Scientists unlock brain's natural clean-up system for new treatments for stroke

Yeah, the body-wide mucous thinning properties of NAC are one of the reasons it has racked up papers showing its efficacy in a truly staggering number of illnesses and conditions. (Including neurodegenerative diseases.)

Highly recommend reading the actual literature on its effects in regard to cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, COPD, neurodegenerative disorders, high blood pressure, ulcers, IBD, liver and kidney problems, OCD...

The list goes on at a pretty extreme length, and it sounds too good to be true, but the papers are out there.

Mainstream science has poo-poohed for years any notion that Oriental medicine practices for facilitating lymph flow have any utility. Nice to hear they're back on the allopathic table.

Very interesting, especially in light of the Chinese study’s claiming to have success with a large subset of Alzheimer’s by adding a shunt to the cervical lymphatic nodes, which seems to be exactly what they’re doing here too.

For those who don’t want to wait and have someone they love who can benefit from this, simply massaging the lymph nodes in the neck 10 minutes a day also significantly increases flow through these lymph nodes and thereby increases drainage of lymph from the brain.

I love getting my lymph nodes drained. Feels so good afterward.
