I made the trip to a LLD--yea! I sure appreciate being with someome more knowledgeable about tick borne illnesses.
One thing we're going to try is weekly i.v. of glutathione and phosphital choline. Have any of you guys had issues with these? Do they bind antibiotics? What has been your experience in helping/hindering recovery?
Looking forward to your replies . . .

Glutathione is the master detoxifier of the body and IV glut usually make me feel better for a bit. (Lightened my wallet though.) Then the effect wore off. Phosphotidylcholine -I was sold 6 oz bottles of it for $75 to take orally. Phosphotidylcholine is lecithin, one of the good fats. A much cheaper source might be some good quality organic eggs.

I've been trying to post about liposome enclosed glutathione but just couldn't get a post to show up.
Check out the following link and ask your LLD about it:
Has anyone used this product and what are your experiences?

Glutathione IVs saved my life early on by drastically reducing my inflammation.
Now my doctor has me on glutathione suppositories which she says are as good as the IVs and they are half the price and 100 times the convenience.
I do notice good effects with the suppositories.
Everything I have read says that oral glutathione is destroyed in the gut and not effective.
I don't have any personal knowledge of lymie-n-md's product, so do not want to make a negative conotation about it specifically. Just passing on what I have consistently read about oral forms of glutathione.
Oral precursors such as NAC and whey protein get high marks but for me, I never saw any noticeable improvement from the precursors.

I am curious about this subject as well. I do realize that glutathione is very important to our bodies.
My LLMD also wanted me to have the glut/choline IVs (also with phenylbutyrate) alternating with Vit C IVs.
I do have supplements that are supposed to help raise gluathione levels, but they are very expensive-- also from LLMD.
I don't want to invest in these unless I'm fairly sure it is worth it.
I know I can just take Vit C, yet I also know the amount I would get in an IV is much greater. But, not daily.
All so confusing, or at least overwhelming when trying to make the best treatment decisions.
