As per Dr. H's new protocol, I had my 5th IV Glutahione treatment today. I've titrated up to 800 mgs on my way to 2000mgs. The drip takes about 30 minutes and I find if I talk to others in the clinic, the time passes quickly. While I don't feel anything yet, I will say that I get a dose of clarity after the treatment. According to my LLMD, chelation is an ancillary benefit of doing IV Glutathione.
I'm going to give it a month and see how things pan out. Any other Glutathione buddies out there have experiences to share?

I'm taking glutathione as recommended by my LLMD as a supplement called Immunocal. I've posted this before. I don't recommend their cost nor their multi-level marketing scheme. But the glutathione may be helping with my sinus and ear problems. The jury is still out. I'll post again when I know more.

I have been taking 1cc Glutathione/ATP injections IM mixed with 1/2 cc Lydocaine. I get them from Dr. H and Dr. S in Houston. I have been taking one a week for over a year. I think they do help in reducing symptons or I would not be doing it at $11 a pop. I don't have a prescription and I usually buy 6-10 at a time. They will even ship them to you.
I was a little apprehensive about giving them to myself, but after a couple of times it became routine. I inject in the back hip area where the nurse first showed me. Never tried the thigh. I have done them with and without the lydocaine. It's a much better deal with the lydocaine ($1) more per syringe and less pain and soreness.
If anybody finds a cheaper source out there, let me know.

Thanks, Cheryl

I'd love to hear more about your experiences. I started taking NAC (precursor to glutathione) about a month ago, on Dr. H's orders. My symptoms immediately reduced in intensity, but I also started having severe relapses. If it wasn't for the NAC, I'd have been stuck at home for weeks.
As it is, I'm able to work part-time but feel bad, with a new set of symptoms from what I had before. I've never had muscle aches, but now my arms and shoulders are constantly sore, and I have all the "flu" symptoms, like a sore throat, sweating, and general malaise. Again, this is much better than it could have been without the NAC.
If you have similar symptoms, maybe this is herxing. If not, I'm worried that the NAC stirs things up, or else my abx protocol is not strong enough to handle a busier life.
