Quitting Glutathione Injections

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

I've been getting glutathione injections for almost 3 years now --

About 2ccs 3 or 4 times a month (that's all I've been able to

tolerate.) I have also been taking Immunopro whey powder.

I have no clear idea if the injections or whey have helped me. Due

to financial reasons and not wanting to travel each week to the

doctor for the shots, (I'm bedridden and travelling is brutal) I'd

like to try quitting the injections. I plan to taper off gradually

over a few weeks.

I have read with curiosity the recent posts on various ways to

administer glutathione. Creams, inhalants, etc. Should I try some

of these fancier things or is my whey powder enough? I was going to

increase the whey powder in lieu of the shots.

I've never been tested re: the levels or genetics of glutathione.

(Due to lack of finances and lack of knowledge as to where to

start.)

I'm wondering if the benefits of glutathione injections or whey

powder should be strongly evident and if they are not, one is just

wasting their money? Or, as it seems is the case in everything

regarding this disease, it will be different for each person?

On the day of my injections I seem to get very sleep immediately

after the shot. Then after that, I seem to get a little more energy

for the day, but I don't know if that is from the glut shot or the

B12 shot that I get at the same time. (B12 shots always boost my

energy.) But I do know that for sure that too high a dose of glut

injection causes an increase in my neuropathic pain (scalding

sensation on the entire skin of my body.)

Just wondering what I should do with all this glutathione business...

Any thoughts?

To be honest I would stop the glutathione. If it did nearly nothing

it's not worth it in my eyes. I mean if you feel much worse without

it you could start it again but as long as this is not the case I

would go other ways.

Hi,

I took glutathione injections for about two years. I started slow

then worked up to 1cc twice a week. I felt that I gained about 30%

functionality and it literally saved me because I was bedridden and

about to lose my job. I gave them to myself as I could not make it to

the Dr's office. I had a prescription and filled it at a compounding

pharmacy. (It was much cheaper too like $1 vs $10 per injection)

I feel like I did not continue the progress. I levelled off but I

kept taking the glut. injections for another year and a half. I

finally stopped and did not experience a crash. I think that I had

such a shortage but once I resolved the shortage, perhaps the extra

glut. didn't make a difference.

I tried ImmunoPro but could only tolerate 1/8 tsp every other day.

Still too much detox so I didn't keep up with it. Currently not

addressing this as I think the body system is broken.

Hi Marti,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. Very helpful and interesting to

compare. And wow -- you gave yourself the injections? May I ask --

where did you inject the glut into? My veins are so miserable even my

doctor sometimes can't get the needle in. We've tried everywhere -- on

my arms, hands, feet, ankles...

When I first started whey, it worsened my pain. Now it does not seem

to. I upped the dose today to see what would happen...

NAC works well. I had glutathione levels tested before and after i was

taking it. My levels were low before and NAC got my levels back to

normal.

Hi Dani,

They were intramuscular. The Dr. would not have let me take them home

if there were intravenously, I think. Anyway, I know there is

controversy about which method is best. I know that the intramuscular

was effective because of the detox which I struggled with for about 3

months.

So, I used a 3cc syringe with 1 " or 3/4 " needle and I injected my

thighs and my hips and rotated.

It was not hard, no pain at all. I could insert needle and let it sit

there - no sensation at all. After a while, I resented the injections

and felt extreme pain - my body was saying no. I was tired of

injections and supplements.
