I supplement regularly NAC, magnesium, vit B3, C & D, zinc etc. But I have the weird tendency when I get slightly sick I stop everything. I feel extremely sick by supplementing anything. Also in general food. During sickness I think I'm in a fasting mood and basically just drinking huge amount of water.

Then after the sickness is over I have a craving to go back for supplements. I tried pushing through with antioxidants during sickness but it just doesn't work for me.

Your body/guts know you better than me or any other person ever could, so you should stick to what works for you. That should be almost in every substack I write:).

Doing supplements after the sickness is as good as during, you are cleaning the body and etc too.

Hi John Paul. This is in line with what I am working on. When I get the paper put together I would appreciate your input. I am not focused so much anymore at solely mitigating the ROS as much as removing much of the underlying cause of it. After that yes mitigate ROS on some scale indefinitely because it will always be a predisposition even if what I am thinking works. Some will see it as counter intuitive and it will be counter intuitive with comorbidities such as active cancers. But makes sense with other manifestations including neurological involement. Will likely devise a flow chart. Thinking it through still how to best present it.

Sure, you can e-mail me whenever you find it appropriate for me to read it and give you a input.

The focus here was antioxidants, so I only mentioned the aspects related to it, but as I have written since 2020, the major drivers of long-term pathological effects will be the excessive oxidative stress, and the metabolic shift the infection causes, which now is very different from all the other "variants". Given how fast all the lastest omicron strains replicate, I still believe "cleaning" the cellular mess is a good, long-term goal, especially because it helps avoiding a secondary hit.

Thank you for this article. The pleiotropic symptomatology for cv and vx injured is consistent with redox compromise. Is this a selection process removing "subjects" including children with weak endogenous redox? I imagine all their vxes are selection processes causing SIDS and SADs. Is the prion theory as aberrant folded proteins have any validity? In retrospect, the theory for prions like BSE and kuru, is likely to be false. Prions created fear and probably cover some experiment on the way to bioweapon development. Is there significant sequence homology from multiple pathogens within the SARS COV sequence including prions, tb,hiv ect..?.if true this provides the best evidence for it's lab design. I read this published

2019 a article, researchers claimed these similarities with so many pathogens were so improbable that it had to be manipulated in a lab. .of course article was later retracted.

Sorry taking so long to reply, a get lots of notifications and it is pretty easy, and quick to lose myself among them.

I do believe the selection process is to remove any person susceptible to the many changes the Spike brings, with the one bearing more weight and initiator the cascade effects being the redox system. At this point I do believe all jabs are part of fairly misguided conception of the purpose of vaccination, while you may get a level of protection from certain pathogens, it is clear that vaccines (all of them) causes aging of the immune system. It would certain explain why there is so much autoimmunity in the first-world compared to the third (since the first world has a lot more jabs to infants and children than the third).

The prion theory has some validity, but it is not set in stone (especially since one of the biggest names in the field of misfolded protein diseases was caught faking a lot of his papers), and certainly there is ample evidence that certain "misfolded" proteins have antimicrobial effects, and often happen in response towards injury/invasion of a pathogen, rather than just magically misfolding and spreading, given the evidence I am more inclined to believe the second, rather than the usual theory.

There is significant sequence homology between almost a dozen pathogens in the RBD alone, follower by human protein mimicry in other parts of the virus, the HIV "inserts". The prion "sequence" often alluded and used by the grifter to push the usual bullshit is present in other viruses and in the case of SARS-CoV-2 is one of the tools to drive the absurd replication rate to higher levels.

There is no doubt to most people's mind this was stitched in a lab, it is impossible for contamination or even recombination to birth something so "precise". Certain sequences and proteins of this virus could only exist with a human helping hand.

Yes, thank you.

Question: I read that eating a few brazil nuts per day would give one enough selenium. Do you know if that's true? Been doing that for awhile.

Yes it is true but Brazil nuts have other things inside and are CALORIE DENSE. Also there is a significant difference between nutritional and therapeutic level. I would still take a selenium supplement at least for a few weeks every X amount of months. The amount of months is up to each person.

When you say "up to each person" do you mean once a person does its blood work and checks whether or not they have any deficiencies... or...? Thank you.

Follow their gut instinct. Up to each one to decide. When you are stressed your body will use nutrients, when you get infected, when you injury yourself, etc. As a simple rule of thumb I left after each respiratory infection one should supplement nutrients.

