It's glutathione depletion that does it! (was--Re: Dr. Brewer tape)

" One of the arguments I'm planning to present at the AACFS meeting

the weekend after this coming one is that the trigger for bringing

endogenous viruses, including HHV-6, Epstein--Barr, cytomegalovirus,

and possibly others, out of latency at the onset of CFS is that

glutathione becomes sufficiently depleted. "

Hi Rich!

I had a massive outbreak of cold sores at the time that I came down

with CFS in the summer of 1992.

Is there a test for glutathione levels that I could ask my doctor to

order?

And if my levels are low, what's the most cost effective way to boost

my glutathione level. The leader of our Seattle CFS and Fibro support

group has suggested I try Designer Whey (which he gets at a pretty good

price and brings to meetings to save members the trouble of having to

shop for it). Do you think that would be a good way to go?

Since you brought this up, my Tourette's is much worse the worse my CFS is. I

know that I battle keeping my gluathione up and I've never really thought about

a direct correlation in the past. Is it possible the symptoms of Tourettes

would correlate with levels of gluathione? (I wish I took better notes on my

symptoms for correlation.) I always assume it correlated more with my brain

function.

(was--Re: Dr. Brewer tape)

Rich, I gather this simply by an intuitive look at histories in

families. I remember a work by a guy named Comings who had initially

specialized in Tourette's, I believe, and then realized that the

families of victims had clusters of other disorders, and that they

were probably all related to a certain genetic vulnerability

manifesting differently.

hi jill it isnt wierd to me as when i got glutathione ivs years ago , i

felt my mind was hsarper and clearer with it and for hours after due to

the increased fluid volume + extra glutathione( was defiicient on tests) i

felt like the whole world was easier to understand and like a camera lens

peeling away layers of fog so i understood more but it didnt last more than

a few hours.tealk

bg,

O.K. Yes, I think you're right about that. That is one of the

possible causes of hypercoagulation.
