My new LLMD doc recommended this for me 2x a week. I haven't seen any past posts about it.
Has anyone had IV vitamin C and Glutathione?

I know of several people using both and all are doing well. I did at one point too, but the Vit. C was too much for my wimpy system.
Glutathione helps many- except please be careful if you have babesiosis. My theory is the glut will increase the babesia parasites, possibly why one in 100 patients don't do so well with it. (Again, my theory- not proven)
I'm still waiting on my coinfection test to come back so I don't know if I have babesia yet. I suspect I do but won't mind hearing I don't.
I'm a little worried about trying a vitamin IV. I feel like anytime I tried to take supplements in the past few years I've ended up feeling worse.
My digestive system was really destroyed during my early lyme experience and I wasn't on any antibiotics either so they can't be to blame.
Maybe the IV aspect would work better for me since I would have to digest it.

I've tried both.
I love love love the IV glutathione. The day after the IV is the closest I can get to being "better".
I didn't notice much with the Meyers cocktails and the high dose vitamin C when I had it in the past BUT I had lyme at the time, but wasn't yet diagnosed.
So I was hoping vitamins would help my immune system. (When the prob was bacterial).
Good luck please keep us updated if it helps you.

IV glutathione works very well for me and I have B. Duncani and Lyme. I feel substantially better from it for about 24-36 hours.
I have done IV vitamin C as well. Did not notice a substantial benefit from that. I think vitamin C has an antimicrobial action so one would be more likely to herx from that.
Vitamin C can be done in an intramuscular injection so I do that at home to enhance my immune system and potentially kill off some Lyme.

My doctor highly recommended the IV Glut since I was/am such a poor detoxifier but I was unable to try it since I am allergic to Sulfa drugs. He swears by it so it might be worth a try. Don't have any experience with IV Vit C though as always, have heard mixed results. Good luck!

Anybody use Researched Nutritionals Tri-Fortify Orange Liposomal Glutathione. My son says this is the best oral.
