I believe that a key point is that glutathione has a double function. (1)
General, as an antioxidant. (2) Specific, as one of the key liver detox
pathways.

For many MCS and ES people, the immune system has been seriously weakened,
and this is often due to one or more of the liver pathways being "broken".
If the glutathione pathway is broken, or has been seriously depleted by
overload from other pathways failing, glutathione will be needed. But if
this is not the case, any antioxidant will be equally helpful.

So glutathione can help some people and not others - my impression is that
it helps more than half of severe sufferers particularly if they are MCS as
well.

Glutathione precursors like Immunocal and NAC are a good idea, but they
don't work for everyone. In some cases the flaw in the body's metabolism is
that it can't break down the precursors to make glutathione.

Also some people suffer side effects - Sue found she got bad reactions to
both NAC and immunocal, so couldn't take them.

I've tried glutathione in the form of Immunocal (including Platinum). I
didn't notice improvement either. Ditto Goji berries, ditto flax oil,
ditto Mountain Rose spirulina, ditto Perfect Food & Primal Defense
(though they're good foods albeit overpriced).

The latest I've purchased is blue-green algae & I'll see what gives.

I personally find the most power-foods to be probiotic yogurt - good
old yogurt - especially Stonyfield. And eggs.

Finally, VOIPS (as I forementioned & based on my experience) are top
therapies most of which can be easily tried for anyone with convenient
access to balmy-sea locales. Unfortunately due to my circumstances I
don't. As for the Vibrational therapy, I know that genuinely helps
after my experience on backseat of bus, and I wish the following were
available affordably:

I'm also hoping to get a bounceback chair, but meanwhile don't have
room, since I haven't had luck selling furniture to make room for same.
