Glutathione reduces oxidative stress, decreases inflammation, and modulates T cell responses in lungs. Hence it is an excellent natural substance for treating conditions of lung inflammation, pneumonia, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, etc. and it can also work well with asthma.
I used it myself following a bout of severe pneumonia, where it hurt to take a deep breath or inflate my left lung fully. I felt a marked difference after the first session, but after a while, it wore off. However, as the treatments continued, the expansion in my lungs remained for longer and longer periods. You will also get the overall boost to your immune system by inhaling it through your lungs as well.
Here are some good articles giving some solid scientific research behind this effective natural therapy:

You can see lots more articles by entering this search term into Google: inhaled glutathione for lung inflammation
UPDATE: Another therapy that’s worth a try is to put hydrogen peroxide into your vaporizer at night. This is a very easy, inexpensive therapy. I also used intravenous hydrogen peroxide to clear up my pneumonia – but intravenous treatments are expensive and take about 2 hours to administer. So this is a home remedy you can try and see if it improves your situation:
Put 15 ounces of 3% hydrogen peroxide to every one gallon of water in a vaporizer and just let it run all night.

So where do you go to get glutathione inhaled where find some that provides this thearapy.I have had Pneumonia in march and need something that will open up my lungs and assist in healing them. Get back Thanks rod
Hi Rod,
I had the treatments done at my naturopathic doctor’s clinic. You can rent nebulizers and do it at home – but you’d have to do an internet search for where to purchase the glutathione. Also, get the one in the baking soda base – it’s more soothing for the lungs and is also anti-fungal, so there’s a double benefit to the baking soda base.
If you decide to do it on your own, please post here again and let people know where your sourced things from.
take care,
Jini
I’m on my second round of glutathione treatments with a nebulizer 3x a day for a week which I did rent. 200mg.. Given to me by my naturalpathic dr. I will probably purchase one as this will be something I do for the rest of my life. Its a fantastic way to get this anti-inflamitory anti oxidant into your body. I’ve been an asthmatic all my life, 45 yrs., and the first time I did this I was free of all my meds for three months. Couldn’t believe it. This is a miracle substance and I will share this with all I know suffering from and lung ailments.
Hi Debbie, that’s great!
Well done and good for you for searching and trying natural treatments instead of more drugs.
take care,
Jini
I have been using Sublingual Immunotherapy. The allergens are collected from the patients home, etc. Both airborne allergy patients and asthma patients with airborne triggers have been greatly helped – some completely symptom free for more than 15 years.
The glutathione taken via a nebulizer is most interesting to me. Did you take 200mg each treatment, three times a day for one week?
Thank you,
Mark Tillotson, ND
Hi Mark,
I had 600 mg (3 cc) per treatment. Intitally, I had one treatment per day, for 5 days. Then 1 treatment every 2 days for 2 weeks.
A year later, in the winter, after a particularly stressful period, I felt the same tightness/end of breath wheeze so I went in for one more treatment and have been fine ever since.
Is the sublingual immunotherapy homeopathic?
take care,
Jini
Sadly, I cannot get my asthma under control like the first time I used it back in Sept. Last year. It does help some after each session of 2cc in a seringe.( i think thats how to explain it) I do about 3 sessions a day through my rented nebulizer. Also, an occasional altering with H2o2 liquid which helps kill pathegens.. Will be seeing the natural dr. in a wk. Having to use my inhalers again. I’m very sad about this. Thought I finally found the natural help I needed to control my asthma brought on by an illness back in early Jan. But I will find the problem and it will be fixed.
Hello Jini,
The SLIT that I employed for my patients is not homeopathic; although the initial dose is unpotentized 1X. Naturopathic SLIT can be done homeopathically.
Homeopathic pharmacuetical companies do sell potentized allergens. Boiron is one and may be available in your health food store. Unfortunately, allegens specific to your region and activating your immune system may not be included.
Today’s, About.com/allergy has info on SCIT and SLIT.
