl Cysteine supplements improved symptoms and prevented recurrences in people with chronic bronchitis. N-Acetyl Cysteine at a dosage of 1,200 mg per day helps to prevent Influenza infection, reduces the symptoms of existing Influenza infection and reduces the duration of Influenza infections.
N-Acetyl Cysteine and Cancer
N-Acetyl CysteineN-Acetyl Cysteine has been shown to reduce the proliferation of certain cells lining the colon and may reduce the risk of colon cancer in people with recurrent polyps in the colon. Its action as an antioxidant and a glutathione precursor may also contribute to a protective effect against cancer.
N-Acetyl Cysteine Cautions (SHOULD BE TAKEN WITH C)
When taking N-acetyl cysteine it is recommended that two to three times as much vitamin C be taken at the same time. Failure to do so may result in more harm than good from taking this product because of the prolonged presence of the oxidized form of L-Cysteine. The vitamin C also helps keep the glutathione that is produced from the Cysteine in its reduced form so that it can continue acting as an antioxidant.
N-Acetyl Cysteine Dosage
Typical dosage recommendations are in the range of 250-1500mg of NAC daily for the majority of therapeutic benefits.
N-Acetyl Cysteine Safety
NAC is considered safe for consumption in its therapeutic dosage ranges. Individual reactions may vary and anyone experiencing adverse symptoms while taking N-Acetyl Cysteine should discontinue it.
Where to Get N-Acetyl Cysteine
For a high quality professional source of N-Acetyl Cysteine and other Health and Life Extension Supplements:
N-Acetyl Cysteine supplements from Vitamin Research Products
This is craziness. Why are we following medical advice from a small Chinese religious cult?
Dr. Risch has been excellent.
Nice post. Too bad the left has bad mouthed this treatment for COVID.
Your references 1-29 don’t mean much since they’re not links like in the article.
Now that Trump is gone they can save lives.
Ditto. And you won't catch me wearing an American burka. Burkas don't work according to the CDC: CDC Admits: No Conclusive Evidence Cloth Masks Work Against COVID 10/29/20
I included the 29 citations of the article. The article itself cites dozens of studies.
In the interests of a full debate, these are informative. If you disagree, please bring counterarguments and facts.
Ad hominem attacks that fail to address the content don’t initially recommend anyone pay attention to YOU.
See also #27 with regard to my opinion of the source, previously precisely disclosed.
How do you feel about live organ harvesting without anesthetic?
Concentration Camps?
Slave Labor?
Just want to make sure you’re not a CCP plant ....
No trouble at all.
A proven ionophore to press the zinc into the cells is also EGCG found in green tea extract.
I have both. Quercetin agrees with my stomach better. YMMV.
I DO want it legalized.
I have done ample research.
We will have to agree to disagree on this.
You do not want to get into an argument with me on this I can assure you.
“New research”? Plenty of old research already proved it.
Ping; may be of interest to your ping list. Which I’d like to be on, BTW.
If you think Epoch Times unreliable as a news source, who do you read and trust? The Bezos Post? NY Times?
They’re pretty solid in their reporting in my estimation.
Regarding HCQ use, many doctors have been using it going back to last Spring. Heck, India was using it widely back then.
Trump is always right.
Not only did Fauci reduce commentary on HCQ, after a brief mention he completely stopped making any reference at all to the ESSENTIAL VIRUS KILLER ZINC. He was probably aware of the cc sent to President Trump and Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows, on March 23, 2020, by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. In this letter addressed to the medical community, Dr. Z explained the function of the 3 components and said that Zinc was the virus killer and very early treatment was essential. On May 14, 2020, NIH put out the following Press Release reported this: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-begins-clinical-trial-hydroxychloroquine-azithromycin-treat-covid-19
It was reported 2000 people were being enrolled to take part in this study. This quote is significant: “We urgently need a safe and effective treatment for COVID-19. Repurposing existing drugs is an attractive option because these medications have undergone extensive testing, allowing them to move quickly into clinical trials and accelerating their potential approval for COVID-19 treatment,” said NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, M.D. “Although there is anecdotal evidence that hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin may benefit people with COVID-19, we need solid data from a large randomized, controlled clinical trial to determine whether this experimental treatment is safe and can improve clinical outcomes.”
Significantly, this search for “solid data” did NOT include the ESSENTIAL VIRUS KILLER ZINC, and was only begun after a person had tested positive for the virus. Dr. Z urged starting treatment as soon as symptoms were observed. By the time the virus was tested, many more viruses had been produced in the body. So why did Dr. Fauci and NIH risk the lives of 2000 people with a study designed to fail?
“On the basis of as yet unpublished data, remdesivir “will be the standard of care” for patients with COVID-19, Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), said during a press conference at the White House April 29.
The randomized, placebo-controlled international trial (on Remdesivir) was sponsored by NIAID, which is part of the National Institutes of Health, and enrolled 1,063 patients. It began on Feb. 21. https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/panel-financial-disclosure/ shows that 7 of 60 listed scientists received “research support” from Gilead Sciences. While Dr. Fauci is not listed as receiving any direct financial support from Gilead Sciences, imagine how his bosses at NIH would react if, as the “face” of NIH, he suddenly began NOT supporting the research that NIH was heavily involved in?
NIAID conducts and supports research — at NIH, throughout the United States, and worldwide — to study the causes of infectious and immune-mediated diseases, and to develop better means of preventing, diagnosing and treating these illnesses. News releases, fact sheets and other NIAID-related materials are available on the NIAID website.
About the National Institutes of Health (NIH): NIH, the nation’s medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases. For more information about NIH and its programs, visit www.nih.gov.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782946/ When this article was first published (2006) the biomedical field was already changing rapidly and no doubt has continued to do so. The Remdesivir study shown above was called a Phase 2b study.
Here are described funds typically distributed in 2005: Phase I grant support, also known as a feasibility study, is normally funded at $100,000 for 6 months (SBIR) or $100,000 for 12 months (STTR). Phase II support is available to Phase I recipients and provides two-year awards of $750,000 (SBIR) or $500,000 (STTR). To foster the best quality applicants, the NIH SBIR program provides prospective applicants with a wealth of information, including advice documents4, free workshops and conferences5, and easy access to the program officials who can answer more in-depth questions.
Whether Fauci recieved direct payment or not, he certainly must have had pressure/incentive to do all he could to improve the NIH/Gilead Sciences relationship.
