you measure something and its deficent. what you don't see is the

host of other deficencies from missing building blocks like selenium.

a hair test will give an indication of missing buidling blocks

prepare to be upset. low glutathione is strongly associated with

heavy metals toxicty and an inability to excrete or detoxify them.

i'm stretching my memory a bit but whey and imumunocal were products

addressing glutathione.

> I know this is still fairly premature questioning, but I am

wondering if anybody has experience with glutathione deficiencies?

The Great Plains results seem to indicate something along those

lines, but what I have read on the Internet seems to suggest that it

is a milk derivative " and should be avoided by persons with milk

protein sensitivities. " Can anybody give me the skinny on this one?

Maybe it is not such a good thing that I postponed our trip to

Pfeiffer Treatment Center for testing until spring. I have heard

they do a good job of finding this type of thing out. Do you have

any thoughts or comments on where one might go or what one might try

to start working on the metals issue? I admit this is not a topic I

have researched yet, I have been busy with the ABA we are about to

start and the yeast issue that I KNEW he had practically since

cirth, but it took me a year and two doctors to get the

prescription!

Thanks so much for your help!

parents do best themsleves compared to any doctor or center in my

observation.

if the child tolerates supplements then a broad based approach using

minerals, vitmain enzymes and scd emphasis will be enough in most

cases.

a hair test will help you start to get a grip with the minerals.

ml

seleniums as per

http://members.tripod.com/mueller_ranges/links/as_links.html

thyroid minerlas are important for glutathione.

you will get far better results than pfeiffer by working through this

yourself.

you just start with one thing and see how it goes.

Elspeth,

I certainly think that helping our kids synthesize their own glutathione is

a critical piece -- possibly THE critical piece -- of our work to help

them. There are many, many substances that contribute to the synthesis of

glutathione. You may want to check out a presentation by Lang

given at last year's AutismOne conference. The attached chart is from this

presentation, and shows quite clearly that most of the roads of treatment

we've been using with our kids lead to glutathione. The full presentation

can be found at www.autismone.org. I'd post the full link, but the site

appears to be down at this moment.

In answer to your question, yes, I've given my son N acetyl cysteine, as

well as most of these other things on the chart. The trick is getting them

healthy enough to be able to tolerate these things. NAC particularly, some

of the kids cannot take at first. The key is using small doses, and

working to heal the gut and give the other things on the chart as well, to

nudge the body into better functioning on its own without overloading it.

Hi Elspeth,

What kind of a Dr did you consult to find out his glutathione levels were low?

It is interesting, because glutathione is the one of the amino acids they

recommend you supplement if you have mercury toxcity.

I am really intersted to know the type of tests they ran - was it a blood test?

Thanks,

Do any of you know of children who are similarly affected, and whether any of

We are doing glutathione through the DAN protocol. He gets it through infusions

and we use a lotion on the small of his back twice a day. He has been getting

the infusions for approximately 1 year. We do it every two weeks. Any other

questions, let me know.

It was through a blood test. My son's glutathione levels were tragically low.

Probably why he wasn't able to rid himself of mercury.

Hi ,

Are the infusions helping him? Is there any other things you are doing in

conjunction with the infusions? Is the glutathione creme a perscription?

Sorry for all the questions - appreciate your help.

Do be careful with the glutathione. While I've heard some parents have had

some good luck with it, when a DAN dr (who we no longer see) gave it to our

kids a few years back, it was a major disaster for both, and not just what is

normally called die off. That, super nu-thera, DMG/TMG and bethanecol/cod

liver

oil would have to be the most damaging things that have been done to my

children under the guise of sound medicine.

Maybe think about getting whatever labs indicate a need for it done first. I

guess in other words, It should carry a disclaimer....don't try this at home!

Even my two boys are soooo different in their biomedical needs.

Also, I'm not sure about Dr. G's stance on it.

Hello

Thank you for all your responses, and apologies to for not getting

back sooner with the information that the level is determined by blood test.