Dr. T.
Mark – thanks for posting that, so others can find out more too.
Debbie – you have a great attitude. Yes, there is a natural solution to your asthma and you will find it if you refuse to give up. Tips: look into whole-body health, not just lung/asthma treatments, since asthma is a very multi-layered problem (in my opinion). Also, have you tried EFT?
Go to http://www.emofree.com and type in “asthma” and it will pull up some very interesting articles for you. I’m sure you’ll get some ideas from that.
all the best,
Jini
i live in NJ and suffer with emphysema for the last 8 years. i’ve tried different supplements that has helped in different ways,now i want to try the nebulized inhaled glutathione. i’ve read so much on this product and i think it will be very beneficial to me. the only problem is i can’t seem to find it in NJ. i can get the prescription, but can i order from you.how much is a 30 day supply with shipping? waiting for reply
Dear Debbie:
I have had asthma all my life. Since going gluten free, I am pretty much asthma free ( I have gone probably as much as 6 months without using my inhaler). Overall I am better when I avoid dairy as well. I am going to start the glutathione and will let everyone know. My father was a smoker so I am concerned about permanent damage to my lungs. I find if I do have an irritation I can also breathe in frankincense and it makes the lung contricting go away with out the meds. Eileen
Hi Sidney,
We don’t sell glutathione in our Health Shoppe, but here’s a good source for it (they used to make our FissureHeal suppositories, so I know they’re a quality pharmacy):
http://www.apothecure.com/glutathione.php
Just phone them and I’m sure they can help you out.
The other thing I recently read about that’s great for lung conditions – actually, I will add it to the original blog post above, so everyone can read about it.
all the best,
Jini
Hello, I too have asthma, (adult onset). I used a nebulizer with xopenex as I don’t want steroid inhalers but 3 days ago I stopped breathing and went to emergency and have to take a Prednisone burst, Xopenex and Flovent 2 x day plus I was given Oxygen. It’s scary. I cried because the Doc said I have lung damage or scarring and 2 months ago I was told my lungs were perfect. I caught a very bad cold and have been fighting it for a while and it got worse suddenly that’s why my asthma worsened I believed. I went to a Naturopathic Doctor but I don’t believe this one was that knowledgeable. I don’t eat dairy at all, a total vegetarian and eat healthy, lots of probiotics, etc., I feel great, energetic but my lungs need help. I tried to get the Naturopathic Doc to prescribe me Glutathione, but she wouldn’t and of course the Medical Doctor wouldn’t give me something that’s harmless that would possibly help me. Can I get it myself? Or, can I make it myself with glutathione supplements and put it in my nebulizer? I am not going to give up either, I will find a cure for this! Thanks for this great forum!
Hi everyone – my wife has a severe breathing problem, which the doctors are calling asthma, and wanted to treat with prednisone, flovent, etc. Being a student of kinesiology and EFT, she didn’t feel this was the right answer and started oral H2O2 treatments, and then found a doctor who prescribed liquid glutathione in a nebulizer. I’m curious as to how long you have experienced the treatments taking before you feel the effects (and see improvement). She has been taking them now 2x/day for about a month and is miserable, her condition has worsened, she’s up all night coughing, wheezing, and it’s incredibly painful to watch her suffer and be powerless to help. The cough now racks her entire body, and she has to force the inhaled glutathione down. As soon as she starts to breathe it, her body reacts with a hacking cough. She has to control her breathing to limit it to only the lower parts of her lungs (belly breathing) or else she cannot get the medicine in. Any experience you can relate would be greatly appreciated. At this point she’s stumped all medical professionals (traditional, naturopaths, and otherwise).
Hi Matt,
No, she should not be reacting like that. I would say that the glutathione is not helping her and she should stop it. The oral hydrogen peroxide will only help if her problem stems from pathogenic infection – if not, I would stop doing that too.
Personally, I would focus on SERIOUS EFT work, from a very skilled therapist. Trust me, there is a world of difference between doing it yourself, and also results obtained from practitioner to practitioner. This I know from experience.
