Re: Re: glutathione and constipation

[Guest guest]

I have mentioned taking glutathione to my doctors and they do not want me to

start anything until more research has been done, but I feel that it seems

to be helping so many and I would love to be able to use it on my 3

children. Has anyone else had there doctors tell you to wait for this

therapy. Is it something I can get on my own?

Yes I have been told the same thing. I did look into it anyway. I can't

remember the addy but type Utah Valley Institute of Cystic Fibrosis into your

search and you should get the site. I have decided to wait but a lot of people

are doing this.

My ds just had a checkup last week and when I asked about it she advised

that we wait too. She told us that the cf foundation will be doing a study

this fall.
