Hi
Regarding GSH - I get mine from iherb.com (much cheaper - use code BUT258 and get $5 off on first order). I have just started to use it. I have been told that it would work only if given intravenously. There is no proof yet of it crossing the blood-brain barrier if taken orally. I am going to try for a couple months and see. I would like to know if others have nay details on this.
Thanks
Ahsar

Subject: Re: Question re Amantadine use
Hi John,
I'm 56 and was diagnosed with PD in 2000, I've been taking Azilect and
Requip (Ropinirole) the nausea form the Requip is unbearable. I have
introduced to my regimen for the past 5 months or so, 'MaxGXL', a supplement
developed here in the US, by a US scientist and sold by a US
company. It raises thet levels of GSH in your cells naturally. It took the
GXL about a week to work on my sleeping pattern, I was waking up 2-3 times
during the night, now I sleep straight thru the night, and it took about
three weeks to work on my cognitive process but it was so subtle I barely
thought it was the GXL. I wasn't having problems looking for words to finish
a sentence, my memory is back, I don't lose things around the house, I have
more energy and I feel good and my wife is happier. It is strange, when I
asked my doctor about it he said Gluta what? it seems the medical community
is keeping the use of Glutathione (GSH) under wraps, they don't want
competition... I order mine from www.maxgxl.com/133282 I suggest getting
as much info as possible of GSH, I went to www.youtube.com and searched for
'The mother of all antioxidants', there is this doctor Mark Hyman who
explains in details about GSH; excellent video.
Good luck to you.
Ernesto,
Miami, FL
