Peggy:

I don't know if other injections can be prepared as suppositories. However,

Gene, the pharmacist at Hopewell Pharmacy, seems to know alot about this and he

may be able to answer your questions. 800-792-6670.

Drew,

Might you get us the info on who carries transdermal glutathion? You use

" Kirkmans. " Does that refer to a manufacturer? Also, any doc that I'd

ask for a script for glutathione suppositories or a transdermal patch I

know would want to know what type of dose it delivers, what is considered

a safe dose, an effective dose, etc. Often the compounding pharmacist

knows though some say they want the doc to say.

I talked to Wellness Health and Pharmacy today and asked them about the

glutathione suppositories, wanted to get price and quanities, etc. Well, I had

NO idea they come in so many strengths. 200, 300, 400, 500mg's, 1 gm and I don't

know what is good to use. Anybody have experience with using this???

Rich has talked about these before and listed them on his comprehensive

'replacing glutathione' post some time ago. Its my understanding that using it

this way helps replenish the liver so that when using it by injection or other

methods there might be enough for other areas. In other words, Rich feels the

glutathione is 'compartmentalized' and needs to be replaced in many areas and

that might involve different approaches (forgive me Rich if I don't get it all

'right' :-). I talked to the ND today and he's going to get them for me now (he

wasn't happy I called Wellness myself, oh well, you snooze you lose!) He was

supposed to check on all these things a couple months ago and never did. So I'm

getting a 4oz bottle of the lipoceutical glutathione and 10 suppositories to

start with, and not sure what strength they will be, I'm sure the more the

better but not sure I can tolerate 'more'. He also 'finally' has a bottle of

B12 for me (was supposed to have that months ago too!) I'm trying to build up my

whey protein tolerance too and doing as much as I can to build gsh because I'm

planning to have another RBC glutathione test done right before the end of the

year to see if its doing any good.

If you haven't seen that post of Rich's on different ways to replace gsh let me

know and I'll try and find it and repost it, its excellent info (as all his info

is!) with company names and websites, etc.

Where do you get your testing done?

Yes, I think the glutathione rectal suppositories do work. We had

one person on the list a while back who reported benefits using the

250 mg. dosage. I think this may be the least expensive of the ways

of putting glutathione per se directly into the blood.

Anyone found these in Canada? Prescription required?

Okay to take with amalgam fillings? I can't get mercury

levels tested.

Thanks.

Hi

Glutathione really helps me and I have to have it. I get it in I.V.'s (make

sure preservative free) and have tried the 200 mg glutathione suppositories from

Wellness Pharmacy. Wellness Pharmacy makes 2 types of suppositories - the

regular type which have unsuitable inactive ingredients and the type I use is

specially compounded is Preservative Free Glutathione in coco butter. I have

tried the glutathione injected into the muscles and it does not seem to work for

me but I can definately tell the difference in energy if I get it either by I.V.

or the specially compounded suppositories. Unfortunately Wellness Pharmacy

will no longer accept prescriptions from Canadian doctors - you have to have a

doctor prescribe it from the States.

Hi!

Sorry I should have stated the regular glutathione suppositories cannot work for

me and are unsuitable for me because I am extremely sensitive to the inactive

ingredients. So for some people they might be fine if they are not sensitive.

For the more sensitive people I would try the glutathione suppositories in the

cocoa butter.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi, Kathy.

I think your first questions have already been answered.

Concerning whether it's O.K. to use glutathione suppositories with

amalgam fillings in place, I can't say I know this for sure, but I

suspect that it would be O.K. The reason I suspect this is that from

my reading I have learned that the bond between the glutathione

molecule and the mercuric ion is very strong, and they are not easily

dissociated. Therefore, if glutathione binds to mercury, I don't

think the mercury will later be released so that it could, for

example, enter the brain. I still have a lot to learn about this, but

that's what I think at this time.

In the long run, I do think it's a good idea to get rid of amalgam

fillings, but I think this is best done slowly and carefully,

particularly using a high-volume vacuum line to minimize the amount of

mercury vapor that is inhaled when the fillings are heated by

drilling. (One thing I would recommend is that you not shut your mouth

on one of these high-volume suckers! I did that recently, and it

almost took my tongue and cheeks along with it! Quite a thrill).

Thanks for responding, Rich. Since I can't get the

glutathione suppositories in Canada and American doctors

won't take Canadian prescriptions, (not that my doctor would

give me a prescription) the question becomes moot.

I now need to know if i.v. glutathione is okay, but since

you're not certain about the suppositories, I would think

that the same would apply to the i.v.'s.

I'm not well enough to go to a dentist for maintence so

having my amalgams removed, isn't possible.

Good in theory - doesn't work in practice.

Hi Kathy,

I don't have all the answers either. But I do have a little experience. I'm

riddled with mercury. I test allergic to it on the dental testing and have a

mouth full of it still. They did pull a very leaky merc filling out of the base

of the root of a tooth under a bad bridge I had that had been leaking for ages

and it gave me some improvement immediately. I think I've had about as much merc

exposure as one could have. I've had glutathione IV's a few times and a couple

of those were before I had that leaky filly out (and I still have a big cracked

one and about 8 others) so I still have a mouth full of the merc. And the

glutathione IV's have never made me feel worse. If you can get a Meyers

(vites/mins) IV at the same time it works better for me that way. They give the

Myers IV first then push the glutathione after it. Anyway, from my experience it

hasn't hurt me at all having glut IV's with a mouthful of merc still in place.

I just wish I could afford more of them :-(

Kathy, There is a suglingual form (absorbed directly into the blood stream) of

gluthione marketed by Now foods in the US. You couldhave someone purchase it

here and mail it to you. There is a compounder in Washington that offers a

gluthione preparation that is sprayed into the nostrils (there is no blood

brain barrier between the nose and brain). Hope you find something that is

available and effective. Mel

Thank you Mel for your kindness and your information. When

I'm feeling just a bit better, I'll check into some of these

suggestions.
