THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL READERS, WHO GENTLY POINTED OUT SEVERAL ISSUES. This post was flawed by my uncritical acceptance of TTFD, which under close examination turns out to be a marketing gimmick. Accept my apologies, and I have rewritten the episode above.
Greetings! Dr. Robert, thank you! Came across you possibly because your mention of NAC. I have been taking Swanson Vitamins' NAC 600 mg. since 2009. I have not had any flu, Coronavirus' and maybe one cold since then. HA! I did not even know that it has an awful taste. It's now about $10.00 a bottle. Child: 1/Day Adult: 2/Day I take one with a meal and one before sleep. They now have 1000 mg. capsules. I now take only one of these daily before sleep. My husband had Parkinson's for fifteen years living until 89. He only took natural meds no drugs. Piracetam (used to be a drug) was helpful. He did very well (very little shaking) until his last year when he was bedridden. He was two days in the hospital then two days in hospice. In his last few months he had visual delusions which I later learned happens with Parkinson's patients. This also occurs with the body is shutting down. We registered with Science Care donating our bodies when dead. They were very nice handled him well, some ashes were returned, a tree planted in his name, and not costing me 1 cent! 😲 THIS was very helpful! I post publicly on MeWe. Maybe I will order glycine capsules. I do take Swanson's Lysine capsules, another amino acid.
According to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, “glyphosate is an analog of the amino acid glycine. It attaches in the body in places where we actually need glycine. If you take 4 grams (a level teaspoon) twice a day, you will see that immediately the glyphosate in the urine goes up. That’s what we want. We try to saturate the system with glycine. We want the glyphosate in the urine. You don’t want it in your brain. In the U.S., even organic food has 80 percent of the same glyphosate content as non-organic food. It [glyphosate] rains down on us.”
As always Dr. Yoho I look forward to your episodes and appreciate your perspective.
However I do not believe Giorgi Dinkov (Haidut) is either "brilliant" or his website is a source for well thought out nutrition advice. He constantly uses small rodent studies to make huge, unsupported claims.
His latest article "Low-carb diet and chronic (even mild) stress sufficient to cause heart disease (CVD) and depression" is based on a rat study and his own experience going low carb for a short time in 2008 and realizing it was "detrimental to his health." I do not believe the "evidence" he cites and a N=1 is convincing.
This goes for B1 TTFD as well. The basis for this was a study of 6 rats. He also publishes literally a dozen articles on one day (Sept. 16) and does that multiple days and times. I do not know anyone else who can do that volume of research thoughtfully and responsibly.
I have no issue with people who want to follow Ray Peat or for that matter any dietary strategy. My problem is that he makes ridiculous claims using rodent, limited scope trials.
It appears to me that his main intention is to sell his supplements (IdeaLabs LLC), which on his website he says are " customized, liquid COSMETIC products based on the ideas of metabolic/energetic theory of health."
I am admittedly no expert, but what has slowly percolated through my thick head over the past few years is the power of targeted supplements to replace the entirety of conventional medical care.
This is a key point and I pinned it to the top of the comments.
I get it, I've been there, until I learned better. I took a sinkhole amount of supplement junk - all highly reputable sources (well all come from the same few Chinese companies).
Now, it's behind me.
I cannot wait for you to discover the next chapter.
Aside from the issues of depleted nutrient supplies in soils that would necessitate eating excessive quantities of food/calories to obtain "human" level nutrition, we still have to deal with the very human nature of aging and disease. Nutritional doses will not come close to what's required for therapeutic treatments.
We are dealing with a decline in nutrients, much of it purposeful. Supplements can cure most of it and make us healthy again. I am a bad student of it all, but I'm learning.
Only you can know by trying. No one can predict the outcome of anything. Be your own healer. Personally, I believe NAC has been a godsend for me but you have to guide yourself to what will work for you. Nobody is coming to save us. Surely not your hand cuffed hospital based physicians. It's all a guessing game... don't let anyone fool you.
But, Dr. Yoho answered other people's comments. Yes, you do have to know the dosage. All supplement companies aren't all trusting. I only order my supplements from certain companies.
This what the powers-that-should-not-be (and those profiteering from the imaginary consequences aka the supp. sellers) are making you believe (successfully it seems) because they not only control and profit from the pharma poisons, they also control/own and profit from the synthetic supplement junks/poisons.
I often think the same thing. A supplement for this problem, a supplement for this problem… and so on and so on. Take some on an empty stomach, take some with food, don’t take this one the same time as that one. What are the excipients, can you get it in pure powder form? How much money am I spending a year on supplements? Anything that has an effect can have a side effect. Some of are not in a position where we can grow our own food or raise our own livestock. We can’t control the air we breathe. We can distill our own water to drink. If we live in an apartment, can we attach a filter to our shower head to control the water we bathe in? How about the water we use to wash our clothes, if we live in an apartment? We need to be selective about what, if any, supplements we take. Dr. Yoho, I appreciate the information you share and hope for the best in your managing Parkinson’s. Two of my mother’s sisters had Parkinson’s and I have certain nonmototor symptoms commonly found in Parkinson’s that make me wonder if that will be a diagnosis that I will share one day. Best wishes to you.
Allie- I LOVE your post as I am starting to feel the same way. Every day I read or scan what seems like a hundred articles about nutrition, functional medicine, alternative treatments, supplements, etc. etc. It's gotten to the point that if I read enough substack posts the various doctors and non-doctors are contradicting each other so it's hard to know what to believe although I do trust Dr. Yoho because of all that's he's been through.
At this point in my life, I try to live every day to its fullest and to enjoy my brief time on this planet. I have discovered that Happiness is a choice and I can choose not to be miserable and negative like I was while I was drinking and drugging. (25 years clean and sober).
I try to get as much sunlight as I can, eat well, swim, paddle and live my best life on a daily basis.
Forget the NAC! Use straight L-Cysteine. Far more affordable, doesn't have taste issues and is the "active" ingredient in NAC. NAC was simply formulated to be patented, as you cannot patent L-Cysteine! Shout-out to Pottenger's Human YouTube channel for covering this on detail.
Message to Dr. Yoho- do you have any information you can provide relating to knee replacement surgery and alternative treatments? I would love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks for all that you do and all your help for the sick and suffering.
Is it best to take glynac on an empty stomach or with food? Or does it matter? I thought NAC had to be on an empty stomach because it may interfere with absorption of other proteins?
Definitely read Hormone Secrets as Dr. Yoho has helped me find the right people who you can work with to OPTIMIZE your hormones. Find doctors in your area by going to worldlinkmedical.com
I went overboard on him in my first iteration of this post but now think he way overstated his case to sell his TTFD and revised my essay; see the one on substack
I haven’t been getting your stuff that long, so please forgive me if this is something you already know or have covered. I assume you know about mucuna prurins for Parkinson’s. If you do not, please do yourself a favor and research it. Every person, that I know of, that has Parkinson’s and is also taking the mucuna, is almost totally back to a normal life and feeling normal. No tremors, no dyskinesia etc. my dad is 81 and has been taking it for a year is doing great!! If you want more information I will gladly give it to you.
Excellent report thanks for the effort and for sharing information. Do you know if taking magnesium glycinate provides a source of glycine in addition to mg? Thanks
Is it ok to load your own caps if order the NAC powder? I mean will it still absorb and mix with the Glycine? Or load both and take at same time maybe so caps dissolve together at same time?