Am I right in thinking that the IV N Acetyl Cysteine dosage is according to

body weight?

I'm wondering whether there are any side effects, and whether there are any

cautions before we proceed. And how is the frequency determined?

I'd also be really interested if any of you can tell me about tests which

might indicate a leaky gut?

Here we go on the (vertical?) learning curve! Apologies if you have been

asked all this before, but it's great to know we're not alone!

Best wishes

Elspeth

I am sure the glutathione is helping in the fact that he is able to rid his body

of toxins and if I am not mistaken it is also helping with the absorption of

nutrients. The infusions are done in conjunction with the DAN protocol (Defeat

Autism Now). The glutathione creme comes from Lee Silsby Pharmacy in Ohio.

Their number is 1-800-918-8831. It is through a prescription. Are you going to

any particular doctor? If it is Dr. Goldberg, he might write a prescription for

it. Any other questions, let me know.

Could you elaborate on the glutathione. What was the problem for your child?

We have been doing it for over a year and there have been no adverse effects.

As for TMG, my son could not tolerate it even after trying to do NAET to

eliminate any allergy issues with it. What was the problem with Super Nu Thera

and cod liver oil? I am very curious to hear your feedback. Thanks

I don't remember the details but as I recall Andy says it's a bad idea.

Here's a link to one of his posts. http://onibasu.com/archives/am/166086.html

and the following is from the FAQs of this list:

Q: I’ve heard that glutathione, chlorella, cilantro, cysteine, MSM, NAC, garlic,

and saunas will chelate naturally, and that the natural way is better. Is this

true?

Don’t assume that because something is " natural, " that it is necessarily better.

As Andy has reminded us, strychnine and botulism are natural, and deadly. That

said, some natural remedies are excellent. LA is a natural supplement available

at health food stores, and it has been found to be a good chelator for mercury

and arsenic. You have to read about and study each one so that you have some

idea what you are giving your child. All of these remedies have been discussed

on the list, and some of our listmembers swear by them. You are encouraged to

inform yourself and make up your own mind. But here’s what Andy and Amy say

about them:

Glutathione – Andy: " Glutathione is not a chelator. Supplemental glutathione

itself is of very little value since your gut should digest it. If your gut is

not digesting it you will soon start taking other things to MAKE your gut digest

it because letting undigested things like glutathione into your bloodstream will

soon cause major allergy problems. "

Is this the coffee/glutathione enema or suppository you are referring

to? I'm wondering if the suppository method would bypass the

digestion/gut issue Andy warns about? Not that I wish to try it...

Any supplementary glutathione I've tried with my son in the past has

resulted in immediate disastrous symptoms: severe cramping,

diarrhea, emotional distress. I've only done oral; but both

lipoceutical glutathione (drops) and just plain old oral.

My son uses nebulized glutathione with great benefit. He is very

chemically sensitive. Nebulized glutathione is especially helpful for

recovering him from chemical exposure. We started it when someone blew

chemicals in his face at a Mad Science birthday party. His behavior

became immediately very mean and aggressive. Behavior problems

disappeared almost immediately when we started nebulized glutathione.

Also, my son had lidocaine at a dental visit and regressed to

aggressive behavior. I increased his nebulized glutathione dose and

got rid of the aggressive behavior right away. We've been using

nebulized glutathione for 9 months.

Our DAN! sees nebulized glutathione as an effective alternative to IV

glutathione. You can do a Genova test to determine glutathione

levels. Not everyone has a deficiency.

Some people would say to use NAC instead, but there is a lot of info

saying that this is contraindicated for mercury toxic people. My son

did horribly on NAC.

Jeanette, we're gtting more precursors per dollar by using the less expensive

undenatured whey isolates and concentrates than if we used Immunocal. It's

$180.00 per month for just 30 grams daily of Immunocal; the cheaper products are

about 1/8 the cost so you can use more.
