I will share the pictures of my last hike on a later date, didn't take many because DIDN'T STOP STORMING =(. I did hike quite a bit though, but it became too dangerous, especially for my knee integrity.

Only supplements I really take now are a gram of each Glycine NAC together, berberine by itself and gorillaminds sigma (which has vitaminD) lol makes me feel a lot more sane having been in the great con of our time getting v’D for college. Thanks for all your work and great article tying alot of it together.

FWIW this was a nice article that tied a lot of your previous ones neatly together! Now I see why you are big on the GlyNAC. Question: Is there anything to the claim that NAC "blocks a mitochondrial apoptosis pathway important for eliminating diseased cells?" If so, would this indicate cycling NAC? From a layman's perspective, this looks like it could be the result of in-vitro studies so I'm suspicious of this claim...

You can cycly if you are a healthy individual, or by choice alone if it makes you more confortable, but no, most papers designed to criticize NAC are poorly designed, a lot of people are making a carrer out of that alone, I don't have the time (or the will really) to debunk all of this.

Anything to do with glutathione is a must as things are right now, NAC+Glycine being the most effective combo.

I'll add that we've got around 6 inches of snow on the ground here in Wisconsin and the low tonight is supposed to be 8F so thumbs up on your pictures!

A week or so ago there were some comments on Twitter about this. I had been on NAC 3 days a week and went off awaiting more information. The Internet was no help. I hope John Paul replies to you since I trust him.

I always reply, I just take long to do it because of sheer volume of, well, everything. You can read my reply to Kevin above.

Thanks for the info. The lady is looking at an experimental spinal treatment. She said thanks and suggested Dr. Bedlack Duke University "ALS Untangled."

Any evidence that the vax or virus can trigger ALS? New client mid-50s has diagnosis since last August. NAC, Metformin stack be helpful? Thanks!

Evidence for both, and "growing" every quarter. So, while my Covid is stack is aimed at... well, mitigating the damage, its core structure and start was cognitive, protecting and healing the brain, so incidentally it always helps with nervous/neuro issues.

I can give you some paper, but yes, the stack itself is able to help, but I STRONGLY suggest adding Choline and Benfothiamine. I usually try to make the stack cheap as possible, but here, it needs to be Benfo.

Searching the potential secondary causal agent (herpeviruses, or other latent viruses, measuring certain HERVs) could be beneficial to target it a little bit more. Hope this help, sad to hear, these issues are starting to pile up =(.

Throughout my entire substack you may find glimpses of my distaste, to put it mildly, towards expertise, experts in general, and "consensus".

My biggest problem with most experts, in fact, most people is the fact that they always think in linear dynamics, when biology is but non-linear dynamics. While medicine is incredibly complex, and depth of knowledge is vast, secluding every bit of possible action to fields of knowledge is a detriment towards the public, since most will "stay in their lane" for reasons you just cited.

As I wrote in a random Twitter thread (few experts debating... something I don't recall) I wrote that regardless of perceived IQ, academic achievement or how "intellectual" one may appear to be, most people are still hostage to human behavior. In-group/Out-group preferences are the norm of the land on both sides of the conversation now, and very few people are open to discuss or "color outside the lines".

In fact, I am aware a few accounts criticize me for being too "out there", and not being retroactive (we need data we need data we need data argument, which I despise).

As someone put it once to me "Expertise is the death of critical thinking and independent ideas". (and so is in-group/out-group dynamics in my opinion).
