I just had an appt. with my Naturopath yesterday and she suggested NAC instead of liposomal glutathione. I seem to get headaches when I take the glutathione and was also very sensitive to the IV glutathione when my LLMD tried it (they had to stop it halfway through the bag).

Should I be concerned or cautious about starting NAC given my experience with the glutathione? The dose that she has me starting at is 900 1x per day. She would like me to get up to 900 2x per day.

I just want to be mentally prepared. If anyone has experience with side effects or herx-like symptoms from NAC I would love it if you shared. Thank you!

I had no side effects from NAC. Actually I could not even tell I had added it to my regime.

But, we are all so different.

Checking Drug.com it says contact the doc if you get any of the following


Difficulty with breathing or swallowing
fever
hives or itching
nausea
rash with or without a fever
reddening of the skin, especially around the ears
severe or ongoing vomiting
swelling of the eyes, face, or inside of the nose
unusual tiredness or weakness

Okay...good to hear! I think it would be a great addition to my detox protocol as it takes A LOT for me to detox.

PeteZa - Do you remember what dose you were on?

I'm pretty sure I took it because of a recommendation from this forum for possible bio-films. I know I would have taken what Buhner recommended.

Here is Buhner's take on it -- buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/vitamin-c-and-glutathione-precursors/

Buhner also says --

For treating biofilms, the following can be useful:
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) – 2,000 mg 2 times daily
Greater celandine – ¼ teaspoon 3 times daily
Royal Jelly – 1 teaspoon 3 times daily

I got this from -- http://www.betterhealthguy.com/images/stories/PDF/BUHNER%20CONF%20NOTES.pdf -- I can't make a clickable link to this pdf. You will have to copy and paste to see this wonderful article.

i've been on NAC 1000mg 2x/day for about a year haven't noticed any effects from it. never did glutathione in any form.
