glutathione question and input

[Guest guest]

Catching up on some posts of a few days back. I've got a dumb

question...is glutathione and glutamate the same?

My latest blood tests once again revealed low levels of some basic

vitamins so I went to get a meyers cocktail last week. Doctor B told

me about a long standing patient of his. (If anyone has similiar

info, please share.)

This woman presented several years ago in a wheelchair with MS. In

the beginnig he started her on a 3 x week IV vitamin and glutathione.

She improved slightly and regained some/little ability, enough to get

her researching glutathione. She found a German source for a 4x

potent glutathione product and in colaboration with this doctor

started importing this german glutathione. She found out quickly that

this product was far superior than anything available in the US as

she quickly started improving. Within a year, she was out of the

wheelchair, carpooling the kids and eventually returning to work.

She continues to this day to receive these IV infusions from my

doctor on a 1x weekly basis, having no relapses as long as she

doesn't cut back or miss these treatments. You are probably wondering

why I didn't whip out my pen to sign up immediately? The cost for

this glutathione product is anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 per month

depending upon number of infusions per month. ly I would have,

as I am aware of how few options I have left, but I just cannot

afford it.

So, my doctor and I agreed that I would start on the US version of

IV glutathione first, and if I saw any improvement that might

indicate it to be of value, we would talk further. He was not

willing to dig through files and give me confidential information

unless I see that it might benefit me. I think he wanted to give me

time to see if I could come up with the money.

Now, I could come up with some $$ for about a month. So I am

wondering if I could expect to see enough improvement in that month.

Maybe I'm just scared that I will get better and then have to worry

about how to find the money to continue treatment. I know this is

probably not an issue much discussed, the dilemmia when treatment is

offered at a high cost. Has anyone else faced this, or is this just

one of my life's curve balls.

I would appreciate any specific mg doses and other cruitial dosing

instructions from those here having experience in this product. Now

how is that for a soft sell. (i.e. beg)

You may email me if you would rather.I don't know if what we input

here winds up in search engines as it used to, so I understand if you

don't want to post this info. But frankly, if I'm going to cure

myself, it will be with information gleened from everyone here,

certainly not from the doctors. I've been seeing this doctor for a

year now and this is the first time he has brought this up to me. I'd

be tick'd off if I didn't need it so much.

Thank you