She should book a free 30 minute consult with my therapist – Annabel Fisher ( http://www.efthealingcentre.com ). As Annabel has healed herself of a chronic illness (she was wheelchair-bound with CFS) she REALLY understands the layers and different facets that come into play with a condition like your wife’s. I would encourage her to commit to 10 sessions and really go for it. This is what I have done with Annabel and seen phenomenal results – my husband even goes to her now (and you know how resistant guys usually are to anything like this).
The other thing I would try is for her to go on high dose probiotics from Natren Inc. (ONLY this brand) – go on my site and sign up for my free Probiotic Report – as I suspect this would be a corollary to her condition. High dose means:
1 tsp of each powder (Digesta-Lac, Bifido Factor, Megadophilus), 3x/day
OR
1 Healthy Trinity capsule, 2x/day
OR (most effective):
1 tsp of each powder, 2x/day
1 Healthy Trinity capsule, 1x/day
If she has more than 3 bowel movements per day, then she must use the powders only, not the capsules.
Well, if you try these 2 things, let us know how it works…
all the best,
Jini
I have asked a Naturopathic Doctor here in Shasta County to prescribe Glutathione but she wouldn’t and of course the Medical Doctors won’t either. I ended up in the emergency two times for asthma and not being able to breathe, short of breathe. They wanted me on steroid inhalers, which I refuse. I found a natural medication called “Intal” or Cromolyn Sodium. I first purchased it over the counter in a Nasal Spray call Nasalcrom and it worked for me. It was created by a Doctor that had asthma. He discover an herb called Khellen and found that a derivative from that herb would stop the allergic reaction (Mast Cell Stabilizer) that caused asthma attacks. It is now a prescription and it works for me. I too coughed all night and had shortness of breathe of an on, kept up constantly by coughing. It takes about a week to work but I have no side effects from this medication and since I began have actually been sleeping every night without asthma. The last week I have had a little shortness of breath but never like before. I believe the over the counter version was discontinued because it was so effective.
I know a guy with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who went from 66% lung function to 98% lung function. He used something that helped his body make glutathione. This is much more effective than taking glutathione directly either with oral pills, patches, or intravenous injections. The benefits of having glutathione INSIDE each cell, where the mitochondria are and ATP is produced, are much greater than bathing the extracellular areas. This same product, by raising intracellular glutathione, has broad spectrum positive benefits. I have another friend with Hepatitis C who takes the same product and feels better than he has in 33 years (the length of time he has had Hep. C). I’m working with several doctors to expose them to this new nutriceutical and encourage them to provide it in their storerooms.
Hello,
I found the answer for me. I had asthma severely, in the hospital 2 x in April and just September almost went back. As a result of taking all of the Albuterol (Xopenex) and other inhalers I began getting anxiety attacks. A vicious cycle with Clonzepham (the Dr. said it was not addicting) I quit in September, against the Doc’s advice and felt better quite rapidly after that. First, in September when I was at my lowest point, I found a “Precursor to Glutathione”, it helps your body create the Glutathione which is the bodies master antioxidant and in every cell we have and the company took 25 years to find out how to create a safe product to stimulate the creation of glutathione in our own bodies. . I found a product that has been scientifically studied and has 70 patents and is still being studied in longitivity trials. You can find at my site at http://www.immunocal.com/shasta (I joined for the 30% discount as it is expensive). It gave me energy again. Look at the testimonials all over for asthma, copd and emphysema.
