I have been on the nasal spray for about 7 weeks. YES it stinks to high heaven!

I have gotten used to the smell now though. Today I could say I don't want to be without it!

My energy level has come up from bedridden fatigued to not needing a nap in the afternoon.

I pre dose with Kyo-Chlorella.

I didn't see the difference for about a week with once daily.

I started low dose and worked up. Now I'm up to twice a day and can tell when I'm late with my afternoon dose [Wink]

What exactly is this for? It's some form of a detoxifier, right?

Is the nasal spray for allergies or just another way to get it in your body?

I'd appreciate more details.

Thanks!

Hi Clarissa, as it was explained to me (what I can remember, memory problems)... is that Glutathione is naturally produced in the body, it is a amnio acid and helps to release toxins.. so yes it is a detoxifier... good for neuro toxins. My LLMD said it is great for 70% who use and and than the rest have NO results at all...

I really hope this works for me, as I have many many many neuro symptoms, which could be attributed to a bulid up of toxins.

Hope that helps!!

I was told it works wonderfully, but do not use it unless you have removed all mercury from you mouth. I'll be workibng on that for a while.

That's about the way it was explained to me.

Pre-dosing with the Chlorella as it acts as a binder.

Before Lyme and Co, I was a steady weight of 125 lbs. At about 18 months into treatment I rapidly gained 38 lbs in a matter of four months.

This was thought to be from toxins and not detoxing well. Although I was trying to detox, I'm one of those that can't.

I have lost 16 lbs by just starting this 7 weeks ago. My mind is getting much clearer as well.

You will notice, I am even trying and able to post here [Big Grin]

DARN! I have a mouthful of mercury. Total bummer as I would like to partake in this!

Thanks for the post, D! Maybe you don't have to have fillings out?

fingers crossed.

SunshineyDay,

I checked with two very well-versed Lymenetters and they said that you do NOT have to have your mercury fillings out in order to partake in this detoxification process.

Not sure what your source is but I do trust these other sources. Just didn't want people like me (with metal fillings still in their mouths) to feel like they couldn't try it.

Where did you hear that information?

Best,

My daughter had IV and it did nothing. My son has wonderful results. It lifts his brain fog.

Do a search on glutathione. I have posted tons and tons about it.

It was the first therapy I was given and it did wonders for me. I am currently trying to get it once a month for life. My LLMD is willing but she is 3 1/2 hrs away. So far, I haven't found anyone local who will administer it.

Most sick people are depleted in their glut. It is the main detoxifier of the body and found in heavy concentrations in the liver and the lungs, but also in smaller concentrations in every cell.

If you don't see noticeable improvement, I assume it means you aren't deficient in it. Please note I am making an assumption.

Genetic testing reveals I am very defective in my ability to produce glutathione. This can spell early death.

Google it. Tons of good information out there.

Thanks everyone for your input!!

I am on the liquid oral GSH glutathione.... the one that smells like perm solution!

Has anyone taken this specific type of glut... I think I am supposed to take it everyday... Not sure??? I am guessing I do since it is the oral kind...

Mercury vapor released from dental amalgams and inhaled or ingested will need to be detoxified, and since the liver is the major detox organ, and glutathione in the liver is depleted by mercury, it seems that the presence of amalagams is an indication FOR the use of glutathione infusion, not against it.

N-Acetyl-Cysteine is an amino acid precursor to glutathione, is available at health food stores, is relatively inexpensive, and stinks, due to having a sulfur molecule. It is used in the emergency room for Acetominophen overdose.
