I started pushing 2g of Glutathione three times a week today with my IV antibiotics, and I am amazed at what I am feeling. There are a whole lot of reasons why it is good to use glutathione, but I never thought the first dose would be like this.
I was curious with any others that have used this. I am real interested to see how the next couple go. Most of my major symptoms left are neuro related. The IV antiobiotics, have definatly made a difference, I have had significant herxs and I can tell Bb is on the run, at least some of it is.

i am on my 2nd week of glut. i.v. push and have definately noticed a difference. I was able to do real paperwork for the first time in months last week and I noticed a decrease in pain.
The only side effect might be that I am more tired....slept 14 hours today.

I have had only one IV push glut. and was astounded at the overall sense of well-being I experienced. It reduced my pain and the good effects stayed with me for days!
Dr. got me the glut. nasal spray and while I felt slight good effects, it couldn't compare to the IV. For that reason I have not reordered the nasal spray. ($$$!!)
Some here have bought the glut. capsules and emptied the contents and placed it under the tongue for sublingual absorption. They reported good results. I haven't tried that yet, but plan to.
I have an upcoming llmd apptmnt. and am going to ask for another iv push. Great stuff!

Wish I could say the same thing happened to me. My alternative medicine doc and staff were amazed that I seemed to worsen immediately after the 2 pushes I had. They said everyone else loved the stuff and thought it was the best thing there was. But me, I apparently had a bad reaction.
I got really weak feeling. Really brain fogged and out of it. Took a day each time to get over it.
Don't know why. Anyone have a clue?
Same thing happened with glut added to injections. Not quite as intense, but the dose would not be as intense either.
Can anyone comment on this ... someone told me that having mercury toxicity could cause a negative reaction to glut. I couldn't find much on this. Does glut pull mercury out of the tissues or something?
I am getting ready to have my mercury amalgams looked at for possible removal. Just wondering if there is any relationship.
Also have low sodium and chloride. Read on a site by Klinghart (sp?) that this was an indicator.
More and more, I am convinced that removing the mercury will be a good thing. Just wish it was not so expensive.
Thanks to anyone who can comment on any of this.

Me too. I did the push and 2.5gms IV and it made me feel so foggy I had to stop. It did lower my Mercury level, so for that, it was worth doing.

Both my son and I did not feel well after two glutathione IV's. So we did not continue them.
My thoughts were that it caused a herx. We did not know we had Lyme or mycoplasma p. at the time. I have one other lymie friend who reacts that way to glutathione. The compounding pharmacist told her it was causing a herx.

I definatly had the feeling of well being. While glutathione does not raise the levels of dopamine or sarotinen, essentially spreads it around, which is a good thing.
I felt like my thoughts were clearer several hours after, dont know if this was a wishful sign, or a real sign but either way it was good.
I could see people with extremely high metal counts possibly feeling sicker afterwards, just because of the binding and moving around within the system.
I have been having a steady herx with the IV Primaxin, but it feels about the same this morning. The big thing for me was the feeling of well being. It was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I get the same feeling with the adderal, which I really dont want to take. That in itself makes the glutithione worth it for me.
We will see how the second dose goes Monday and how I feel the next couple of days. My insurance is covering the injections, with a normal co-pay, so it is well worth it for me. The normal cost would have been $300 a month for 2g 3 times a week. It has to be compounded and then diluted with 10ml of perservative free normal saline, then pushed over 10 minutes. Just a small change to the routine.

I get dizzy every time I do a glutathione push before my IV C and sometimes nauseas.
Couldn't figure it out. Now I know.
I had 10 amalgams in my mouth and it was pulling the metals out of my brain!
I recently had them out and I still get a little dizzy, but much better.
I would not do IV push Glutathione with mercury in the mouth. I will redistribute the mercury elsewhere in the body. Same with DMPS, DMSA. A no no with mercury still in the mouth.

Right after I had the glut. push last week I felt dizzy and it felt like I was drunk. The nurses wouldn't let me drive so I just hung out until the ill effects wore off (about an hour). I ate a protein bar and started to feel better, and I wonder if that helped.
I then felt clear-headed for the next week and had almost no pain until the it was time to go in for my next push.
This next glut. push I had on Wednesday, I made sure I had eaten something and did not get any of the side effects. However, like I said, I was very tired until today. Pain is almost gone. This morning I woke up and feel clear-headed again. I also have that sense of well-being. I have not felt like this in a year, so it is definately doing something for me.
I also have a mouthful of mercury, so I'm not sure of the relationship.
Tickgotme, Sorry to hear that you had a bad reaction to the glut. I just wanted to mention Gigi's posts on mercury toxicty. She seems to know so much about this. I believe I read that when the fillings are removed it has do be done a special way because in the process of removing the filling the mercury becomes a vapor and can then be redistributed (by inhalation?).
It's why I haven't rushed to have all of my fillings taken out...I have wanted to find the right dr. who knows what he is doing and believes in mercury toxicity.

My LLMD prescribed it for me.

I have learned a couple of things about glutathione pushes from my environmental doctor's office. A couple of mcs patients were doing them with ATP, phoschol, and that intermingling of blood thingy. Those patients commented that depression was worse.
One patient said that this protocol has soy in it, and so it affected her. My ei doctor has said something about soy being involved in the ATP stuff.
Also, glutathione can be a heavy detox for some people given iv or push, so what you might be experiencing is die-off, which is making you feel worse.

Im thinking of doing this knowing that my LLMD has it available.
I am praying that it helps my MCS and chronic vertigo and post nasal drip that I have had for a year now.

I took my second dose today, I do feel that my herx that I have been experiencing, has gotten worse, I am sure it is from the detoxing, but I feel better in the brain.
I feel like I have clearer thought, not as anxious able to focus better. My one concern was being able to sustain this feeling between dossages and it appears it does. It is interesting at the least. See how it continues.
