OT: glutithione . . . summer

[Guest guest]

Hey Summer! Your posts are very informative. Do you have any suggestions for

supplementation for a 17 mo. toddler? Elle is currently getting td-glutithione,

but if I could help her body do it by herself . . that would be better. She

has leaky gut and heavy metal toxicity. I know that you mentioned vitamin c in

an earlier post. Would something like that be good, or due to the sensitive

nature of her gut . . . could it be too rough on her gut? What about the rose

hips that you mentioned. I am a little leary of citrus since she is still young

as well as highly allergic to numerous foods.

Thanks for the input.

Re: Glutathione

This is definitely a question to discuss with your doctor.

Elaine believed that the body could only recognize and use its own

glutathione. She believed this because the studies done to date show the

same result.

While transdermal glutathione raises glutathione levels in the body, the

body will not recognize it as available glutathione for use. Some doctors,

though, claim it helps stimulate glutathione production.

Meanwhile, some recent studies clearly show the best way, supplement wise,

to stimulate glutathione production is by increasing vitamin c in the

diet...It has the same effect in raising levels of natural glutathione

within the body.

There is also a rate limiting nutrient, an amino acid, that the body uses

in the manufacture of its own glutathione..NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine), as well

as small amounts of ALA in the form of foods like extra-virgin olive oil.

Reducing toxins in the diet also helps to free up the liver as well,

healing wise.

While we had basically non-existant levels of glutathione, we are getting

increasing levels from frequent, very small dosing of Ester-C.

Has your doctor run an amino-acid profile?

Would Elaine approve of supplementing children with glutatione along

with the SCD? It appears from her writings that she believed that

your body can only use it's own glut. If you can/should supplement,

how much (6 year old) and in what form? ~Jill
