Hi Patty,

I had forgotten about my glutathione deficiency until yesterday. I did the oxidative stress test and got my results yesterday. I took the test prior to starting Protandim. Dr. Leu explained to me again that I don’t make ANY glutathione at all and that it is so important for me to always work on that liver pathway. I’ll repeat the test once I have taken Protandim for 30 days. I hope it works for me as well as it did for Quinones of ABC. He likely doesn’t have my health issues and isn’t as much of a challenge. I’d guess if it helps me, it should help just about anyone.

How do coffee enemas increase glutathione? I take a lot of milk thistle. I had been on Adva Clear by Metagenics, which is a great general liver detoxifier but it doesn’t target the area I need most help in so Dr. Leu switched me to another product called Liver Protect, which is on his personal label. It is so strong that it makes me sick if I take more than two per day. Optimum dose is two, twice a day. Obviously I really need it or it wouldn’t make me sick but it’s hard to choose a time to feel like garbage for a while.

Kenda,

Thank you for that confirmation!!! I have always thought my liver

was involved with the brain fog. I knew because of the frequency

with which it came around my monthly cycle. The liver has the job

of breaking down our hormones, and also dealing with the fats in our

diet, and so I was thinking food allergies as well.

I do the coffee enemas as an effort to keep my liver clear; however,

the coffee enemas increase glutathione requirements, and I have not

been paying attention to making sure I am getting enough produce or

supplements in my diet to address this need.

Maybe I have this same deficiency with glutathione....I will need to

look into this. You are much better at going to the doctor than I

am!

Thanks Kenda, Your info is much appreciated. I am really glad you

didn't get implants....your life would have been a mess! I got a

call this morning from a girl who has had her implants only one

month and she is sick, sick, sick. She is desperate. No doubt,

you would have been too.

I will post some good info on glutathione again. I've done it in

the past, time for a refresher. I should create some files, too.

Keep sharing!

Hugs,

Patty
