Have any of you ever had this in IV? Did it help?

Yes...it absolutely works wonders for me because I cannot detox. I now have it 1x/week. My husband has it 3x/week.
It helped me so much, I used to drive 1 and 1/2 hrs each way to get it from an Integrative Medicine Clinic...now, I can't drive 1 mile, but my home health nurse injects me when I get IM Bicillin.

Interesting. I'll have to drive 1 and 1/2 hour to get it. I wonder how often they'd recommend? I haven't even looked into the glut. much, but I'm glad I asked because it sounds like it helps. The Doc I'm going to see in about a month uses this on his patients, so we'll see if I'm a candidate. I'm sure I will be. Anything to help me detox would be great, as I'm tired of these toxins circulating amongst themselves... Posts: 631 | From the south | Registered: Nov 2008

I also use Glutathione suppositories which help, just not as well as IV...but still much better than nothing.

I get about 3 to 4 a month. I could get a couple a week but it cost too much for that. It relieves my aches and pains (feels like it reduces my inflamation) and it helps the liver and kidneys with detox.
I am on a lot of ABX and it helps me keep my liver enzymes low.
I might get one IV and see how that makes you feel. There is also doctor prescribed glutathione cream that a compounding Pharmacy makes. That might be a better option than the drive.
All the Best, MattH

Ellen: my PCP is an Integrative Medicine Dr, so he is lyme "friendly"...not freaked out by it at least. He also knows what Glutathione is.
I was going to his office every few days to get their nurse to inject the Bicillin. They got tired of that so, he wrote me an order for the home health nurse to inject Bicillin and Glutathione.
Thankfully, around here (the Southeast), the nurses just assume Glutathione is another weird antibiotic

I wonder if the Doctor that I'm going to see (that's an hour and 1/2 away) can write a prescription for the IV glutathione and I could get a local Doctor to give it to me here? (Just thinking out loud). It's been so long since I've been in any treatment. I'm out of the loop.
Is the "IV" glutathione an actual shot, or is it an IV where you actually sit there and have it go in for an extended amount of time?

It's an IV push...takes about 5 minutes. They can use a butterfly needle. My LLMD wrote an RX and I filled it through Infuserve.
If I knew someone in the medical field who knew how to do it, I wouldn't need homehealth to inject it.

I have taken it 3x/week for about a month so far...IV...so far, no improvement at all on it...
I know that it has helped others, though....

I get it often and it helps tremendously in many ways. Less brain fog, more energy, less twitching and numbness etc.
I drive pretty far to get it but it's completely worth it. It's an IV push so a doctor sits there doing mine. It takes about 20-30 minutes usually.
