Where were we? LOL. oh yeah, the body's main anti- oxidant! Some ways of obtaining or generating more GSH include : I/V pushes, oral GSH, or supps/methods to help your body generate more.

I/Vs seem to be very useful but expensive and can come alone or as part of a cocktail with other things like B12, C, taurine, herperin, etc. Like the Myers cocktails.

Oral GSH seems to be completely ineffective since not much survives transit thru our digestive system. Only abt 5% is bioavailable in such form. This has been changing with new liposomal forms of GSH which are 80-90% bioavailable. These are available in liquid form. Some precursors to GSH like NAC may be helpful to generate GSH in the body.

Finally, the much loved coffee enema. Lol. Supposedly it increases GSH production in the liver by 600-700%. So enjoy a cup of Starbucks while you're enjoying a cup of Starbucks if you know what I mean! !! Lol.

The Methylation Cycle generates Glutathione in the body. Genetic variants in the genes that govern the enzymes in the Methylation Cycle can impair the production of glutathione. Certain specific nutritional supplements can compensate for these genomic variants.

I also believe Lyme is capable of disrupting methylation even if one does not have genomic methylation variants.

How to be tested for genomic variants in methylation:

More details about Methylation Cycle Genomics:

Treating methylation cycle genomic variants requires the guidance of an experienced physician. It is unwise to undertake treatment without such guidance. Google "Dr. Amy Yasko" for more information (she's not an LLMD - she's an Autism specialist who treats via methylation cycle testing and nutritional supplements).

Yup, I have been doing the simplified methylation protocol for about 3 months now.

You can get a nebulizer and your doc can get the GSM through a compound pharmacy. That is another way that is supposed to be effective.

Doesn't the coffee enemas 'drain' you or make you feel a little 'brain dead'? Are certain supplements, or bile salts supposed to be taken when doing the coffee enemas?

No actually the coffee enemas energize me and lift some brain fog. My doc did suggest adding grade B organic maple syrup if you do feel drained.

I just wanted to say thanks for starting the new thread!! It appears that the gal that was trying to promote her wares here is now gone. I really appreciate all of you for being patient while I took care of that!

Thanks! smilewinkgrin

Hey Razzle,

thanks for that info

has anyone ever herxed from too much glutthione IV?

Wow,

The first thread got a little intense...

I agree that people should not promote things to people who are in need of help...Basically, praying on the people who may try anything and all for the love of money. Anyway, glad it is taken care of.

I just wanted to post that I have heard that like any other chemical, hormone, etc.. that if you put too much of it into your system it will shut its own natural production down. Thus, the importance of balancing the amount and the pro's and con's of using it.

I also wanted to say that today I have had terrible neck/shoulder problems. This could be from lifting feed sacks or something...I really do not know. I even thing, that since I had been told I have tendenapothy that maybe the Lev. is bothering me. I do not really know. However, I do think the glutathione helped this past week and I plan to get another one Monday but this week just strictly Glutathione.

Thanks

Yes, my doc will not give the GSH or Myers cocktails more than once a week so the body doesn't get used to it and stop it's own production. The idea with the I/Vs is to help with a runaway herx and to help jump start your own body's production of the GSH.

LOL. I've been meaning to get around to coffee enemas but can't quite convince myself......
