Guest guest Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi Tina, The article I posted from the price foundation, said NAC is not recommended. I am pasting that part here below. Seems I took that for a short time, not long term. The ketogenic diet and coconut oil will help detox us, and increase glutathione as well. Secondly, an unexpectedly dangerous compound to avoid is N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a high-priced product heavily recommended by alternative medical doctors and other health practitioners. NAC is a form of cysteine often recommended as a more powerful form of the much-needed amino acid L-cysteine or in lieu of glutathione, an antioxidant that is rarely effective in supplement form.66 Although dozens of journal articles support its short-term use as immunity booster and detoxifier, evidence is mounting of potential long-term harm. The NAC form of cysteine conceivably can poison vitalethine, a vital component needed to activate humoral immunity.67-69 C. > > NAC is good to help detox the metals.Hard decision to make,to decide to have your teeth taken out.I understand though.I suggested it to my friend with fibro,as she has had lots of fillings.My oldest daughter has a mouthfull of fillings.She also has much anger issues.I wish I could get her to listen to me. > http://www.westonaprice.org/environmental-toxins/mad-as-a-hatter > > C. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hi, Last few years, it seems like I am of the impression that like Bee says, more is not better. I was probably doing too much, and trying to force my body to detox more than it was able. It is hard to really tell, as many vegetables, vitamins, nutrients, good fats, spices, and more can change our gene expressions. Like nightshade family vegetables, some can handle them better, and other people, they cause too many healing reactions. Some finally are able to handle them better after a while, if starting on them slowly and building up. I do think taking NAC, alpha lipoic acid, and maybe some others are perhaps going overboard, and causing more problems than it is helping. It is just something you have to read up on and decide. Also, our health is not something we can hurry up the healing, expecting some supplement to heal us in a few months, when really, it may take years. Hope this helps. C. > > Now I am confused.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi, hope you have success with it. I mentioned in my experiences, I was a bit afraid of using the diatomceous earth. Bee does not recommend it. So you did find the food grade, for sure? I still am just using the coconut oil, and high far, with some well cooked spices as a detox, and am better in a lot of ways.(I slowly increased the fats, and reduced the carbs). I lost much of my social anxiety, and have improved mood. I did have some itching around my waist some that would come and go, and still have diarrhea sometimes.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi, I found some info on it, with some links. Hope this helps. http://www.richsoil.com/diatomaceous-earth.jsp c > > Hi , > I just wanted to thank you for posting the information from the Westin Price site. I read the article as my son has autism and heavy metal issues. It does mention using food grade Diatomaceous earth for detoxing heavy metals. I ordered some from Amazon. It is very cheep. It sounds like a better way than using other chelators. > Blessings, > Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
