My nephew will be starting aerosol glutathione that will be inhaled through a nebulizer. I understand that it has a sulfur smell to it. He is holding on to lots of metals and his little body is showing many signs of chronic Lyme and coinfections although still a happy and active boy.
Do you have experience with this form of glutathione? Any recommendations? Where is the cheapest place to get it?
Has anyone tried the transdermal form?
My son tried the IV form and after a while it was too expensive and he became hyper on it and wouldn't sleep.

I got it from Infuserve America, they had the best prices.
I started with the nebulized glutathione and have switched to the IV form since I can do it faster since I now have a port.
Glutatione is a great help. I only notice a difference if I use it about twice weekly. It helps reduce herx symptoms. Reduces the joint pain, body aches, and general fluey symptoms. If I don't take it I start to feel miserable (like now, I ran out of my RX for 2+wks...).
The nebulized form does stink and it kinda feels like it gets hung up in your throat. It will probably make you cough at first then you get used to it. I guess that's pretty normal especially when you start and are needing the detox. It was also stinky with the sulfur smell but you get used to that too as the treatment goes on. I realize that my description sounds bad but it is not. Obviously I continued treatment.
I would recommend the glutathione. It helps.

I don't have experience with the inhaled form but I tried the oral form and had a horrendous reaction. First a headache which would not go away and then it turned into the worse migraine of my life. Hours and hours of intense pain, then vomiting. I almost went to the ER, it was that bad.
I wasn't expecting this at all since glut was billed as something that would make me feel better.
My LLMD thought it might be due to sulphur toxicity. I wanted to mention this because I saw that you said your nephew might be loaded with heavy metals.
So, if he tries it, please have him start with very small doses and then work up v. gradually. I am so glad I didn't try the IV form and I would hate for a little boy to go through anything like I did.

Thanks Sammy and WPinVa. You helped a lot.

I've been using lipisomal [sp] form, and yeah, it is sulfury tasting.
I combine it with vitamin C, and I think it's helping me quite a lot.

Glutathione suppositories are another way...
Posted by ktkdommer (Member # 29020) on :
I did read about lipisomal and suppositories as options. Any form but plain old oral I guess will work.
Is there a blood test for gluathione?
We take NAC and ALA hoping to increase glutathione the cheaper route.

I use the nebulizer for glutathione. It's pretty easy and doesn't smell too bad at all to me. I can't say if it's helping me or not since I'm on so many meds and supplements. I get it through Lee Silsby. I understand you're supposed to do it in the mornings. I do it twice a week.

My DD uses oral glutathione with alka selzter gold for a herx. She can tell an almost immediate relief.

I didn't know they had an aerosol form (don't know much about it). The first time I did a glut push version I loved it. It gave me a euphoric feeling. I was happy for days.
The next time, good feeling, but not like the first time. Then the third time, I got depressed and started herxing right away. I tried it one more time to be sure, and the same thing happened (depressed, and herx). So, I can't take it anymore. I may try again in a few months.