2 weeks after I started that product I added one more product for my breathing and the Doctor told me to nebulize it 4 times a day. The results were felt almost immediately. I was astonished at how fresh the air felt once again (like when I was 21 lol) I also joined this company as it is free to join through December 30 ( and I also get a discount). It is also a precursor to glutathione. This product is a miracle for me. I no longer require rescue inhalers every 6 hrs., no steroids or steroid inhalers! If I have to use my rescue it’s 1/2 dose watered down with hypotonic sea water, and now, most days, I don’t even need it. I can exercise. I am breathing at night, sleeping, no anxiety and this is honestly what helped me the quickest! This helped me more than any natural product I have ever tried in my life. I also wanted Inhaled Glutathione which is available at http://www.apothecure.com and other compounding pharmacies. My naturopath told me that she used it for asthma and it didn’t work for her. It works wonders for some however. I now believe that a precursor to stimulate the glutathione in my own body is most effective. You can purchase glutathione but it doesn’t as your body will simply digest it and it will be eliminated. Too many studies have been done on the subject. I even took NAC supplements but they didn’t work at all. Here is the site for the spray, please read the testimonials. I hope it’s ok to put the web site on here. If not, please excuse me. I just want everyone with this horrible illnes to get free from the devastating side effects of feeling like your suffocating all the time. Here it is: http://www.naturalbalancecore.com/balance
It is a bit expensive, it’s from Spain, created by a group of forward thinking physicans and one here in the USA. The good news is that it will be here in the USA soon!
Hi Kathy and Jan,
I believe the compound you’re referring to that helps the body produce glutathione and used to both protect the liver and reduce lung inflammation (particularly for cases like COPD and asthma) is N-acetyl cysteine (also just called NAC).
cheers.
Jini,comment #19what is the something this guy used to help his body make glutathione?I have 48% lung function sure would be nice to use this.Thank you,and inhaling glutathione is this a good thing?????
Hello Ashes, Yes NAC is a precursor to glutathione and I have also taken that but it didn’t give me the results that the inhaler spray gives me. It might have been helping, but I didn’t notice much. I have tried and used so many products, but this is a first for quite immediate results and the good news is that I have been able to cut down my usage little by little. The ingredients in the product I now take are:
Organic aloe (Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f.), Sea water, Green tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Royal Jelly, Ginseng (Panax ginseng CA Meyer), Propolis, Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), Zinc gluconate, Extract of Soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.), Glutamic acid, Cysteine, Glycine, Vitamin A, preservatives [Nipagin (E216), Sodium benzoate, Nipasol (E218)], Grapefruit Seed Extract (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merrill), De-ionized water. Sorry this is so long but the ingredients are wonderful too. I love this product! It has literally changed my days. I can hike, ride my bicycle and even get a bit out of breathe. Some days are better than others, but I am improving all the time. Please know that I also eat very healthy. (I mess up too) but I eat dairy products, no white sugar, no sodas of any kind, I drink at least 8 glasses of water per day, I take Chlorella 2 times a day, I am a vegetarian, eat lots of fresh veges and sometimes I juice. My oxygen went down to 46, I was on oxygen, now it’s in the closet, so I know there is help for all of us! I took charge of my health and made a decision that living was more important than my taste buds. Yes, I have heard (for some people) that inhaling glutathione can also work wonders, for some not.
Sorry, I meant to say, I eat NO dairy products. I will eat a bit of goats cheese and real organic cream one x per day in my one cup of delicious coffee (my treat for the day).
Sharon, looks like Jan has answered your question. And Jan – thanks for sharing so much info and detail!
If any of you try Jan’s recommendations and get success (or not), please post here so others can benefit from your experience…
Some people inhale glutathione with a nebulizer. This is for people with severely diminished lung function, like Emphysema or COPD. Some people get glutathione injections. The only problem with all these therapies is that the glutathione cannot get inside the cells, the molecule is too big, so it literally bathes the extracellular fluid only. This has some positive benefits. But it is preferable to actually make glutathione inside the cells, so it can go to work protecting the mitochondria, making more ATP, and basically doing its antioxidant function. It does this better than any other antioxidant in the body.
Yes, “Ashes,” one of the precursors in our product is N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), the rate limiting factor in glutathione production. We have other precursors and cofactors that help our product be preferentially absorbed through the intestinal walls. There is no glutathione in our product, because, as many of you know, glutathione taken orally is broken down and eliminated. Our product is the raw materials to allow your own cells to make glutathione.
