Glycine, glutamine, and cysteine can be used by the body to make

glutathione. They also can be used for lots of other things.

The thing with glutathione is that it is often not good to get too

much at one time, like with a glutathione IV. The body knows how much

it wants and there would be a feedback mechanism to stop production

when there is enough. The body would never flood the system with

glutathione like an IV would.

Transdermal glutathione probably doesn't flood the system as much as

an IV would but I have heard of people having problems with that,

presumably because of too much of a good thing all at once.

According to " Amalgam Illness " if glutathione is given orally it would

be broken down during digestion or it is possible that if the person

has a leaky gut fragments could get through and start an immune reaction.

My 8 yrold son does nebulizer glutathione 1/wk. Would this be a problem if I

start ala chelation?

It is ok to take glycine and glutamine. Some might find some cysteine

and some enzymes and get converted to glutathione, and that would be a

good thing for you. It is when glutathione is given in large doses,

like by IV, that it has the potential to cause problems.
