96. If you're pregnant, make sure to stay away from "pro oxidant" anything

Sun May 15, 2016, 05:47 PM

May 2016

even ones that many are commonly thoughtlessly exposed to

that's the two line executive summary.

Vaccines used to use a preservative called thimerosal, which contains mercury. Mercury is one of hundreds of pro oxidant substances which we're still exposed to, although there is growing recognition of how bad that is. They still have not DONE anything.

One of the largest sources of mercury in the environment is coal burning power plants. Also, dental restorations made with amalgam.

NAC - n-acetylcysteine is an amino acid that is basically a targeted food, it increases something called glutathione.

Glutathione is our body's first line of defense against pro-oxidant chemicals. If enough of it is there, nothing bad happens, if there is not enough there, then bad things happen.

This is a basic fact they should teach everybody in high school, seriously.
