More on Glutathione and Cancer

[Guest guest]

I do not have the biochemical expertise of some of our members here, so

if I make an error in logical deduction, please correct it.

In reading about glutathione and cancer, I see that cancer cells have

much higher levels of glutathione, while normal cells in cancer

patients seem to be depleted of glutathione.

I have read that taking whey isolate simultaneously drops glutathione

levels in cancer cells while raising them in normal cells. I've seen

several papers in this regard.

I also SEEM to be reading some information that ANYTHING that can raise

intercellular glutathione levels will have the same effect. Correct?

Or not correct? I.e., taking NAC, selenium, ALA, zinc, some C and some

E will raise intercellular glutathione which will actually strip it

from cancer cells. This MAY be wrong, however -- feedback needed!!!!

I also read on " Dr. Steve's " website that bloodroot works primarily by

stripping glutathione from ALL CELLS, both cancerous and non-

cancerous. At least, this is what he claims.

Of course, Dr. Steve, who seems very intelligent, is also saying that

the best cancer diet is heavy in meat and dairy!!!!

Mike, you said that glutathione levels are only important for those

considering oxidative stress on cancer cells (in terms of possibly

intefering with such therapies). Outside of chemo and arte, are there

any other approaches that introduce oxidative stress on cancer cells?
