NAC Topical For Glowing Skin?

1 month ago
Posted by Betty (Australia) on 06/09/2025

Hi. Im curious if anyone has thoughts/ warnings about applying pure NAC powder dissolved in water, on skin. It stinks.

I have been applying it to my face and hands at dosage of half a gram in 3 or 4 shot glasses of water ( I don't measure the water). I don't do it every day. Ive not noticed any bad experience from it. I noticed nothing at all, good or bad, other than the smell is horrible. I was hoping it would fade freckles and sun damage, and make my skin glow.

Does anyone know if it is photo toxic? Would it be better to apply it at night?

Is applying it topically a bad idea?

Hi Vaibhav,

I talked to Avery and he said he is scheduled for another CT scan in September for his aortic aneurysm. If he gives me those results then, I will post them.

 Chronic PVCs: Possible Causes and Treatments?

1 month ago
Posted by Art (California) on 06/09/2025

Hi Sim 83,

Creatine is associated with arrythmias. So you may want to avoid it.

Low Magnesium and Potassium levels can be contributing factors to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).

Anxiety and stress from increased adrenaline can also be contributing factors.

Sleep Apnea can be a contributing factor for PVCs.

Gas and bloating can also be a contributor to PVCs.

Coronary arterial disease is another common cause.

There are many potential causes for PVCs, but you need to discuss getting a C-Pap machine with your doctor or cardiologist because sleep apnea has multiple unhealthful consequences and because it can be one cause of PVCs, it needs to be dealt with and eliminated as a cause for your PVCs.

While you're seeing the doctor they can also check your potassium and magnesium levels to try and eliminate them as potential causes. You are way past due for some proper testing and diagnosing by your doctor/cardiologist or both.

Come back once you have those results and you should be able to get more information on the best remedies.

Hello, Bobbie, I know this is off topic, but I'm wondering where you get or how you make lactose free kefir. I know kefir is good for the body, but because of lactose still in it, I have to add a lot of sweeteners before I can drink it. Thanks.

In case anyone besides me has grabbed the "unsulfured" Grandma's molasses while aiming for "blackstrap": I don't think Grandma's currently has "black strap" in its lineup. Black strap is actually pretty hard to find without digging. The ones I've bought lately online like Plantation are definitely more liquid than they were a few years ago and not like the "slow as molasses..." you used to always get.

I was experiencing EMF sensitivity. My smartphone would cause pain when placed in my pocket if the cell signs was still on. Train rides would make me quite irritable .. particularly in the evening when tired. Things went back to normal after I started malong the William Davis SIBO yoghurt, and also supplemented with Vit K2. The yoghurt (well, apparently not a true yoghurt but it tasted like it..) includes probiotics L Reuteri, L. Gasseri, and B Coagulans. I also ordered two L Reuteri supplements that were a mix, one having also Rhamnosus and Acidophilus, the other I ordered and turned out to be from India and tasted more like Acidophilus in my opinion. Anyway, much better now. Hopefully that helps someone.

Hi Margaret,

Would you kindly provide a link to Synergy For Life, or whatever the company is that you purchased your magnets from? I could not find a specific company on line with that name that sells magnets. Also if you would explain how you use them specifically, that would also be appreciated greatly. Thank you!

  Nattokinase and Atrial Fib

Susan I have AFIB and was taking Nattokinese for awhile 2 tablets a day and I got a TIA one morning. I am not on Eliquis as I too am Plant based and need my greens! My cardiologist is vegan so he understands my diet and he said Nattokinise is not FDA approved which mean there is no information on how much someone with AFIB should take so you are taking a chance. He never downed nattokinese just advised that the supplement has only been tested in a petry dish not on humans. I just ordered D-Ribose and will take just 5mg to see how I do and I want to take it for fibromyalgia which they say helps with pain. Hope this helps, but I would be careful not taking Eliquis I don't want to see you with a TIA or Stroke.

Leg Cramps

Hi, this may help. I was told buy a holistic healer, to use a pinch (couple grains) of celtic sea salt on the tongue, in the morning or when I have cramps. The glands in the mouth carry it fast into the blood stream. Let the salt dissolve on the tongue (mouth) do not chew. Peace!

Chances are, if you're in an area where poke is growing, they aren't spraying. It tends to get large in areas that are undisturbed, and kinda left to their own devices. But, sure.... get it as far out as possible. IMHO, a city poke is better than no poke.

Chronic PVCs: Possible Causes and Treatments?

Posted by Sim 83 (a) on 06/08/2025

I'm no stranger to palpitations, I've experienced both rapid heartbeats and skipped heartbeats for most of my adult life I'm Male 60. I suffer from a lot of stress and anxiety so they go with the territory. My last full cardiac workup was 13 years ago with no significant findings. I'm not sure it's relevant or not but a few weeks ago I started taking creatine monohydrate, and I started experiencing more frequent PVC like palpitations skipping heartbeat, sometimes 3 in less than a min.

I'm not sure if it was the creatine because to add to my problems I suffer from untreated moderate sleep apnea so I haven't been very rested lately. I recognize that this could also be a Vegus nerve inflammation sometimes the Vegus nerve reset exercises work sometimes they don't. Trapped gas, hat tip to Dr Doolittle scene with Eddy Murphy. I'm also something of a hypochondriac and I was worried that that it could be an arterial issue primarily Aorta in aneurysm in the stomach, which can be fatal. Causes could be physical over exertion, which I do the Tibetan Rites which are very demanding especially on the abdominals, I read one of the symptoms is a pulse in the naval area, which I have but than others say it's normal to have a pulse in that area. Is there one There aren't too many other telltale symptoms except sudden drop in B.P. Today I had a drop from 117 to 115 but it could be due to lack of rest and I was lying down at the time)

That was at least 4 days ago and I'm still standing.(Today they are very chronic and I've maybe an hour My old hypochondriac self would have already run to the ER to get checked, but today I'm more self sufficient and don't panic everytime I would think if it was serious something would have happened already. I've doing what I can to manage the palpitations including the V nerve resets and belly breathing, taking cayenne, kyolic, but the PVCs keep persisting and they are taking their till, I hope there is someone who can share a similar experience or helpful advice. As I've write this I've had like at least 6 PVCs in the space if 5-10 mins is that normal, Thanks

@ Audrey

First you need to understand how you got this problem. You have too much calcium in your diet with too little magnesium. You have a inbalance inside your body. You need calcium for strong bones. If magnesium is not present, your body will push it into the soft tissue and cause calcification of the organs. D3 and K2 needs to but present also.

Apple Cider Vinegar is my number one remedy for this problem.

Apple cider vinegar helps break down calcium deposits and reduce inflammation. Mix 1 tablespoon in a glass of water and drink 3x/daily. Expect to do this for 3 months/

Hi Audrey,

Magnesium may be useful for calcifications in the body.

Many forms of magnesium have shown the ability to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB).

A few forms of magnesium that are considered to cross the BBB are Magnesium Taurate, Magnesium L Threonate and Magnesium Aspartate.

If you don't mind answering, how did you determine that you had calcifications of the brain?

It sounds like it could be a combination of detox and die off. Borax kills Candida and die off can be brutal. Possibility die off from parasites as well. You might want to google Borax and Parasites to see if there is a link.
