I added this to the adult forum because I wondered what people thought about NAC.

This part was interesting:
<b>Despite the improvement and the relatively safe profile of NAC, Conrad and Tirouvanziam strongly caution cystic fibrosis patients against self-medicating with NAC or any other drug. Although NAC can sometimes be found as a food supplement, many of these formulations contain little or no active compound, and some even contain a form of NAC that is potentially harmful to cystic fibrosis patients. The NAC that was used in this study is specially formulated for medical use by a Canadian company and is not licensed for sale in the United States.</b>

For those already doing it, what kind do you use, the dose and have you noticed any difference?

Thanks

if you watch CF clinical trials on the CFF website, NAC has been onthere for quite a while as well.

By the way - mucomyst has NAC in it <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I am re-posting the story about my dog Bailey....
Here is a quick little story about NAC, or mucomist, and my dog. In the winter of 03, my dog ate a whole bottle of selenium...the vet estimated she ate 10,000 micrograms...enough to kill a cow. Anyway, by the time the vet had her she was already smelling like garlic...a sign that she had eaten a lethal dose. (the pet hospital is one of those hospitals that was state of the art..oncologists, surgeons etc.) Well, she told me that the antidote for selenium poisoning was NAC or mucomist, but that really, I needed to be prepared to lose my dog. She told me that they give NAC to increase GSH (GLUTATHIONE) in the dog's body...to fight off the poison...but, she said, NAC was too toxic to administer to my dog more than two times. I suggested she give her GSH...she said she would , but that they didn't have any. I said, well, I just happen to have some in my purse. She looked at me like I was nuts...but, we mixed up the gsh in water and syringe fed it to her every three hours around the clock for two days and that little dog came around and is still here with me today. The funny thing was I had been praying since September of that year that the Lord would give me some confidence in my decision to take gsh...Uh, prayer answered. All that to say, NAC is the precursor to GSH...gsh is not toxic. Interestingly, the body immediately takes NAC and converts it to gsh (GLUTATHIONE) because NAC is harmful...or toxic at certain levels.
My vet 100% believes that the gsh saved her life...she could not have survived the poisoning without it...and it was the only thing they gave her besides one dose of Nac.
