What is Glutathione, why is it an intergral part of Recovery?

Simplified summary:

Glutathione is a major antioxidant, fighting disease process, by reducing free radicals activity. Many suffering physiological trauma such as from Vaccines, ADRs from medications, in particular CNS symptoms from neurotoxicity, ensuing disease process, either environmental or iatrogenic, resulting in oxidative stress, have very low Glutathione or dysfunctional GTSM1 Glutathione Transferase CYP Enzyme.

The mechanism involving Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) plays a very important role in cell metabolism, cell signalling, BUT, if there is accumulation of free radicals, as well as dysfunctional detoxification Pathway I and Pathway II in the liver, it may result in cell death, and ensuing disease process over the years.

Nitric Oxide, (NO) a free radical, if allowed to accumulate, also contributes to disease process over a period of time, including, worsening of symptoms from neurotoxicity.

NO plays a major role in neurotoxicity, as well as the immune system, and physiology/biochemistry.

Scientists over the years, have focused on devising protocols to help lowering cell death from a rise in NO, and ROS. The general consensus is that there is if ROS is not kept under control, cell death and mutation will lead to inflammatory process and disease state.

Raising Glutathione and taking antioxidants are crucial in assisting recovery from ADRs.

Those undergoing chemotherapy in Germany, are also administered Glutathione IV, to avoid toxicity. If unable to tolerate Glutathione IV, other protocols such as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of GSH, Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), Vitamin C, Selenium, and Zinc, are gentler options.

NAC is often administered in hospitals to those suffering from dysfunctional/failing kidneys prior to contrast dye and other radioactive compounds to avoid toxicity.

The next post will include more information on Glutathione, AntiOxidants, gentle detox protocols, and the role of prevention through managing ROS and other Free Radicals.