Our product has a Composition Patent, very unusual in the supplement market, and Clinical Studies on humans to back up its claims. I’d be glad to discuss this further with anyone who wishes to know more. I’m in the Alaska time zone, one hour past Pacific time zone, 907-457-8080. Please only call between 9 am and 9 pm. Thanks. You really can’t eat your way to enough glutathione, or take fully formed glutathione and have it work efficiently for you. As we age, we make less and less glutathione, while at the same time, our oxidative stress is rising.
I just looked at the Immunocal link provided above. The claims from this company are that Immunocal raised glutathione levels 35.5%. The average rise in glutathione in our study subjects with our product was 292% over the full Clinical Trial. That’s more than 8 times better! Our product has the greatest opportunity to effectively raise glutathione in not only people with disease, but in normal, aging adults who are looking for better health. This is why so many medical professionals are beginning to use our product and recommend it to their patients. See phone number above.
What product are you speaking about Kathy? I use Immunocal and I love the product. The company is in Canada and the product has been proven to boost Glutathione, has 70 USA patents as well as over 25 years of research and clinical studies, 80 international patents worldwide and has over 80,000 scientific clinical studies completed and is still going strong. Immunotec Immunocal is listed in the Physicians Desk Reference as well as The Canadian Drug Reference for Health Professionals so it has been written as a prescription. I am curious to know what product has all of these credentials and more. Do you have a web site?
Immunocal really helped me, increased my energy levels, made me feel more balance, however the product that really changed my life, totally, was the Refensal. It gave me almost immediate results that I could feel (I could breathe -hooray) and even though it doesn’t have all patents, the product has worked wonders for me and I am now seeing the same thing happen to a dear friend with COPD who is on oxygen 24/7. She was actually able to stop the oxygen for the first time in over a year for 6 hours, to play with her grandson! I am so happy for her. Refensal has been a gift, and honest there has been nothing that I have tried that has given me such results, so quickly. I can’t say enough good about it. You are also welcome to call me regarding Refensal at 530 605-3353 or you can read about it at http://www.naturalbalancecore@gmail.com/balance, click on Refensal at the top and then Clinical Cases.
Hi everyone and thanks ever so much for all of your posts.
My mother has been helped profusely by the inhaled Glutathione. I guess after reading what has been posted here, she may be able to take it more often than 3 x a week. Nothing helped her asthma and emphesema for long until she was put on Glutathione by her natural doctor.
Due to the changes it makes for her on the days she takes this, I will ask her doctor if he will bump up the prescription to every day. After taking Glutathione, she actually can go 12 hours without her breathing meds. Her drugs have side effects which she could do without.
The Glutathione relaxes her as well which tends to lessen the asthma attacks.
Please help us. Our mother is 87 years old and has asthma, emphysema, 3 open heart surgeries; quadruple by-pass year 1992; ahorta replacement 2001; tricuspid and matrivalve 2007, pace maker plus diabetes and high cholesterol. She does not sleep well.
Thanks a lot,
Mikki
Mikki, I’m sorry your mother is uncomfortable. Can I call you? List your number here and include what time zone you are in. My phone number is 907-457-8080 in Alaska, one hour west of Pacific time zone. Please call only between 9 am and 9 pm. There are several different ways to get glutathione into the body, but minimal ways to actually allow the body to produce its own glutathione. This last method is the preferential way, as putting “glutathione” into the body does not get any glutathione inside the cells where it is needed the most.
Great post here.
I am new to this site. One of my specialties is respiratory health and have worked with high tech babies (all are on ventilators or breathing machines) and I have to say, the little science about what I am going to suggest is really positive.
So here is first the old complimentary alternative medicine and then the new. Only thing, I am just starting to research the new and do not have any data to present. But you can do the research yourself.
The old…
Everyone should know that the lungs and the mucous membranes are the only way to absorb glutathione. Otherwise, in the gut it is broken down and of little benefit. Yes, glutathione is used by doctors.
