Re: Does glutathione move mercury to the brain?

[Guest guest]

Thanx for clearing that up, CYnthia. It didn't make biological sense

anyway (the speed of the glutathione would mobilize mercury into the

brain specifically). WHat he is saying does make a lot of sense.

I've heard glutathione is a weak chelator anyway. I think its

benefits are in helping detox the system. I had never known it was

possibly substituting as a neurotransmitter which is very interesting

as when I had my chaser the other day I started to get into a very

good, up, mood, within minutes of the glutathione starting. Thought

that was weird! At the time I attributed it to somehow clearing out

neurotoxins immediately, which again, didn't quite make sense. I'll

have to read up more on this.
