Want to try glutathione patches as a listserve experiment

[Guest guest]

Okay, friends, I am willing to let my dd be the guinea pig for the

glutathione patches if one of the distributors is willing to sell

them to me for the distributor price. I watched all the discussions

expressing doubt about the patches because all the people who are

raving about them are distributors. I understand the skepticism.

However, I also understand becoming a distributor for what turns out

to be $5 in order to do a longer-term trial of them. That is what I

will do if I cannot get a distributor to sell them for the

distributor price for three months. Every dollar counts. But for

the sake of the list and everyone's curiosity, I would like to try

them without becoming a distributor who would seem to have a vested

interest.

Here's the deal though - the child who will be officially testing

them is not autistic. My autistic ds has done one blood draw and it

was the worst nightmare ever. His glutathione levels were fine, so I

will not do a follow up blood draw on him just to prove a point for

other people, even if I do try the patches on him I won't use him

as a guinea pig - he's too ill in my opinion. I also can't guarantee

that I won't be doing other new interventions in that time period.

I have four dc and all of them are celiac/gluten enteropathic (along

with both my dh and I.) Because of that, we have been doing follow

up testing to check for nutritional deficiencies and such. My 13 yo

dd did the Spectracell test and she did show up as deficient in

glutathione (along with other deficiencies.) We need to supplement

for her. Our doctor has recommended cream, but we are willing to try

the patches alone for three months to see if it raises her

glutathione levels. She will be cooperative with wearing them and

will be cooperative with the follow-up blood draw. I am skeptical

that they will work, but I am not completely closed-minded. I am

willing to risk her not raising her glutathione levels for three

months because she is not showing any overt signs of a problem and

she is not autistic. I don't think it will harm her terribly to wait

three months if the patches don't work.

If those of you on the list are interested in having me do this and

if a distributor is comfortable reselling the patches to me at their

cost (can you even do that? I don't want to do anything unethical)

or if the company itself wants to sell it to me at the lower cost -

whatever works out - I will do it this way. If not, then I will just

become a distributor to get the patches for less because I do want to

try them. I have never in my life participated in any sort of

pyramid company and pretty much hate them, but I need to save money

where I can. A family of six (one of whom is autistic) on special

diets and varying supplements is unbelievably expensive.

If we decide to do this, I will list everything she is currently

doing regarding diet and supplements, plus her deficiencies and the

exact number of her glutithione deficiency. Let me know what you all

think.

Blessings,
