Hi Ian,
 
Yeah I took antidepressant once & put me in bed foggy head, no energy. I could not handle it. Does Sue have her gall bladder. Mine came out in 1983 soit makes the liver have to work harder & thus age faster. Loni

Just for clarification - glutathione is more than just an antioxidant. It
is also a key part of the liver metabolism (Phase 2 detoxification - see
other messages in archive) which helps us break down various substances. If
it's missing, the body has to find an alternative pathway. If the other
pathways are exhausted, the substance can't be metabolised.

Practical example - glutathione helps to break down certain drugs including
SSRI's (antidepressants) . So when Sue was prescribed these when her glute
levels were low (unknown to us), her body couldn't handle it and she had
severe adverse reactions. Even common drugs like ibuprofen gave her
problems, whereas now she can metabolise them OK.

Hi Kooky,

Yeah, we would die without it. Or livers would shrivel up due accumulation
of toxins. It is the most important antioxidant in our bodies. Maintains
mitochondria function, suppports immune system, keeps cells running
smoothly.

A deficiency has a devistating effect on the nervous system which in my case
is highly accurate because of the ES.

Without selenium you cannot produce Glutithione. So it is good to suppliment
with this mineral.

It is also important for DNA sythesis & repair.

Inhaling with a nebulizer is a good way to infuse it. I like injecting it.
Really easy & quick.

I agree that oral is not effective. Loni

I can't remember where the results are, but they were very low, almost non
existent.

I would say that glutathione is one very important anti-oxidant, but there
are others. I read somewhere that if we are very low on glut, which is not
good news, other anti-oxidants can be very helpful.

I have to read up on this too, as low glutathione has been associated with
several degenerative diseases including cancers...

I read somewhere that taking milk thistle and artichokes also help raising
glut.
