My son is trying so hard to get a doctor in NYC to give glutathione pushes but they all want $120.00 per dose. In my city they cost about $35.00. Any suggestions?

How about glutathione Nasal Spray(rx, compounded)? Insurance pays and I get this from my doctor in NJ(not lyme doc.--alt.).

A cheap way to get the glutathione in is to get an rx for little vials of glutathione to be filled at a compounding pharmacy that can be
nebulized. You would then either buy a nebulizer out of pocket (not too expensive, available on the web), or get it also rx'd and covered.
You can nebulize it for inhalation once or twice daily. It works pretty much as well as IV pushes, and is tons cheaper. Plus, you can do it whenever you want. I think it was 300 mg per vial in a tiny amount of saline. Good for the lungs, too.
If you have an IV line (I gather you don't), you can do the pushes yourself at home.

Yes, bring him back home!
Whitmore and Rumigirl gave you good advice.
I don't have anything else to add, other than bringing him home so he can get what he needs!

- Be sure he avoids acetaminophen as that can block glutathione production in the liver and also keep it out of all the body's cells that need it.