You will never be able to measure the deficiency I imply here by bloodwork alone until it is late in the game.

Thank you I did not know that. Guideline on Glycine and NAC vary sooooooo muuuch. Some say 1gr for both.but Mercola says 10gr.. I mean it is really 🤔

1 grams would be “normal dosage”. Anything above 5 is for moderate to severe illness or older people. The older you are the more you need of all of these things, and in older people it must be DAILY, not a choice here.

whatever dosage you choose for NAC, you do the same for glycine, almost 1 to 1. No harm in taking a little more glycine than NAC too.

Finally after many months i have increased NAC intake to around 1800mg or so (i take powder so its never completely accurate ,even with measuring scale),Glycine anyway 3-5 grams anytime is fine,,, one thing it is important to take NAC and glycine same time (with selenium i prefer) or different time also gives same result? (i mean the glynac effect ) ..thank you for all the hard work and your time!

Your comment speaks to the issue of data: we really do not have enough clear data for a healthy population, for genetic variability within that population, for various oxidative insults that impact individuals as well as groups (locale, diet, environment, associated insults, etc).

As I frequently have commented across many Substacks, a central issue in medicine & health maintenance is the individualization of care. There is an art in medicine involving “seeing” specifics for a given person. In dealing with the mind of a given patient, I develop an intuitive feel over time, and generally can trust the “sense of direction” I experience. In athletic training a top notch coach can develop a similar sense of when the athlete needs to back off vs push harder.

At a molecular level we are “playing in the dark” far too often. Mechanisms can be understood without being quantifiable to the extent needed. In a general sense uncertainties contribute to the trend for “expert consensus guidelines” in medicine that turn into cookbooks. Too many physicians seem to want to be told exactly what to do rather than struggle with the uncertainties inherent in the “PRACTICE” of medicine.

Tremendous effort, John Paul! Besides encouraging people to develop skills & DIY, I have advocated NAC for a long, long time, and intermittently have focused on selenium. When the FDA sought to “outlaw” OTC sales of NAC in April or May of 2020, I stopped “thinking” there was evil intent. I KNEW IT at that point. There was simply no rational basis for such action.

Thank you for your amazing efforts! Lacking the time to explore everything that interests me, I find the depth of your explorations a true gift to the masses. At some point a private dialogue would be great!

I have been a fan of NAC for a good number of years, ever since I "discovered" it in pursue of solving my own issues in more natural ways, and the more I researched, more I grew into finding it as a powerful supplement.

I knew in March 2020, the FDA would soft ban NAC, they had been trying for years, and a few of the pharmaceutical companies knew it was effectively at treating a lot of the cases, so they pressured it for the soft ban, otherwise vaccines wouldn't be a thing. They did the same, even more aggressively with HCQ.

Appreciate your kind words. You are free to e-mail me to have a dialogue, some subscribers are able to e-mail me directly from Substack, but I don't know how that work. Test it out and if doesn't work, I will just comment my e-mail (and delete afterwards).

Just posted elsewhere with an address after a failed attempt to message via Substack email. As far as NAC, I confess that I never pondered amounts of free glycine & need to supplement, given that it is a non-essential AA. I have supplemented with glutamine after workouts & when sick for years, and as I say I love NAC. I do look forward to further dialogue & eagerly await your next posts!

In dec 2020 there was NO excessive deaths from 'covid19', everything started with the genetically modifying illegal, thus criminal covid injections. Consequently the entire discussion about 'health effects of SARS-CoV-2' should have this fact as a clear background always in mind.

The effects of the viral infection in the body are indisputable, this isn’t even a matter open for “debate”. Learning how the virus affects the body is necessary to help people who got injected, also something that isn’t up for debate. And my focus was, is, and always will be helping people.

I might be a layman but this article backs my findings - main staples are B3 flush niacin, NAC, selenium, Bromelain, R-Alpha lipoic acid, B vitamins, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Zinc. It gets shifted over several days but the cycles include a bit of all.

Those are all suggested all over my Substack, so you are absolutely correct. Since the focus here was antioxidants, I focused on them alone. Good work.

What is ROS?

Expand full comment
author

Reactive Oxygen Species. It is a unstable molecule that contains oxygen that reacts with a lot of things, and often causes damage if there is too much of it. My recent substack about spike in brain touches on that.
