Can you tell me what NAC is? Thanks Snow
Hi Snow,
A warm welcome and very nice to meet you :D, though sorry you had to see us out.
NAC = N-Acetyl Cysteine
You'll find lots on the web about it, but here is a Wiki article that includes a brief summary of its effects on interstitial lung disease (though it has been edited to ask author to include citation of source):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcysteine
“Interstitial lung disease
Acetylcysteine is used in the treatment of interstitial lung disease to prevent disease progression.”
Essentially, NAC is a precursor to glutathione production in the liver, which is a major detoxifying agent for the body.
Hope this helps?
Peace, Maz
NAC is a precursor to glutathione. Here is a link to a MedicineNet article. If you search this site for both NAC and glutathione, you'll find a lot better explanation than i can give. Also, look at the beginning of this thread posting. I've just started glutathione theraphy myself so I don't have any success to post yet.
Did they say how much fibrosis or how long its been there?
Blessings,
Deb

Hi Snow,
I also wanted to welcome you to the Roadback forum and hope you can find some answers here.
In addition to the NAC, you might also want to do a search on Neprinol (digestive enzymes) and read about it's fibrotic-busting properties. It's done wonders in dissolving old scar tissue and thinning my blood for better circulation. A note, that a starting dose is greater than what's on the label and must be taken on an empty stomach.
Take care…..kim
Sorry for the delayed response.
It was a toy; an open weave ball. She would either drag it around by the tether it had or she would stick her head through the openings and chew on it.
