Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 Michele There is much talk lately about taking whey supplements. Supplements are sometimes beneficial and sometimes detrimental. There is no longer any doubt in my mind about the value of whey ( and curds). I have not taken any whey supplements for 2 years. For a fraction of the cost of supplements, I have been producing MY OWN whey ( & curds). Why worry about the supposed potency of an expensive supplement when you can produce a better product yourself? The whole organism that makes up curds and whey is just that, a complete organism. To separate and process it almost guarantees loss of value. Produce it youself by obtaining the culture from a variety of sources. Mine is a culture called PIIMA. Send $5 to: PIIMA PO Box 2614, La Mesa, Ca. 91943-2614. Another source of the beneficial compounds in fermented dairy products is kefir. Produce your own kefir by doing a web search on the topic.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 Luck Isn't it interesting how whole foods solve the problems while supplements (partial foods) often don't ! For the most part, we have been sold a bill of goods regarding the value of supplements. Once we learn the value of whole, raw foods and WHICH foods we really need to be healthy, then many of our problems will be history.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 Milk Thistle is supposed to have it or release it. ??? Donna -----Original Message----- I know glutathione is great for liver, but when I tried even taking a tsp of whey (whey to go by Solgar)a few different days I had a terrible inflammation occur in my intestines that lasted all day...obviously cannot tolerate it even though is good for most bodies. I do take NAC sustained release and do okay with that, 1200 mg/day/ Also take 2 tsp of colostrum per day which is great. Any other suggestions for glutathione supplementation? I hate to invest in the immuneproRX and have reaction. Anyone else have this type of response to whey based products? Any suggestions. Does taking glutathione by itself work as well as taking precursors to it? Thanks for any help Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2001 Report Share Posted August 8, 2001 Hi ; The third part of glutathione you may need to supplement is l-glutamine. OR perhaps covalent-bonded glutamine from www.immunepro.com Soothes the small intestine. ciao Duncan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 Corny, Not only are you giving good advice, " making your own " is the kind of food lifestyle we have to get back to if we want true health. Supplements are a crutch, no real alternative to the right food, and like all crutches, they are either temporary, or you are crippled. But, I'm going to buy my meat & colostrum! ;-) jim Mike E Cornwall wrote: > > Michele > There is much talk lately about taking whey supplements.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 Michele, If you're taking glutathione for the liver, it needs a few minerals also for each molecule of glutathione, depending on what is being detoxed. So, a really good mineral supplement should be a part of the glutathione regimen. jim Michele Wald wrote: > > I know glutathione is great for liver, but when I tried even taking a tsp of > whey (whey to go by Solgar)a few different days I had a terrible > inflammation occur in my intestines that lasted all day...obviously cannot > tolerate it even though is good for most bodies.
