Re: glutathione: capsules vs. cream now NAC

[Guest guest]

About 10 yrs ago, I talked to Dr Swenson (he used to be a high profile

person involved in DS like Dr L. I forget his speciality.)I asked him

about the NAC and he did not think it would hurt a DS person to take it.

had been on NAC for about 3 yrs. He always had such breathing

problems. At first it shot up his SATs to a good level about 96%. But

during the next couple of yrs it seemed that he just stayed at 92-93%.

All during this time he did have many aspirated pneumonias. Finally

after reading many, many times that NAC causes oxidative stress, when

was relatively healthy period, I took him off it.

I was very surprised, amazed and saddened b/c his SATs shot back up

again to 95%. He has been off it now for almost a yr and his SATs have

stayed in the 96-97% Of course, he also had surgery this yr for an

undxd TE fistula that he had since birth) so the aspirated pneumonias

have not been an issue.

But I do believe the NAC did contribute to my son's breathing issues.

On another note, I am going to try the glut cream to further heal and

strengthen my son's lungs. There is an interesting article about how

80% of oral glut does get used by the body. www.vrp.com go to

articles about glutathione, it is the second one about 1/2 way down.

Janet, I feel dumb, but what does NAC stand for? I did look up and briefly scan the article you mentioned. I'll read it more in depth later, but I was glad to find that part about 80% of oral glutathione is used by the body. So, it surely ought to do some good. 's SAT's have been suprisingly good, even though he has an unrepaired CHD. He does not have pulmonary hypertension, for which we are extremely thankful. But I am concerned because of his chronic tight cough and wheezing that takes about 2 weeks to clear up, even with breathing treatments and asthma meds. His ped said that asthma in young children can cause permanent damage to the lungs. has an appointment to see a pulmonologist, on Mon. I'm hoping he can accurately assess the condition of 's lungs. I don't know what kinds of tests

they can do on a 2 yr. old. He can't blow in a tube or anything like that. My goal is to help strengthen his immune system and heal his lungs and keep medical intervention to the barest minimum possible. One mom mentioned that her child almost died from overdosing on asthma meds. That is kind of scary.

That is very interesting, Janet. That is what I've heard when I've read stuff about NAC, because when looking up info on glutathione, NAC often comes up! When I corresponded with Dr. Jill about this kind of stuff, she said it isn't totally clear what NAC does in DS because it hasn't specifically been studied in people with DS. But, she did say they are assuming it increases OS. WIth your son's breathing issues, sounds like it may have very well increased OS.

We use NAC for Phoebe’s

cystic fibrosis. It does many things, but for cf patients it helps to liquefy

their mucus so they can clear it out of their lungs easier. It has some

effect on the immune system response as well. I can tell you in my own experience,

it really does work. I had Phoebe on it for a couple of months and I ran

out. After two weeks of her not being on it, she started to get congested

and eventually got sick. She went back on it and things got better in

about two weeks.

Me too! I have also heard

it is a much better way to get the glutathione into the cells. I remember

reading something about NAC being a precursor to the production of glutathione

and when you have the NAC, the cells start making it on their own.

I think there were some

arguments about the glutathione not getting absorbed into the cells where it

needs to work. They say it is because the body works on a supply/demand

type system. When the body detects the extra glutathione (given as

supplements or creams) it shuts down the cellular production of it because it

thinks there is too much floating around, then gets rid of the extra. For

patients who are deficient, this of course defeats the purpose. By giving

a precursor to assist the cells to make their own glutathione, it is absorbed

and used properly.

That is the theory anyways!

Yeah, it is a much better way to get glutathione into the cells. NAC is a precursor product to glutathione, like you said. But, I've heard bad reports of NAC increasing oxidative stress in DS too, so. . . .

But, Phoebe's situation is a bit different than others because of her cf.

Hmm, that's interesting. I hadn't really heard that in regards to giving glutathione.

I use the cream on and don't know if it's coincidence or not but her asthma really got better. I haven't used it much this year as she hasn't been sick( up til the whole strep deal) and her asthma still is great.

I think Dr Cody would be better suited to answer that question. ;-) I only give 75 mg ( I THINK.. my bottle is MIA) a day. I use Kirkman's in capsule form and simply open the capsule up and add honey to it. It tastes nasty, but she knows she *has* to take meds, so not much fight there. I finally broke down and bought a small mortar and pestle for grinding pills to a powder. Pretty cheap really, and well worth the money! Never crush time release meds though!!!
