I recently read Outraged's Substack article1 about the relationship between NAC and amyloid plaques with references. Excellent article.
This sentence caught my attention:
Additionally, the findings suggest that the supplement could be used to both block precipitation of and break up the formation of amyloid plaque deposits, a common feature found in serious forms of dementia.
Amyloidosis by Mayo Clinic:
In general, amyloidosis is caused by the buildup of an abnormal protein called amyloid.
My tests
In a previous post, I showed some pictures of how I found network-like formations on the edges of blood test slides. I noticed these formations 2 years ago when I started testing my blood with a microscope. At first, they were very small, but now they've spread over a huge area.
I can see three different kinds of stuff: a yellow one, a white one, and a silver-colored liquidy thing. Here are some new pictures and videos of what they look like now:
I was thinking, that since NAC can break down proteins, I'll give it a try and see what it does to the network on the edge of the slide.
1st test (1 month-old sample):
For this experiment, I used a blood test slide that I had taken one month ago. The network-like formations were still there on the edges of the slide, just as I had seen them before.
I put one drop of water (1/a test) and NAC solution (1/b test) on the edge of the slide, where it could seep under the cover slip.
1/a test (water drop):
It looks like nothing is happening to the network. The water seeps under the coverslip, covering the outside of the network, but the network just pops back out, I guess because the water has leaked out or something like this:
1/b test (NAC solution)
Solution: NAC: 500 milligrams, distilled water: 1 deciliter (3.3814 fl oz.)
This is how I usually take it. Of course, one drop of this solution is a huge concentrated NAC for the small area on the edge of the slide.
Sorry about the video quality. My phone's autofocus is a bit of a pain. :)
Video caption:
00:00 - Untreated network
00:14 - 1 drop of NAC solution breaks down the network
01:20 - 3 minutes later, the network is still not rebuilt
10 minutes later:
It seems that some of the networks have been rebuilt, but not all of them.
24 hrs later:
It seems that the network has rebuilt in the area that is far from the edge, but it has not rebuilt at the edge of the slide, where it received a greater amount of NAC solution.
A beautiful NAC crystal at the edge:
2nd test (fresh blood test):
In this test, I used the same strong NAC solution that I used in my previous experiment. I put 2 drops of blood on a slide, and I put the solution on the cover slide. This is a huge amount of NAC for just 2 drops of blood. When I drink NAC, it never reaches this level of concentration in my bloodstream.
When I looked at the sample, I could see that the network was already starting to form. We can see all three types of material (yellow, white, and silvery liquid):
5 minutes later:
It looks like the NAC solution had reached the edges of the slide by this point and had broken down the network. Those gray spots at the start of the video are NAC crystals. 00:09 - The network that had formed earlier disappeared, but a gel-like substance started to form.
5 hrs later:
The network was completely gone, from all edges of the slide, but the gel-like substance started to grow. The lines that you see forming in the gel as it spreads are just blood plasma channels. They're formed by the spreading gel pushing the plasma around. These channels later disappear, as the gel merges into a larger piece.
01:58 - The gray spots are NAC crystals themselves and RBCs that have been coated with NAC crystals.
Summary
In this experiment, I used a high concentration of NAC solution, which is not found in the bloodstream. The high concentration was visible from the NAC that precipitated out of the blood plasma, the gray color of the blood plasma, or the gray coating that the precipitated NAC formed around the RBCs.
Based on the observations, NAC breaks down all three substances (yellow, white, and silver liquid), and it did not rebuild 24 hours later. I think NAC may be able to help reduce these networks in my blood samples. However, the right amount of NAC consumption is a good question.
I have also consumed NAC last year for a couple of months, 500 mg per day. In this case, the networks also were present on the slides, but there were fewer networks in the samples maybe because the NAC had already broken down some of them.
I'll show you more about how NAC affects those gel-like areas in the next article.
Great microscope work here, this is an important data point.
Keysi. .. Your work is incredible. We all hope we see more soon....
