My llmd wants me to get Glutathione a couple of times per week.

The problem is that I have no IV and I have terrible veins.

I have a SIL that is a nurse but she lives an hour away and honestly i dont know if she can do this.

I have a lot of experience putting in PICC lines, drawing blood,giving IV injections and regular /IV's in animals and I was pretty damn good at it.

I am wondering if I can just do this myself, I know my veins better than anyone.

I kinda feel like a junkie just thinking about it- "shooting up" glutathione or something.... [lol]

I mean if I can put an IV in a one pound kitten, I think I am qualified.

What do you think?

Merry,
How about the glutathione suppositories.

Someone posted this link recently:
Glutathione suppositories

quote:

Glutathione is considered to be the most powerful, most versatile and most important of the body's self generated antioxidants that is found in almost all living cells.
It is also considered to be one of the most powerful anticancer agents manufactured by the body.

Glutathione works as a detoxification, or chelating, agent which works to remove heavy metals and other common toxins that our bodies are exposed to on a regular basis.
It is also used to aid in treatment of liver disease, ulcers post chemotherapy brain fog and neurological conditions, as well as to assist in overall immune function.

Merrygirl,

I am in the same boat. My PCP wants to charge 25.00 per push, I bring the meds and supplies.

The doc who rx'ed the Glutathione wanted to "teach" someone in my family to give me the IV pushes. I am just not comfortable with that.

I give myself B-12 injections. but that is entirely different.

In your case, since you are experienced, don't see why not. My PCP's Parkinson patients do their own.

Merry, I also do glutathione cream, since I can't ingest it and IV doesn't go well for me either. Would you consider that route? Much more pleasant than rectally doing glutathione as well. Haha..
I also know of someone who has a glutathione humidifier. She breathes it in. I'm not sure where you get that but I can look into it for you.

Why don't you do the nebulized glutathione? You breathe it in, and it's the way LLMD's are using it now.

I inhale my glutathoine with a nebulizer. This is a treatment for COPD too. It has done wonders for MCS. That is gone after 28 years. I no longer "taste" things that normal people just smell.

The protocol is 100 mg/ml:

Week 1: 3 mls glut, one day of the week
Week 2: 4 mls glut, one day of the week
Week 3: 5 mls glut, one day of the week
Week 4: 5 mls glut 1 day, then 3 mls glut 4 days later
Week 5: 5 mls glut 1 day, then 4 mls 4 days later
Week 6: 5 mls glu 1 day then 5 mls 4 days later

I stuck with twice a week schedule for 1 year. Then switched to 3X per week because the MCS was coming back on the 4th and 5th day. The dose was also increased to 200 mg/ml.

Medaus Compounding pharmacy used to supply the glut in a multi-use vial. It must be shipped in a cooler with cold packs no matter where it is purchased from.

Bellevue Pharmacy Solutions packages the glut in a one use vial or screw topped tube that I dump in the nebulizer cup. This is more convenient for travel as I don't have to carry syringes.

Glut makes me sleep like a rock. I think they are doing studies to determine if this is an effective treatment for mild asthma too.
