"Phase II Study of N-acetylcysteine in Severe or Critically Ill Patients with Refractory COVID-19 Infection (COVID)

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to see if the drug N-acetylcysteine is effective for treating people with severe COVID-19 infection who are in an intensive care unit (ICU) and/or on a ventilator

and in those who are not in an ICU but need extra oxygen to breathe. Doctors hope that N-acetylcysteine could help patients leave the ICU, be taken off a ventilator, or be spared from ventilator support and care in an ICU.

Researchers think that N-acetylcysteine could increase the number of white blood cells called lymphocytes in patients with COVID-19 and help them fight the infection. The drug is also used to help loosen mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive lung disease. The use of N-acetylcysteine in this study is considered investigational. It is given intravenously (by vein).

Eligibility

To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Patients must be hospitalized with severe COVID-19 infection.
Patients must be in an intensive care unit (ICU) and/or on a ventilator, or not in an ICU but receiving extra oxygen to breathe.
This study is for patients age 18 and older.

=====

First of all, here's N-Acetyl-Cysteine, which is no longer labelled a supplement but more like an orphan drug, as it's pennies for a 600 mg capsule at pretty much any vitamin shop out there. If you can't find it, the amino acid, L-Cysteine, can substitute for it.

With that piece out of the way, let's look at this experiment. They want to IV drip a human, up to 6 grams per day of NAC, the basic limit prior to toxic levels but look that the humans chosen ...ppl in an ICU on a respirator.

Hello! Isn't that too little too late? If anything, ppl should have been supplementing all this time prior to being on death's door with half of their lungs charred by cytokine storms?!

And yes, by supplementing daily, no one needs 6 grams per day. 600 mg to 1200 mg per day is more than enough to keep one's glutathione levels up esp when coupled with supplemental Thioctic Acid (R-Lipoic Acid)

In effect, if these ppl don't die of pulmonary failure, they're probably going to die of NAC poisoning of the same organ systems.