great source and ideas and I appreciate the encouragement and sources. I pinned your comment to the top and preserved it. Best
Robert, thank you! I also like the site EarthClinic.com where people post their
experiences with natural healers. Wishing you a blessed Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement.) 🙏

Yes! That is the primary reason I take glycine… to displace glyphosate.
Me too!
love it
After this brief review, glycine seems harmless.
chlorine dioxide also destroys glyphosate

Love this, and your study of it is 100 x deeper than mine. I will not buy any more TTFD. I pinned it to the top of the comments.
Thanks for the thoughtful heads-up.
I am going to say an undoubtedly unpopular opinion here.
Drop all the synthetic supplements (none of these are extracts!) and start to eat and live like a human.
You may ask AI what that means :)
Problem is that you can't get enough from a person's diet.
Who told you this?
Rather than parroting a sentence, ppl should trace this statement back to its origine.
What?
be nice alot to learn and discern
Something to think about. Yep.

Dr. Yoho: Please answer me. I have fibromyalgia. Will this supplement help me with my body inflammation? What brand? How much to take?

False on all accounts.

you have not seen what functional medicine can do
How do you know that??
Yulia, I suggest you stock up on tinfoil. There’s a hat in every box.
Maybe I know something that you don't.
I could share a few links for your education but do I care about what you know or think: No.
I rather get my tinfoil hat :)))
I'm wearing a hat myself right now
helps with the
emf ha
Good grief 😂

I have put NAC in veggie caps. These are empty capsules you can open and put product in.
Thank you for all your info!!

empty stomach if possible

EXACTLY
hormones are the most powerful supps
That's a surprisingly measured AI evaluation of Dinkov.
He's an interesting guy.
Churns out ideas, does interesting experiments on rats.

Hello,
I haven’t been getting your stuff that long, so please forgive me if this is something you already know or have covered. I assume you know about mucuna prurins for Parkinson’s.

I forwarded your note above to a friend who had Parkinson!s. She replied and asked me about dosages. Can you give that to me or a link?
THANKS
I am just getting into it and will see Dr. Shallenberger soon.
Best
Hi Dr. Yoho: I have fibromyalgia. I am 71. Would GlyNAC help the inflammation in my body?
What Brand? What dosage? Please Reply....Thank YOU :-)
my sophistication is intermediate, so look at the sources. Consider hormone supplementation as well. Read Hormone Secrets.
I’ve just ordered some of both and will give this a shot
Glynac has arrived today. Waiting on the other stuff to arrive from overseas. Yay!
Excellent report thanks for the effort and for sharing information. Do you know if taking magnesium glycinate provides a source of glycine in addition to mg? Thanks
I think it is different
Is it ok to load your own caps if order the NAC powder? I mean will it still absorb and mix with the Glycine? Or load both and take at same time maybe so caps dissolve together at same time?
