ATTN ALL SMOKERS: You should be taking N-Acetyl Cysteine
How did I miss this all these years... at least I discovered it now while I still have no major health problems...

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine

Individuals who have smoked cigarettes [or to a lessor degree, buds] for many years eventually develop deterioration in their lungs leading to various symptoms, including chronic production of thick mucus. This so-called chronic bronchitis tends to flare up periodically into severe acute attacks possibly requiring hospitalization. Regular use of NAC may diminish the number of these attacks. A review and meta-analysis selected eight double-blind placebo-controlled trials of NAC for chronic bronchitis. 1-9 The results of these studies, involving a total of about 1,400 individuals, suggest that NAC taken daily at a dose of 400 to 1,200 mg can reduce the number of acute attacks of severe bronchitis.

Re: ATTN ALL SMOKERS: You should be taking N-Acetyl Cysteine
Here's the info I originally found, indirectly through looking up Sabucol and Echinacea to fight my flu...

Description: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a modified form of the amino acid cysteine. It is commonly used in hospitals both to help break down mucus and to protect from acetaminophen toxicity. In addition, it helps the body to synthesize the antioxidant glutathione.

NAC helps to reduce plasma cell adhesion in Type 2 diabetes patients.
While NAC does reduce the amount of damage caused to the lungs by cigarette smoking, it does not completely protect them from damage.

NAC is effective in the treatment of lung damage caused by inhalation of airborne chemicals.

NAC appears effective in reducing complications related to liver transplants. It may also be effective for use in other transplant situations.

The amino acid N-acetyl Cystene (NAC) appears to inhibit HIV replication in a laboratory setting. Supplementation appears to slow the decline of immune function in HIV patients. When used with Glutamine, it helps in the production of glutathione, an antioxidant which appears to be helpful in preventing infection in HIV patients.

The supplement N-acetyl cysteine appears to minimize the severity of influenza infection. Subjects taking 600 mg twice daily experience far fewer and less severe symptoms when they became infected with the flu.

You think I give a shit about your fucktarded comments don't you...

I am stopping at Henry's on the way home to buy N-Acetyl Cycsteine. Nothing like immediate gratification. You can buy it off the Internet though. I recommend you do so if you smoke anything... for your family. They will take care of you and love you anyway, but inside they will be bitter they have to take care of you and you didn't do more to take care of yourself.

Re: ATTN ALL SMOKERS: You should be taking N-Acetyl Cysteine
If your vitimin supplement contains "CYSTINE" (like mine, whcih is Seasilver), this is a less efficiently absorbed version of the same substance. L-Acytel Cysteine is the precurcor to this, and it is more stable and easily absorbed into the body.

Seasilver is a very powerful and common vitamin supplement. I imagine alot of people could benefit the way I will when I start taking the LAC.

Why spread misinformation? Maybe this can help someone. It helps with lots of things, like getting over flu symtoms faster and slowing HIV progression. Why do you want people to be sicker if they don't have to be? I have never understoof hateful petty people like you.

If you hate spam, get Trinity to ban the loser EAT.

Good link above...

"NAC has neither a sedative or stimulant effect, and is a safe substance showing excellent tolerance in patients."

I think this means it is safe to take every day.

Thank you Op

Hows this for a thought, do you think all that money ciggie companies payed out to victims of lung cancer woiuld have better off finding ways to regenerate lungs after smoking damages them?

I do, of course anti smokers will hate this idea.

probably because deep down inside they just don't like people enjoying themselves.

I imagine the reason cigarette companies don't promote this type of remedy is that they would first have to admit that their product causes something that needs to be remedied.

You can go take a long walk off a small pier.

If this thread is spam, why are some smokers saying cool I didn't know that.

this is what the net is for passing on info.

I see your point about tobacco co's OP.

But really everyone knows smoking damages your lungs, along with many other things.

If the tobacco companies had put all their legal payouts or even some into researching regeneration of and healing of lung damage then they wouldn't look as bad, maybe have helped humanity and done their market prospects a world of good.

Keeping their customers alive longer means more paying customers.

And less people quitting for health reasons.

Re: ATTN ALL SMOKERS: You should be taking N-Acetyl Cysteine
I have noticed that when I take N-Acetyl Cysteine every day... I feel completely great all the time. My family is not going through another bout of flu, and I am immune. I smoke constantly too. Even when I have the flu and I get over it in 1 day.
