hi ella ….this is an interesting and very long sort of compendium of the kind of stuff we’re interested in, although, she says you can’t take N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) on an empty stomach …i’ve never heard that before and in fact, i do that a few times/week but she mentions ‘oxicell’ cream and that’s one i haven’t come across …i’ve taken calcium-d-glucarate ..you know, maybe a few times a month ..as a detox, mostly. 'N-acetylcysteine is an excellent source of sulfhydryl groups and is converted in the body into metabolites capable of stimulating glutathione synthesis, promoting detoxification, and acting directly as a free radical scavenger.'  here’s 2more i think are interesting flaxseed benefits and a very tedious study of the lignan/bacteria thing i seem to recall miss ellen or christri talking about flax and a necessary healthy gut flora 

i buy whole seeds and grind them in an electric grinder, then i open a capsule of these probiotics into the flax meal, stir, add juice for flavor, water, stir and drink a la miss ellen. it’s a lot to down but i want to know how this is going to work with me and so far, so good. i take it in the AM on an empty stomach. it fills me up. i know you’re interested in this subject and it seems like i keep coming across articles that emphasize the essential symbiotic biological life we have with trillions of microbes that live inside us and all the stuff that they metabolize for us that we can’t for ourselves. my god we are so weird. i'm a bit torn to be honest because i know these weaker estrogens although protective do compete with our more powerful estradiol, so, maybe, it's another good thing in moderation, you know, like really good but not everyday. i know i'm learning more because i feel stupid. and as always, the more i learn, the less i fathom. learning always made me realize how little i understand. so, really, i should feel pretty good about myself. so confused.

Sololme first off THANK YOU for posting that article . Seeing caffeine raises estrogen 70% is a slap in the face but one needed. Gotta stop. Esp now . Let alone the 2 drinks alcoholic raising another 30% Mannn I needed to see this so thank you. 

Next question why do you fear flax? Competing with estradiol? Don't we WANT that? Estradiol promotes the bad stuff.. or are you concerned for long term health ie estradiol might not recover? Or you're trying to keep done estradiol circulating so taking flax meal only off and on?

Yes I have NAC at home . I must take. It was part of my gut bacteria pprogramme
