NAC helps.

Hi Everyone!

A study was just published that showed NAC(N-Acetyl-Cysteine) was helpful in lessening the damage done by antibiotics in lyme patients.

It lessened the Oxidative stress that occurs from either antibiotics or from some natural herbs.

I felt this was important because oxidative stress is believed to be part of  the herx response that occurs when antibiotics are destroying the lyme bacteria.

I also want to note,  that I personally take NAC and I feels it helps with my energy level. I ran out of it once and could really tell that I felt worse. My doctor recommended 600mg. twice a day.

Oh, also when I started Artemisia  my doctor said you need to careful and take  some supplements to help this oxidative stress. He suggested Zyflamend .

Hope this helps! Have a good day!

From what I've read NAC is supposed to be good for mycoplasma infections as well - I tried taking it but started having some difficulty breathing and stopped, thinking that might've caused it. Anyone else have side effects with NAC?

Pathogenkiller, this is interesting that you said NAC flu...I have been taking it for about a week now and wondering now if this is causing my crashing fatigue and heart sx's to come out. I did also restart GSE 2 days ago too.

How long did this flu episode last for you?

I can't take it. My side effect is extreme anxiety and restlessness.

I also don't think I tolerate NAC well. Causes a lot of nausea for me. The same when liposomal glutathione. Seems like a good idea in theory, but doesn't work out for me.
