Does negative reaction to glutathione = toxic child? Andy

[Guest guest]

Well possibly and probably. If he is low glutathione to begin with, he's toxic.

It stands to reason that his reaction means he's toxic.

Did he have a hair test? Assuming the doctor knew how to interpret the porphyrin

test and that the test was actually valid. Because there is a high rate of

failure with the test if the samples are not handled properly.

Hopefully Andy can also comment.

oh and anytime something is making a child progressively worse, it should be

stopped.

Suggest a DDI hair elements test with counting rules applied.

Does negative reaction to glutathione = toxic child? Andy

If a child regresses as a result of taking glutathione, can we conclude with

certainty that this child is toxic with mercury or other metals?

I am asking because I have a friend whose 8-yr son has been regressing for

several weeks. She told me that she has been giving him glutathione for a couple

of months so I suggested that she stop since this could be causing the issues

she is seeing in her son.

My friend's doctor has told her that her son has no issue with mercury or other

metals because his porphyrins is OK and he has no leaky gut. Now I know that

this statement is not necessarily true, but what I'd like to know is whether the

negative downturn since taking glutathione is only possible in someone who is

metal toxic? Obviously if this is the case, then my friend can conclude that her

boy would benefit from chelation.

Andy's view is that glutathione increases thiol levels hence mobilizes metals

and it's this metals mobilization that causes the negative issues.

Can someone answer, Andy perhaps?

I posted a similar question last month and didn't get an answer, so I will share

my son's profile to see if it helps answer your question.

I started him on glutathione on 3 separate occasions, each time resulting in a

virus coming out: pneumonia; hand, foot, and mouth; cold sores across the entire

upper lip.

Hair test:

Mercury <0.3

Elevated aluminum, antimony & arsenic. Definite toxic profile.

He has leaky gut, vicious yeast & constant bacteria battles.

I have been offered two reasons why glutathione may be an issue for him: not

able to handle sulphur & that glutathione may be removing metals, to which

viruses can bind and thus are being moved at the same time.

I am sure there are a lot of theories about the how/why, but we decided to stop

the glutathione and he got better each time. It did seem that the severity of

the reaction decreased with each attempt to add glutathione to our regime, and

it took less time for him to get healthy each time as well.

Good luck to you and your friend in unraveling this issue!

Thanks for your replies Jan, & Penny. I think that my friend may have

joined this forum now so hopefully she'll find more answers. She hasn't done a

hair test yet but is getting into Andy's books so maybe that will come.

Penny, FYI I found this post from Andy where he says that a child's virus-like

reactions are probably from glutathione (IV in this case) " slamming " the child's

immune system : http://onibasu.com/archives/am/56697.html

I'll pass the info along.
