What are the benefits of Glutathione?

You will soon be hearing a great deal about Glutathione and your health. That's because Glutathione is quickly becoming the new 'household word' in health.
    
Glutathione acts as an antioxidant, an immune system booster and a detoxifier. Often called "the Master Antioxidant" because all other antioxidants - even Vitamins C and E - need Glutathione to function properly.

"Glutathione can loosely be described as 'Food for the Immune System'."
                 
   - Dr. Jimmy Gutman, M.D.

Glutathione is clearly a vital protein that your body already produces, but many factors can cause dangerously low levels in your body, and thus create a compromised immune system. Low Glutathione levels can lead to:

- Poor liver function
- Poor immune system function
- Adult respiratory distress syndrome
- Damage from toxic substances, including medications

In fact, clinical evidence is beginning to link low Glutathione levels with the most common illnesses of our time, including cancer.
     Studies at the Louisville School of Medicine have clearly shown that Glutathione possesses the unique ability to slow the aging process. While Glutathione aids in the protection of all cells and membranes, a study at Harvard Medical School found that Glutathione is especially able to enhance immune system cells, protecting against damage from radiation and helping to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and x-rays and alcohol.
     As a detoxifier of metals and drugs, Glutathione also aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders.

How can you safely increase your body's Glutathione levels?
While scientists have known for decades about the negative impact of low Glutathione levels on our health, it took a long time to develop a proven, effective way to raise levels in the body.
     It's not as easy as taking a Glutathione pill. When ingested, the man-made version is lost in the digestive process and never reaches the cells of your body. The only way to raise your levels is to provide your body with what it needs to produce its own Glutathione.
     The answer is Whey Protein, which contains the building blocks of Glutathione.
     But not all whey protein is of the same quality. Since whey comes from milk, the antibiotics and steroids injected in cattle can contaminate whey products. Lactose and fat are also unhealthy components of milk.
     After many years of vigorous research, it has been learned that a safe whey protein product must contain a complex ratio of amino acids and active ingredients in order to effectively help the body produce Glutathione. It must also be created in the most natural of environments and contain the least amount of lactose possible.
     A patented whey protein concentrate product now meets all of these requirements. It also contains benefits similar to those of human milk (Mother's milk has long been known to be protective against many diseases, including childhood cancers).

For the first time, sustained levels of Glutathione are possible.
In a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology (87:11381-1385, 1999), our product was proven to raise Glutathione levels by 35.5%. In other studies, cancer patients using our product showed improvement in blood cell counts and tumor regression.

"Ever since I began taking this product, my energy has gone through the roof! I feel so great."

This product enjoys several distinctions that are rare for nutritional supplements:

- Highlighted at the World Conference on AIDS in 1998.
- Patent-protected worldwide.
- Listed in the U.S. Physician's Desk Reference and the Pharmacist's Red Book.
- Qualifies for reimbursement coverage under Medicare and Medicaid.

The Chemoprevention Branch of the U.S. National Cancer Institute has spent the last decade developing drugs to help diminish the incidences of cancer. Two of the most effective weapons in their arsenal are drugs that raise Glutathione levels in the body. Unfortunately, these drugs produce side effects and cannot be used long-term.

Using Glutathione to detoxify and taper off medications.
The liver is the body's natural detoxifier, and it's no surprise that Glutathione is most highly concentrated there. But the liver can easily become overrun with toxins and lose its ability to sufficiently release them from your body. These toxins come from the foods you eat, the air you breathe, and the medications you take.
     Doctors routinely use Glutathione-promoting drugs to detoxify victims of certain types of drug overdose. However, the pharmaceutical drugs that raise Glutathione levels produce side effects and cannot safely be used long-term.
     Glutathione is made up of three amino acids: glutamic acid, cycteine, and glycine. You may have heard that these and other substances, such as methionine, melatonin, lipoic acid, and milk thistle can increase your Glutathione levels. Some of these are slightly effective, but they usually cause side effects.

The Immunocal solution.
The product we;ve been referring to is called Immunocal. Immunocal is a health supplement that has proven to be effective in reducing withdrawal symptoms from medications, particularly psychiatric prescriptions, including Paxil, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Celexa, Prozac, Zoloft, Xanax, Neurontin, Ritalin, and Remeron.
     Read what patients say about Immunocal's ability to reduce medication withdrawal:

"I have been "drug free" since Saturday, and so far I feel great. This is the longest I have gone without taking either Paxil or Celexa in about four years and I have no regrets!... [Your product] really was the key to my success as I had tried to taper off many times before and never was able to do so."

"I had tried to taper off Paxil 4 times in the past. None successful. I've been using 20 mg of Paxil for 2 years and had been able to cut down to 15 mg a day but no further. The side effects were severe…. I AM NOW PAXIL FREE FOR 1 MONTH!!!!!! THANK YOU. I HAVE A LIFE AGAIN!"

"The "Pax-hell" has ended. I never would have imagined facing Christmas like this. I had been dreading this time of year. I now know more about my body than ever. The first time I read about glutathione, I said "what?" Still don't think I pronounce it right, but who cares. Thanks so much."

"I feel like a million bucks! Never better. I was literally dancing to the meringue in the outlet mall with my friend. This is from someone who a week ago was in bed for 2 days. I don't know what it is, but I'm a believer!"

"I don't want to get cocky, but it's been 22 days today without Prozac and I feel really good. I feel I'm over the hump, the last 7 days or so have been pretty good. Put it this way, I know I won't go back on it, I've made too much progress. I started in early March, so it took 3 and ½ months to get this far. I'm working well, feeling good and best of all NOT DEPRESSED except for a few minor mood swings."

"What an experience this is!... I'd really like to help this cause somehow in the future. I've never felt this strongly about anything."

Glutathione's detoxification properties.
Chemotherapy and Radiation Cancer Treatments - Raising Glutathione levels during cancer treatment leads to fewer side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, and even loss of white blood cells.
     Post-Surgery Recovery - Higher Glutathione levels speeds the healing process, reduces the possibility of infection, and helps to release drugs and anesthesia from the body.
     Protection Against Foreign Substances - Glutathione protects DNA and RNA from free radical damage, and it protects against cellular peroxidation caused by exposure to pesticides, plastics, benzene and carbon tetrachloride, as well as heavy metals, cigarette smoke, smog, drugs, solvents, dyes, phenols and nitrates.
