My primary care doctor wanted me to start Liposomal L Glutathione from Seeking Health and then do a Great Plains Mycotoxins test after a week of being on the L Glutathione.

I started the Glutathione on friday night and woke up with an awful herx-like headache this morning.

Is this normal for Glutathione? I've never taken it before.. The headache is in the back of my head/neck area where I get pain a lot of time, so not sure if that's just flaring or if it's the Glutathione..

Do you have silver/amalgam fillings? The ACC guys claim you should never use glutathione if you have a potential metals issue

I’ve never had a bad reaction to liposomal glut but everyone is different. My youngest gets headaches right now from allergies unless she takes claritin.

It's common to feel awful at first on glutathione, especially the liposomal form (because it's more effective). Taking it triggers a release of toxins, so you are overloaded. That's why it's so useful before the test - it will ensure that the test detects whatever you have inside of you by helping you process out whatever you have not been able to detox yet. Many doctors have recommended liposomal glutathione to me, and they always say to start with an eight of a teaspoon and work up slowly, depending on what I tolerate.

Do any of you know if there is a reason to be concerned while taking it if you do indeed have almalgam fillings. I do and am taking it.

Thanks.

After 4 days on it I had temp of 101.4 and all over pain. I thought I was getting flu so went to Urgent Care.

Next day it dawned on me it might be the glutathione and stopped it and was fine.

I think it was due to mercury in system from teeth which were removed years ago.

L Glutathione, gave me either a severe herx or other negative reaction.

My doctor also had me start liposomal glutathione a week before taking the mycotoxins urine test. She warned me that it could cause a herx as the body starts to detox those mycotoxins.
