Just heard about this. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I have not heard of it or tried it, but it sounds great. Anything that gets it directly into the body without having to go through the whole digestive process!
I use powdered MSM, a precursor to glutathione. I wonder if I can compound my own MSM creme by mixing it with lotion.

I've been using it for about 2 or 3 years now. Like bejoy said, it's much easier when it doesn't have to go through the digestive tract (plus, that stuff tastes like a mixture of rotten eggs and old onions!).

My husband was only able to use it briefly; turned out his metals level was very high, and the glutathione worked TOO well--mobilized too much for his system to handle.
During the brief window that he was able to use it, he noticed almost immediate results. In particular, an area of neuropathic pain on his leg was relieved literally overnight.
I am hoping that he will be able to use it again in the future, when he is able to chelate metals more aggressively.
So...it can be great, but I would recommend heavy metals testing first.

I was on it a few years ago (componded) and now am on a different kind that just comes in a bottle - it's made by health pro labs.
Boy, does it stink!

bejoy,
You mentioned mixing it in a lotion. I wonder if coconut oil would do? Jojoba? Just no petroleum based lotions, I'd assume.
I know that Bob (lymie_in-MD, I think) and others here have made their own rectal suppositories with glutathione and coconut oil. Store in freezer.
You can also buy suppositories. I've not yet gotten them but will see if I have that link somewhere.

With thanks to who ever originally sent this to me. I see it was the price that kept me away. (Still, far - far - less expensive than IV Glutathione.)
I'll see if I can find something about making your own. Or you might search out posts by Lymie_in_MD - not sure if that is the exact name - GiGi also has posted on this topic.

I bet I'd spend so much less on supplements if they went directly into the blood stream rather than not getting absorbed in the digestive tract. You really have me thinking now.

Consider rectal suppositories of glutathione as well as the nebulized form. For the latter, you have to make the investment in the nebulizer up front, but it's not too expensive.
I have really enjoyed the nebulized form and am now trying the suppositories from Wellness Pharmacy.

I tried compounded glutathione lotion many years ago. I had improvement the first few months but then I stopped improving. I stayed on it for several months longer because my glutathione levels were so low but finally stopped because I didn't feel that it was helping and as I recall it was expensive. I didn't notice any difference when I went off.
My doctor at the time told me that it is not unusual to respond well at first and then stop responding. I don't remember why he said that happens as this was 10 years ago.
I plan to look into nebulized glutathione soon. Right now I take reduced glutathione in pill form.

Thank you for all the information. I do have high levels of lead and mercury so I was really glad to get heads up on that, Viva.
A few years ago, I tried the liquid which didn't change my levels and talked to someone who tried the nebulized form for a year which also didn't make a difference in her glutathione levels.
Maybe our bodies were so toxic we were using up every bit of glutatione going in before it had a chance to raise the levels?
Great website...didn't realize glutathione was such a powerful chelator. Am trying oral chelation along with Babesia treatment and have to back off chelation regularly, the herxes are so bad.
Thanks again for everyone's replies.

I am in no way an expert on chelation, so please take the following with a big grain of salt.
My husband's LLMD has him taking Zeolite HP, one a day, as what he calls a "gentle" chelator. My husband cannot do anything stronger until he gets his amalgams removed.
At LLMD's suggestion, my husband had also tried a supplement called Chelex, but it was too strong for him.
In order to help bind the metals that are released, he is also taking Nanotek Chitosan (a powerful binder, must be taken well away from other meds or it will bind them as well), and Chlorella.
FIR sauna sessions have also been very helpful in getting the metals out once they have been mobilized.
These may be things to ask your LLMD about...again, just in the spirit of sharing info...
Best, Viva

Viva, Chelex is what I've been taking. I was told it was gentle enough for children but I guess it's too strong for me too. Will definitely ask my dr. about changing to Zeolite.
Gotta' get rid of the metals somehow. I heard metals can also cause brain lesions (which I have been blessed with) It seems to me that metals should be treated first, then attack the lyme and babesia. Too tough to do both at the same time. Drs seem to disagree on this subject.
Anyway, thank you for your help.

Chelex gave my husband that sick-all-over toxins-in-the-system feeling. It's hard for him to describe it more specifically; guess it's one of those "you know it when you have it" feelings. Don't know if your experience has been similar.
Zeolite has not produced that feeling for him. He can tell that it's been effective, because his peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in hands and feet) has improved. For him, it may be getting at platinum (left over from cancer chemo) more than mercury--we have not re-tested for heavy metals, so we don't have an "objective" measure.
There are a couple of different kinds of Zeolite, that target different metals. His LLMD recommended Zeolite HP, which is made by Nutramedix. So definitely discuss with your doctor, since you want to do this under good medical supervision. Judging from my husband's experience, one of the worst feelings is to have those metals circulating without a good mopping up agent or exit route.
Have you tried infrared sauna treatments? Those have been a real boon for my husband.
Best, Viva
