I was reading an article on how to increase your production of glutathione. At the end of the article in the comments section there were several glowing reviews about a product called MAX Gxl that is supposed to be help increase glutathione.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this and had good results?

I will be back with a link to explain why. There are much safer ways to help support the liver for glutathione production. Much safer ways.

For those with lyme, I strongly suggest absolutley NOT trying this because it contains:

L-glutamine

And

N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (NAG)

Though not at all about lyme, this is one of the best reference resources on my bookshelf that has wonderful chapters, many graciously available through their website.

Liver support is addressed frequently, and specifically for those with lyme, in the articles and books here.

It's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL (lyme literate) doctor who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -

- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present.

-----------------------

http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/13964

How to find an ILADS-educated LL:

N.D. (Naturopathic Doctor);

L.Ac. (Acupuncturist);

D.Ay. (Doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine);

D.O.M. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine);

Integrative / Holistic M.D., etc. (Be aware that those in this category can have various levels of formal herbal &/or nutritional education, perhaps even just a short course. Do ask first.)

Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:

Understanding of the importance of addressing the infection(s) fully head-on with specific measures from all corners of medicine;

knowing which supplements have direct impact, which are only support and which are both.

You can compare and contrast many approaches.

BASIC HERBAL EDUCATIONAL & SAFETY links, etc.

Be sure to avoid acetaminophen (whether alone or in other products). Even one dose can damage the liver's ability to produce &/or properly manage glutathione levels.

More detail about that - and what else can help:

My sister used to sell the MAX glx. It was set up like a multi-level marketing business. She had to keep trying to sign up distributors. Made me suspicious.

Plus it was expensive. This was about five years ago. I don't know how the company is structured now.

Also, when she was selling it, I couldn't find any third-party reviews of the product that said it is any good. Personally, I did not try it though.

Thanks for the input Keebler and Debilyn. The reviews did sound a bit too good to be true.

I used it for a while. It did nothing for me.
