Unfortunately we have had to cancel our DAN appt tomorrow because K has

a cough, and so starting the bethanacol is a big no no. I am

desperately fed up, was quite excited about starting bethanacol (as per

Megson), but at least I phoned to check, rather than travelling for 4

hours to be told no in person.

Should rearrange DAN appt soon, so will ask about NADH then. Thanks

again, you have been a great help

Right back atcha, . This has been a GREAT conversation and

I've learned tons. Thanks so much...

Well, I think that this is kind of the point. You give reduced glutathione, then the body uses it and it immediately becomes oxidized glutathione. If you don't hav e a complex disease like autism or you aren't old, then you should have enough NADH being produced in order to recycle the oxidized glutathione back to reduced glutathione. So really it's the NADH that is very important here, because our kids don't have the ability to recycle it very well -- glutathione peroxidase is not working well, often because there's not enough NADH.

Sorry -- I meant glutathione reductase. Glutathione peroxidase is

the enzyme that uses reduced glutathione (GSH) to prevent lipid

peroxidation. At the end of that process the GSH has been oxidized

to GSSG (oxidized glutathione), and in order to recycle the GSSG

back to usable GSH, glutathione reductase needs NADH (in the form of

NADPH, which is NADH with a phosphate added to it.)

Mandi, I'm going to look into the metabolics items -- the NADH and

magnesium chloride. We use the magnesium chloride by E-Lyte. LOVED

the history you gave us on it! Very interesting!

Hugs,

Theresa
