glutathione quality, Medaus / Wellness, several GSH articles!

[Guest guest]

I've been closely following the info on injectible glutathione and IV pushes,

especially information that the quality may vary from pharmacy to pharmacy,

perhaps according to how it's prepared or how long it's been sitting on a shelf.

Knowing that the pharmacists Cheney trusted have moved from Wellness to Medaus,

I have some GSH and azelaic acid on order from Medaus.

I decided to look at their website just now (www.medaus.com) and glutathione is

the current topic!! See http://www.medaus.com/?p=27,3672

I found the following letter to be of particular interest, especially two

phrases:

" As documented by many leading healthcare practitioners, reduced-l-glutathione

needs to be properly prepared and stored or it can oxidize in a matter of

hours. "

and

" ...we have added to our staff the personnel that developed the glutathione

process that has been spoken of in medical references... "

Might these be the two guys from Wellness? No idea, but I'm wondering.

Here's the letter in full, with a report that it mentions included below it.

Click here to see the School of Pharmacy-Department of Pharmaceutical

Sciences an independent laboratory report to verify those claims. [i've pasted

it below.] As documented by many leading healthcare practitioners,

reduced-l-glutathione needs to be properly prepared and stored or it can oxidize
