Today, I’m going to show you how to eliminate mucus in the lungs using NAC. NAC works similarly to salt by thinning mucus, but it also stops its production. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiviral agent that can even break up biofilms. NAC also strengthens the cilia in the respiratory system, which helps to move mucus.

NAC can be taken orally, injected, or inhaled through a nebulizer. It can be beneficial for respiratory congestion related to an infection or for diseases like COPD or cystic fibrosis. NAC is also used in hospitals as an antidote for Tylenol poisoning.

NAC helps enhance brain function and may be beneficial for people with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, OCD, addictions, depression, and schizophrenia. NAC can improve insulin sensitivity, which helps regulate blood sugar and prevent a fatty liver. It promotes healthy blood pressure and cholesterol, and can even help with asthma.

You can reduce respiratory mucus with salt if you’re dealing with an acute infection, but NAC can eliminate mucus and the inflammation behind it.

Vitamin C, curcumin, probiotics, magnesium, quercetin, and vitamin D can all improve the effectiveness of NAC.

    NAC stands for N-Acetyl-L-Cystine. The Pure Encapsulations brand is what an MD Dr. I know recommends for a pill version. Pair it with Hist Resist from the same brand. They work great together for allergies and clearing phlem in the lungs. Better than one or the other.

    Note: Hist Resist has pineapple stem (not the fruit part) in it for bromelain. I am not sure if that will trigger a reaction if you’re allergic to pineapples, just FYI.

    I hope this helps! 😊

    not a professional but I moved from a warm humid climate to a dry cold one. I developed thick mucus in my throat and lungs, now I run a humidifier 24/7 and that problem was resolved. I do gargle with salt water from time to time in winter. My diet is 100% health conscious. I avoid processed anything, which includes pills. I do take B1 and Mag. Glyc. a recent need not helped by food alone and it has had an amazing positive effect on my well-being.

    This video has really been good eye opening.
    I got a surgery & my Dr prescribed Tylenol and I didn’t take Tylenol for about 17 years cuz the last time that I did it gave heartburn.
    However, the other day my doctor convinced me to take Tylenol saying that it was better than Advil.
    I did & it gave me rashes, itchiness, headache all over my body & even did throw up.
    I was confused about what it was.
    I got surgeries before but anesthesia never gave rashes. The only thing different that I did this time was taking Tylenol.
    Everyone was telling me that Tylenol is harmless but now I know that it was the Tylenol.

    Following a severe cold I’ve been congested for days. Although everything else was gone the mucus was still clogging up my lungs. I saw your post a few hours ago and had some NAC in the fridge. I took 3 and can breath again. If I had gone to my regular doctor they wouldn’t have helped. Thanks again Dr Berg.

      I am having similar problem. I had a really bad cold or flu and got better after 2 weeks then had a congestion in my sinus that took awhile to go away and now a month later I feel it in my chest airways. Went to the doctor and she said my lungs are clear and she hears a little in my lower chest which said could be a little bit of bronchitis and just gave me steroids to help open my airways more and stronger allergy medicine. It helped a little but it’s been still feeling some congestion there. I was about to go to urgent care and ask for antibiotics to see if that helps. But I just saw this video and all the comments. Bought me some NAC, gonna start taking it today and believing it will help.
