Their latest power move is trying to ban a popular supplement called N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). I’ve been recommending it to my patients for decades. You see, NAC is a highly effective precursor to glutathione, your body’s strongest antioxidant. Glutathione is found in every cell in your body and is a powerful weapon against oxidative stress, inflammation, and free radical damage to cells and tissues – especially in your lungs. But now, in the latest attempt to limit your health freedom, the Food and Drug Administration plans to ban all over-the-counter sales. In other words, NAC is such a powerful natural healer that the FDA, under pressure from their friends at Big Pharma, has decided that it can’t possibly be a dietary supplement. Instead, it must be declared a drug, so pharmaceutical companies can make even more money. This FDA overreach is the latest attack on your health freedom. It strips you of your right to have access to supplements of your choice and deprives you of easy access to a proven, affordable, and hugely beneficial health aid. So why is this happening now? Just follow the money. Pharmaceutical companies are aware of studies that show NAC is an effective, and affordable way to treat Covid. And Big Pharma stands to make millions if they can market NAC as a Covid-fighting drug. To date, 17 pharmaceutical companies are investigating NAC, in both supplement and drug form, as a treatment for Covid. A number of studies show that NAC is a highly effective natural weapon against Covid – both as a treatment and prevention. Thanks to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating properties, clinical research has revealed NAC’s ability to fight the coronavirus – especially among seniors and those with compromised immunity. - One study demonstrated how NAC’s powerful antiviral properties dramatically slow down Covid’s high replication rate.1 - Another study found that NAC can boost immune response to the coronavirus by increasing both the number and the strength of your body’s lymphocyte defender cells.2 - Additional research reveals that NAC reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are released early on in a viral infection.3 Coronaviruses often migrate to sites of inflammation in the lungs, so reducing this inflammation helps to reduce the more severe symptoms. In severe cases, the production of cytokines leads to a “cytokine storm” response. This is when the immune system overreacts to the virus, resulting in the hyper-inflammation of organs, such as the lungs and kidneys. Often, it’s this cytokine storm that leads to death, rather than the virus itself. NAC’s benefits go far beyond Covid I’ve recommended it to patients at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine for years. Studies show that supplementing with NAC can... - Reduce lung deterioration, fight inflammation, and loosen mucus in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients4 - Boost brain health and improve oxidative damage linked to Alzheimer’s. It can slow down – and in animal studies, even reverse – memory loss5,6 - Detox your liver and kidneys from environmental toxins7 - Increase longevity by protecting mitochondria from free-radical damage8 - Protect against hearing loss – and in some cases, reverse it9 - Stabilize blood sugar and decrease type 2 diabetes risk10 - Reduce heart attack risk by preventing oxidative damage to heart tissue and increasing nitric oxide production11 - Improve immune function and restore natural killer cells12 Supplement while you still can My recommendation is that you purchase NAC while it’s still available. Store it – unopened – in a cool, dry area. Take 600 mg to 1,000 mg daily, in divided doses on an empty stomach. Some people say NAC disturbs sleep. If you find this to be true, take it first thing in the morning. If you can no longer find NAC, I recommend replenishing your glutathione levels through an intravenous (IV) infusion. IV therapy delivers glutathione directly into your bloodstream. This allows it to bypass your digestive system for maximum absorption. At the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, we add glutathione to our IV “Myers cocktail,” which also contains a mix of vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, and a B-vitamin complex. It’s specially designed to boost your immune system and restore energy levels. If you are interested in the immune-boosting power of glutathione through IV therapy, please call my staff at 561-784-7852.
