it's a shame a simple, inexpensive supplement ends up costing so much.... :( i have no first-hand experience or observation, but it occurs to me that whether the claims are exaggerated or not, considering glutathione can't hurt, what's the harm in trying? now the reason for delivering glutathione intravenously is that when taken orally, this tripeptide (composed of the 3 amino acids -- gamma-glultamic acid, glycine and cysteine) gets dismantled in the digestive system before it has a chance to reach, in its proper form, the body's intracellular fluids (where it works to trap free radicals and prevent oxidative stress). for what it's worth, the received wisdom is to load up instead (yes, orally) on the PRECURSOR to glutathione, namely NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine). along with glutamic acid and glycine, NAC is the intermediary in the conversion of cysteine into glutathione. ariela ==== > ive had the treatment...glutathione ..it seemed to help alot the first couple times..although only helping for about 16 hrs..which they tell u upront it may work for just a little while..u could have to get up to 4 treatments a week which could get pretty expensive, and insurance does not cover...or mine didnt...after the first couple injections it didnt seem to work as well...u can get someone that knows how to start an iv to do it for u and all it would be is the cost of the supplies and the med...i think the med for a month is aout 75.00..which isnt bad...the trips to let them do it is 75.00 a trip so if u go 4 times a week thats 75.00 x 4..after 1st consultationm fee of 150.00. its worth a try...hey anythings worth 1 try...good luck..donna > > > > > > From: ariela <[log in to unmask]> > > Date: 2004/09/10 Fri AM 02:47:40 EDT > > To: [log in to unmask] > > Subject: Fwd: Book/ dr. david perlmutter & glutathione > > > > the book is indeed "the better brain book" by dr. david perlmutter (practicing in naples, florida) who is big on intravenous glutathione (a supposed super antioxidant) therapy for all neurodegenerative diseases. > > > > you can find more info. here: > > > > http://brainrecovery.com/ > > http://www.perlhealth.com/index.htm > > http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/197 > > http://www.wholehealthmd.com/news/viewarticle/1,1513,1157,00.html > > > > best, > > ariela > > > > ==== > > > > > Has anyone here heard of the book "The Better Brain Book"?