There are a few alternatives to glutathione that involve taking the cofactors.
On http://www.glutathionediseasecure.com/inflammation-in-the-lung.html you can find some of the options. Actually, using the various forms of cysteine (NAC or N-acetylcysteine is a supplement and a rescue med in the hospital and in asthma medications) does work good.
If you are taking it on your own, make sure and take vitamin C to prevent kidney stones.
I feel supplements are essential. Not a single patient in the hospital is not on some kind of supplement. Some of the doctors I have worked under even prescribe gum chewing and black strap molasses, yes, actual doctors orders in the hospital. And these are big teaching hospitals.
I believe there is a better solution.
The New…Which is actually the old repackaged
It has to do with diet.
By avoiding the pro-inflammatory foods and increasing the foods that boost glutathione and other nutrient needs, it may be possible decrease if not eliminate the respiratory problems some are facing.
I have just started the research but if interested, start by looking at the live raw food diet.
When I first heard this I was thinking, hmmmm, eating live raw vs dead raw chicken.
Actually, you can still eat dead animals. Only thing, you need to eat a 75% raw and live (uncooked) diet.
I put this out to all of my friends who are into the supplements. They said naaa then said that they had various raw food delicacies and they were fantastic. Things like unbaked apple pie and chocolate moose with out any milk. Everyone agrees that the were surprised.
More importantly, the health benefits were also there for those who started this kind of diet.
As to the supplements…there is a theory…unless as a treatment or as a rescue med, do not take them every day. A dependency builds up and then you cannot get the nutrients from foods as needed because they are so easily obtained from the supplements.
The raw food movement backed my theory up as they do not eat the same food for more than a few days in a row. Best case, only eat any one of several of your foods for the day once in seven days.
We will always need and benefit from supplements. However, there is a new weapon in the arsenal of disease fighting armaments. It is called raw food.
Good Health to you.
Jonathon, Your additions to this site are interesting, but the rate limiting factor in glutathione production within our cells is cysteine. You cannot eat your way to get enough of this fragile molecule.
Call me (907) 457-8080 or (907) 888-9437 to see about a Clinically proven supplement that raises glutathione intracellularly up to almost 300%. It is the precursors and co-factors (in a specific composition) that allow your cells to make glutathione, and this supplement is one of less than 15 in the country with a Composition Patent, which the US Patent Office awarded because it is so unique.
I live 1 hour west of Pacific time zone. Call 9am-10 pm. There are over 91,220 articles on PubMed now about the importance of glutathione, which begins to decline significantly at age 20.
Hi Kathy,
Am already familiar with your MLM product. Actually there are several Glutathione (GSH) boosting products on the market right now. One, a crystal that you use tape to your skin even claims to boost GSH.
As to not getting enough nutrients from food, well, that is a logical fallacy that is promoted by the MLM industry. Actually, there are no high level studies that prove or disprove how much we actually get from food.
Are foods depleted in nutrients? Absolutely according to the studies. But, as a scientist, I have to ask, who did the studies? What were the studies.
So how do we go about making a hypothesis?
We look at anecdotal evidence. In the hospital for instance we know that some foods will totally negate the effect of warfarin sodium (Coumadin). Hmmmm, foods are depleted but studies show that, at least in this case, they can mess up the medicine.
We look at black strap molasses. There may be only one other food that has more iron. There are no studies that says it will boost your iron count although Geissinger Health System is considering doing such a study. Even though it comes from the same sugar cane fields that have been growing sugar cane for generations it still works to boost iron stores.
How do we know. We give it to our patients who refuse blood and their counts come up. They come up drastically. They come up as good as and in many cases I have seen, even better and safer than when given the IV form or iron supplementation.
Even better, unlike the iron pills, which are one of the leading causes of poisoning in very young children and binding up older people with little absorption, this food serves as a stool softener while providing more absorbable iron and is safe for children.
