Good choice, that’s the product I take. Weirdly, I’ve found that it helps with fat loss. As another poster mentioned, it can also ease congestion in the lungs. As I’m extra sensitive to meds/ supplements in general, I only take the NAC-sustain 2 or 3 times a week. Yes, only 2 or 3 tabs per...

True. Good point.

I generally follow the advice of Oscar Wilde on this, and forward the articles to someone else to read (secretly hoping they'll reply with a neat synopsis). "I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself." ~Oscar Wilde Or, I stash the...

As the authors of the recent PACE reanalysis paper (BMC Psychology) have pointed out, there is no right of reply to SMC ‘expert reaction’ briefings. I think there is scope for someone to set up a dedicated website providing authors with a right of reply to SMC opinion that is presented as ‘the...

Yes, it is a little bit tantalizing isn't it... Like when you think the main agonist in a horror movie has been killed off, then they rise from apparent death to stumble about. I suppose what he is saying, is that, despite the new primary endpoint data being unable to demonstrate an effect...

Ohh, I see! Hehe! Can someone correct that in the original post? I almost forwarded that statement to about a dozen people. :laugh:

I agree that the saline infusions could have provided some short-term symptom relief, for 1 or 2 days. But the main endpoint for evaluation of clinical effectiveness was, what was it... at 6 months, or something? So, the way the trial outcome was designed I don’t think that would have been a...

Just wanted to chime in to say I experience exactly the same thing, with a transitory reduction in symptoms before getting hit with full impact of a viral infection, I mean stuff like coughs and colds. Like you say, it is an improvement in cognitive function and sense of wellbeing, I’m more...

Thanks for confirming that, but unfortunately I think this is clutching at straws. As the authors said, it was a well conducted study of b-cell depletion; they would have been able to measure and monitor levels of b-cells to confirm the Rituximab was technically effective. It did it’s job...
