Glutathione ?

Hi Everyone,

My symptoms are fairly strong lately and I am very lethargic. Nerve and muscle symptoms seem to be the worst. I also have feet problem - mainly under big toes.

My first appointment with LLMD is getting closer - Feb 15.

In the meantime I was lucky enough to find Lyme friendly doctor and am taking doxycycline, flagyl, and have prescription for levaquin that I start tomorrow.

I am going to have glutathione IV therapy on Monday? I have read great things about it...was wanting feedback from anyone who takes it? Good results, not good, possible problems, etc?

I also started green Vibrance today and have started the salt and hydrogine peroxide baths.

Thanks

I do not have price or if insurance covers it but will know Monday. If you like you can email and I will let you know. I do not know that I am deficient but have read that Many people are ...I am low on Vitamin D.

How is your treatment progressing? I have been on abx for almost two months. Seems like things are worse than when I started. Hoping for the best-I miss my pre-Lyme life. :(

Understand,

I used to exercise my dogs (4 Cow Dogs) daily, go to Jiu Jitsu 4 x 6 times a week, work outdoors on the property, and always busy doing some kind of activity.

Anyway, we will get back to normal!!

As for the Glutathione ...the place I am going, Lyme Friendly, recommends treatment once weekly. I was also prescribed Low Dose Naltrexone that you may look into....it bothered my sleep quality but I am told if you stick with it that your normal sleep habits will return.

Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks

Sure thing,

I will keep you posted.,I know that they do the IV ozone and IV vitamin treatments too. I do not know about magnesium but will ask.

This is the first I have heard of the metagenix labs stool test...I will look into that too.

As for the bartonella, my first lab showed negative. Was IGeneX Co-Infection Panel. However, I speak to someone who is extremely knowledgeable on Lyme from North East and he told me I am showing symptoms and the co-infections can be harder to detect than Lyme.

When I see my LLMD I will get his opinion and am going to ask if I should order PCR tests.

I did weekly vitamin C drips for about a year, and they'd end it with a giant syringe of glutathione, which always made me feel instantly better. I can't remember how long it lasted - although I guess it couldn't have been longer than a week!

All I can say is that was the best I ever felt before finding out I had Lyme (my doc at the time was trying to treat CFS) - can't say for sure if it was the glut or the vit c helping the most, but I'd definitely give glutathione a thumb's up!

Just thought I'd also point out - someone mentioned on here a while ago that brazil nuts are an excellent source of glutathione - a pretty cost-effective alternative if you can't swing the IVs!

Most Insurance Co's will not pay as they say it is Experimental .. I take Lypo-Spheric GSH Glutathione by LivOn... This stuff works and is cheaper then IV drip...

Yes it is pricey... It helps your immune system to protect the body from germs and bacteria ..it's a good antioxidant and people like us with Lymes or any chronic Illness have lower levels of Glutathione ...there are glutathione creams also I'm just not sure how well they work and what brand is good .. There are patches also but they are like 77.00 for 30 patches ... Keep me posted on what you find out on this ... Thanks :)

Welcome Rhonda but you will have to excuse my skepticism here...your post and page look more like an advertsiement for a specific product...Plus, the fact that you show up on these pages and your first post is in this regard. Do you receive any financial compensation from this so-called product? Practically ALL scientific research that I have been able to locate on GSH is that it will not survive the transit through the digestive system to give benefit - absorbability is less than 5% when using oral capsule-based GSH. There has been some positive news on the oral front with liquid liposomal forms of GSH that can get up to 80%+ absorbability but these products are new and therefore, IMO, the verdict is still out on whether they're effective or not.

So, what is left is an I/V GSH push or trying to do something to help your liver produce GSH - these ranging from taking NAC supplements to doing things like coffee enemas. On your page, you never mention trying a GSH I/V for your son either - that seems strange that you would not try that first if you really thought GSH was the issue. I invite you to prove me wrong but it appears to me you have showed up here to sell a specific product. I hope I am wrong on this but experience leads me to think that I am not.

Moderators - what say ye?

Rhonda - I could not find the link to download your free E-Book - can you post a link?

My doctor at one point recommended I do a glutathione IV, but by the time I found someone in my city who did them, I didn't need it anymore.

All I know is that whey powder has similar stuff, but research looks like you don't really absorb it and you need IV to get the full benefit- but I never saw anything about cream pills.

Thanks for posting. I was looking forward to your update all week!! I'm glad that it helped you feel better somewhat. How long did it take start to finish?

Hi Rhonda,
Here's the problem - you know very little, or nothing of Lyme. I have had at least as many hours logged on Lyme as you claim to have on Glutathione. Believe me when I say, there is nothing on earth like Lyme and other tick-borne infections. There are similarities to other auto-immune diseases, but we have yet to get the recognition, research monies, or attention that other auto-immune diseases have and yet already - the number of Lyme Disease cases are growing each year faster than the number of AIDs cases. The repercussion of having this set of infections long term before getting the appropriate treatment, is a life long sentence - I have lived quite literally 40 years with an ongoing chronic infection and I have lost three organs, my teeth, and am left with a type of arthritis that no one knows about - Lyme Arthritis - that has twisted and turned my fingers and toes and has moderately affected my large joints.

The purpose of this forum is not to debate with others who don't understand what is entailed when living with Lyme and the other tick-borne infections. This site was set up to support those who are living with or a significant other who lives with someone who has the specified condition. It's a place where we come to be with others who understand our conditions. This was never supposed to be a debate area.

BTW - Did you know that Lyme regularly mimics Autism? Did you know that around 40% of children diagnosed with autism respond very well to a Lyme Disease protocol? That doesn't count all those that have been misdiagnosed with ALS, Parkinson's, MS .... and the list goes on.

So if you have concerns about you, your son, or someone else in your family having Lyme, then we would love to help you!!!! Otherwise, please respect us and our health issues. Please don't encourage anyone here to take a product that you haven't spent a bunch of time learning how it might affect someone who has a different health issue than your son.

I am truly sorry that I sound so harsh, but I saw that the only posts you have made here on this forum has been in this one thread. It sure makes it look fishy.

I'm sorry Rhonda, but I had to edit your post due to our rules here.