The reason for the profound effect is phytochemicals. Supplements cannot include these. These are only in live foods and are fragile.
We also know that processed foods have lots of chemicals we need to get rid of. OOops. Eliminate the chemicals and you eliminate part of the problem.
http://www.glutathionediseasecure.com/detrimental-diet.html
Now, as to how good your product is.
Do you know what the best supplement to boost your glutathione is? By far, the absolute best, bar none, is the one you will take and the one you can afford.
If you will not take it, then it is of no value. If you can not afford it, then you will not take it.
Don’t get me wrong here. I believe in supplements. Especially for treating and as rescue medications. Especially using them instead of drugs. But in the hospital I see the side you never see.
I see what happens when people overdose on nutraceuticals.
I see what happens when people self medicate with supplements and get it wrong. It is not often but at least once a month. Remember, if they got into the hospital, it has to be bad.
And I have seen people die from the misuse of these (not yours).
Also, there is a credibility concern. In science, we need peer reviewed studies. I have done studies and my employers have done studies. But non of these are published by peer reviewed journals. This is because to have a high level study it needs to meet some serious requirements.
One PhD doc friend of mine created an all natural allergy lozenge that was clinically trialed at my hospital. I read the results and it was 100% successful. The requirements were that the patients could not have been on any allergy medication for the past six months.
I even interviewed some of the people.
Only thing, this study is worthless as it is not peer reviewed.
Curious but all of these products, studies or not, cost about $60-$75 per month. http://www.ulteriorhealth.com/2009/12/10/glutathione-gochi-maxgxl-natural-cures-and-common-sense/
Remember when things cost $19.95 on the TV. These companies are all about marketing, the right price point and making a new crop of MLM millionaires.
Sounds like you are on your way.
Feel free to contact me and tell me more. I love learning about GSH. I would be happy to add this to my list of ways to boost GSH.
But my money is on improving our dietary intake. Just starting to research it but it seems to make a lot of sense.
Good health to you.
Jonathan – thanks for sharing your great info/experience! Can I get some more details on the blackstrap molasses usage?
How much do you give adults/children?
Do you give it straight off the spoon, or dissolved in warm water?
What times of day and how many times per day do you give it?
Is it better to take it on an empty stomach?
Is your PhD friend selling the allergy lozenge anywhere? If not, is he willing to share the ingredients for people who want to make their own? Dr. Jonathan V. Wright does this with formulas he invents or discovers – he doesn’t bother with the clinical trial process, he just makes it available to his patients and sells the ingredients needed in his dispensary. When people find it works, they will tell tons of others!
best,
Jini
Jonathan, There are peer reviewed studies to support the research I mentioned above, and phytochemicals can be in supplements. Flavonoids are phytochemicals, and these are in several of our formulations.
Glutathione supplements that are transdermals, patches, intravenous, or glutathione pills do not raise glutathione intracellularly, where 97-98% of it is needed. This is where the mitochondria are; the ATP producers of the cells, as you know.
If you want to discuss this further, email me or call me: kathy.tayloryokel@gmail.com 907-457-8080, or 907-888-9437, one hour west of Pacific time zone. Medical professionals from diverse disciplines are embracing our glutathione enhancer because there is irrefutable science to prove its efficacy. The US Patent Office awarded it a Composition Patent, usually reserved for ethical drugs.
Good luck with improving your diet to help your health. Many people are already doing this and need assistance with the potholes in their nutrition to improve their health. Complex information cannot be given or digested in a 30 second TV commercial, hence the reason for our business model.
This forum is a valuable tool for people to get more information that they can then follow up on. I only post information that has Clinical Studies and peer-reviewed articles. For those who are open to improving their health, there is hope. Contact me.
Namasta Jini,
First to Kathy,
Great. Post the studies right here. I did a check again and could not find any specific to the product I assume you have on PUB med or any of the major journals I read from time to time. Please post them here. Everyone will appreciate the science.
