norcalmom Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 cool. We will take NAC more often! Hope they speed up that version of it for humans consumption.
MomWithOCDSon Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks, Mary! Now if we could just get our hands on some of those nifty dendrimers . . . . .
kimballot Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 http://www.nanotech-now.com/news.cgi?story_id=44990 Mary from Michigan cool stuff! Someday our grandkids will say "once upon a time they did not even know how to make drugs cross the blood-brain barrier"...
bws Posted April 26, 2012 Report Posted April 26, 2012 ta da Just heard about this yesterday! NAC clears mercury from the body, crosses the BBB and helps autistic kids in the process. Cool.
Dedee Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 Love it! My whole family takes NAC and my daughter has gotten it IV with something my Integrative Medicine Practitioner calls an "antioxidant bag". When she has an IV in for any other reason (steriods, antibiotics, etc), we give her a bag. Seems to help, but she always has gotten something else with it so hard to know which is helping.
melanie Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 How much. I'm going to add it back for Danny 155 lbs. And he will be 18 monday
NancyD Posted April 28, 2012 Report Posted April 28, 2012 Start slowly and watch how he does. My DD16 takes 1200 mg bid. How much. I'm going to add it back for Danny 155 lbs. And he will be 18 monday
MomWithOCDSon Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 How much. I'm going to add it back for Danny 155 lbs. And he will be 18 monday Yes, Melanie. Agree with NancyD. Start low and slowly titer up; otherwise, it might cause some intestinal distress. The adult-sized does used in a Yale/NIMH study for treatment-resistance OCD was 3,000 mg./day; given Danny's weight and age, I'd think that would work for him, also. My DS is 15 and 150 lbs.; he's been on the 3,000 mg. dose for over a year now. Good luck!
Dedee Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 For those of you who are using the 3,000 mg per day dosing, where are you getting your supplement? The highest amount I can find is 900mg. Are you just giving multible capsules? I can only get my daughter to take a few things at a time or she starts choking, so I have to get it as concentrated as possible. If I try to sneak it in a drink or food, she knows. Can't get anything past her that way. Dedee
fightingmom Posted April 30, 2012 Report Posted April 30, 2012 Start very slow and don't change anything else when you give it. I think my son is activated by NAC and that was at only 600mg.
