Summary

Today, I’m going to show you how to eliminate mucus in the lungs using NAC. NAC works similarly to salt by thinning mucus, but it also stops its production. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral agent that can even break up biofilms. NAC also strengthens the cilia in the respiratory system, which helps to move mucus.

NAC can be taken orally, injected, or inhaled through a nebulizer. It can be beneficial for respiratory congestion related to an infection or for diseases like COPD or cystic fibrosis. NAC is also used in hospitals as an antidote for Tylenol poisoning.

NAC helps enhance brain function and has been shown to be beneficial for people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, OCD, addictions, depression, and schizophrenia. NAC can improve insulin sensitivity, which helps regulate blood sugar and prevent a fatty liver. It promotes healthy blood pressure and cholesterol, and can even help with asthma.

You can reduce respiratory mucus with salt if you’re dealing with an acute infection, but NAC can eliminate mucus and the inflammation behind it.

Vitamin C, curcumin, probiotics, magnesium, quercetin, and vitamin D can all improve the effectiveness of NAC.

0:00.0	I want to show you how to clear out your respiratory mucus, which includes bronchitis,
0:04.9	mucus with pneumonia, sinusitis, any mucus in your respiratory system with something better than
0:10.7	salt. Now, I've done quite a few videos on using salt to get rid of mucus, and it's good,
0:15.9	but there's something much better. And that remedy is NAC. NAC is also used in hospitals, emergency rooms as the antidote
0:24.8	to Tylenol poisoning. The benefits of NAC go way beyond mucus, which I'm going to cover, but let's
0:30.6	just focus on what it does to your mucus. NAC basically thins your mucus. It makes your mucus less sticky. Salt will do that as well by absorbing
0:42.0	water into the mucus, but NAC takes it one step further. It's a very potent anti-inflammatory. It also is a
0:49.3	very potent antioxidant. Not only does it thin the mucus, but it also stops the production of mucus. It strengthens
0:55.2	the little hairs, the cilia in your respiratory system that helps move mucus. And not only that,
1:01.7	it's antibacterial, antiviral, and it can even break up something called biofilms, which are certain
1:07.6	microc colonies that live within the mucus that are protected sometimes by either
1:12.5	calcium or other things and there's three ways that you can take nacc you can take it orally as a
1:18.3	supplement you can get it injected certain doctors do that or you can inhale it through a nebulizer
1:24.6	and i'm going to get into a little more details in a little bit on how to take it.
1:27.9	And the reason I'm putting this NAC on your radar is because it does a lot. You can use it for many
1:32.5	different things. Whether you have mucus from an infection or you have something called CLP,
1:37.7	which is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease where the lungs are generating a lot of mucus
1:43.5	or even a genetic condition that involves
1:46.4	the lung in mucus called cystic fibrosis. N-A-Z can come to the rescue. And so let's first touch on
1:52.3	what it does for Tylenol poisoning. When someone takes too much Tylenol, what it's going to do is
1:57.0	going to produce this chemical that's going to deplete glutathione. And without glutathione,
2:02.0	your liver goes right down the tubes. You develop liver damage and the liver can literally shut down.