As to the patch and the crystals, I am not promoting them. However, although they are not in this country, their pitch sounds like they plagiarized it from your pitch. Only thing, they were out before yours was. One has been around for a long time. Again, I am not promoting them and they (dont know if they still exist) are from the other side of the world from the US.
Remember, you are preaching to the choir. I am already on board, lecture about it and teach it. The difference, I have no economical interest in promoting it as I do not make any money from promoting it. My interest is economically unbiased. My interest is only in the science.
I have personally used a few of the products and have got doctors to prescribe the ones that are in the physicians desk reference. The results were outstanding and had the doctors and nurses bewildered. One said she had never seen anything like it.
Now to Jini…
On Black Strap Molasses….
Unfortunately there are no studies so far. One Pennsylvania Hospital is thinking of doing a study since they use it with their patients.
Here is the best part…how many people do you know who are suffering with low red blood cell counts? Could this be a simple solution.
One word of caution…if you are allergic to sulfa drugs, get the un-sulfured. However, it may be that the sulfured helps with the increase in GSH as well which may be a part of how it works.
All the treatments and supplements, what if it was just increasing our intake of foods that were rich in sulfa compounds and we could boost our GSH just from our diet. We just do not know.
We give one table spoon black strap molasses mixed with one table spoon of peanut butter (protein) three times a day. I try to get the families to bring in organic if possible.
It can be taken however it is best liked.
Also, vitamin C, B6 B9 (folic acid) and B12. Here I have been after the docs to just give a B complex but for what ever reason, it does not happen.
Now, 200 mcg of selenium is being given. If you like Brazil nuts, two a day will do the trick.
As to kids, you will have to ask your grandmother. It was an old doc that first suggested this to me. He said it was given to kids years ago as a stool softener. He then told me about the iron. He said, “To bad it is not on our Formulary.”
One of my hightech babies was given it by her mom. It was a teaspoon in the morning when she was 1 1/2 years.
About the same time as this doc told me, I had my first bloodless patient with a blood count of 2.9 (13 to 15 is normal), the lowest I ever case managed. The EPO or Procrit was not working. I suggested it, got the doctors order it, ran out on my lunch break and bought it from a local grocery store, got the pharmacy to OK it and gave it. His count came up by 1 gm per/dL in less than 24 hours and in just two days he was starting to get some color (from being white as a sheet).
Even the hematologists were impressed. You need to understand something here. There is a joke, “Do you know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn’t think he is a doctor.” Well there is a version that a doctor will tell, “Do you know the difference between a hematologist and God?” (at least at the hospitals where I have worked).
The next patient, a hour drive away (I was called in as consultant and Patient advocate) and she came up 1 gm a day every day till she hit 8 which was safe for her and as high as she ever got.
The rest of the stories are about the same or better.
If the teaching is up to me, unless it is critical (blood count less than 6.5) I tell the patients to only do this two to three days on and two to three days off. This prevents the body from getting used to getting the iron from this source so that it works less to get it from others. Remember, it is the other natural chemicals in foods that also have a part in our health.
To eat or not to eat at the same time…do not know. Generally, I tell patients not to do this within 2 hours of coffee. Coffee is great, esp if without cream or sugar. But it does affect the absorption of some things, so this is just a best guess. No science.
As to the science, there are studies that show that iron can improve the creation of GSH. So this is a win win with out the nasty side effects or risk of iron supplements.

Next….
Dr. Bruce Laird, PhD created ACF Complex, the allergy cold and flu complex. He is planning to market them. He does not have a website up. I will try to get his address and post it. I live an 1 1/2 hours away so will have to wait till I am in the area.
He has a bunch of interesting natural inventions. Many doctors use him. His breast cancer “cure” rate is slightly above my previous hospital employers. They were 80% and he was 82%. That is not what is interesting. One of his patients did both his treatment and the chemo at the hospital. Her CA numbers were within the safe zone in 6 weeks instead of the normal 13 of chemo therapy and she never lost her hair, she never got nauseated.
More on Dr. Bruce later.
