Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 This is very interesting, . I've been taking an IM Glut shot, 100 mgs. about 3 times a week. It definitely helps me, especially when I feel viral. This push idea is very interesting. I guess it would be IV. How many mgs.? Carol D. > Hi.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 , I am a patient of Dr Cheney and He has me do 2 shots of glutathione per week, plus the denatured whey. I use Immuneplus. I had no trouble with that regularity. L >Hi. I saw my dr yesterday and she wants to give me a glutathione shot >about 2 times a month.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 I do these--it's called a push because the nurse pushes it slowly from a syringe into your arm (with a flexible tube in between so you don't have to worry about the needle in your arm wiggling), rather than a drip from an IV bag. They help me, although I do get detox symptoms for about 24 hours after. I hope you get good results, too. I don't have a written protocol, but might be able to get one, if you still need it, back channel me. If you're worried about a bad reaction, maybe you could do a trial with a smaller dose and see how you do (ask for more dilution/the same volume they usually use, with a smaller amount of glutathione in it, that might also help mitigate the potential for a bad reaction). If you detox a lot, you could slowly work up to their regular dose--if your body just plain hates it, you won't have taken so much. Good luck. > gluthathione shot > > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hi All. Thanks for the replies. I don't know how much glutathione the doctor wants to give me. I'll have to find out. I do think that I will start out with a test dose as I have such bizarre reactions to medicine. I'm a little concerned about how a push works because of the flexible line. I have to make sure that it isn't latex and I won't react to it. I wouldn't be able to come in to do it more than a few times a month because I can't drive myself to the doctor's plus it's expensive. Does anybody know if insurance usually covers the treatment. Thanks again, A > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 , I can't completely set your heart at ease about the flexible line, because I don't KNOW that it isn't latex, but it is a clear plastic-y thing. It doesn't look like latex, which might ease your anxieties a little until you find out for sure. Also, if it does have latex in it, no reason why it can't be done with the syringe right into your arm, it just means the nurse needs a steady hand while she does the push--it's only a few minutes, very possible to do. (I suspect the 20 minutes is for your whole appointment. My nurse does the injection over, perhaps, 3 minutes. I never asked her, but it's not very long . . . I don't see why if it were 20 minutes they would push it. For that amount of time, they'd use a drip). The flexible line is more of a convenience and a precaution, not a necessity. I think if this doctor wants this to work for you, he/she can manage it. My insurance pays it's usual percentage, though as you know, coverage varies widely. The test dose is a great idea. > Re: gluthathione shot > > > Hi All. Thanks for the replies. I don't know how much glutathione > the doctor wants to give me. I'll have to find out.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Just wondering why it must be injected over a long period of time? Does it also contain ATP? thank you lea > , > I can't completely set your heart at ease about the flexible line, because I > don't KNOW that it isn't latex, but it is a clear plastic-y thing.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 I think it hurts if you inject it too fast. I know that my nurse had to increase the dilution of the shot because her original formula hurt. Clearly anything that hurts could ultimately cause some damage, too. I don't know if that's an actual concern here, but I don't think you need to worry about it, because when it hurt it hurt too much to tolerate. At the current dilution she uses, and speed of injection, I have no pain whatsoever. I think that people who do glut/ATP shots at home (IM or subQ) have procaine in the shot to kill the pain, or at least make it tolerable (true? those of you who do this?). I'm also not sure of the potency of the IV vs. the IM shots. My IV shots of glutathione do not contain ATP. > Re: gluthathione shot > > > Just wondering why it must be injected over a long period of time? > Does it also contain ATP? > thank you > lea > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2002 Report Share Posted April 15, 2002 Any idea what the mechanism is that this would work? My understanding is you can't inject glutathione and get it into the cells. L-glutamine is good for the gut. But the only way I am aware of to get gluathione in the cells is with whey protein or NAC sometimes. Doris ----- Original Message ----- From: <aab532l@...> > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I know you can't EAT glutathione and get it to the cells--except via whey protein. Does anyone have more information on injections? > Re: gluthathione shot > > > Any idea what the mechanism is that this would work?
