Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Glutathione is not a heavy metal chelator. DMSA, DMPS, and Alpha Lipoic Acid are heavy metal chelators.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 " Toxic metals that are not eliminated may build up in the brain. Plasma glutathione has been found to be lower in children with autism, particularly, in children with autism who have regressed. We want to clearly establish that raising glutathione levels in these children will improve their ability to detoxify these substances and in that way improve some of their symptoms. " According to Andy Cutler low glutathione levels can be directly related to the fact that toxic people are using more of it, so low glutathione can not be simply isolated to autistic children and because of it's non-function as a chelating agent must be ruled out as curative treatment. As I understand it, also by supplementing glutathione you are actually encouraging the body to produce less of it. Therefore until you actually get going with chelating agents you are not addressing the root cause of low glutathione levels in toxic people. So glutathione supplementation is non-curative, because as stated glutathione is not a heavy metal chelator. We don't need to beat around the bush and we don't need to waste time with people who have no interest in curative solutions to our children's toxicity problems. These people know or at least should know that no other heavy metals degenerate brain tissue in the manner that mercury does. The Calgary group studying neurofibril destruction found that none of the other heavy metals fried neurons the way that mercury does. Mercury is the government's injected heavy metal of choice causing the negative neurological outcomes a.k.a. autism. For the government to assert " it all gets pooped out " is about as scientifically sound as insisting on ethylmercury be injected into infants and toddlers in the first place.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 No one is advocating the use of GSH in place of pharamceutical chelators, rahter thay are there to help assist the process. Glutathione doesn't chelate mercury. That's 100% true. In a strict chemical sense, the bonds formed between metals and the thiol group of gluatathoine are not chelation style bonding. But they don't have to be chelation bonds for metal to be trapped and excreted. Glutathione does bind free mercury and it helps the human body to excrete such metal toxins. The average human body removes loads of toxins every day without resorting to DMSA, DMPS, etc. GSH is a a key part of this system. So, it can help our kids to detox. Also, it's critical to reducing the oxidative damage found within ASD kids. And the project is looking to increase glutathione production, not to supplement it directly. I think it's a valuable study. Jill is doing some fantastic work in this area. It's well thought out, coherent science and we need more of this. Well, that's my opinion.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I don't think you can make a blanket statement that raising glutathione levels in ASD kids wont help whether it is considered a chelator or not. Every kid is different and I'm sure there are some out there that are doing well with glutathione supplementation, or one of the precursor like cystine or even the Lifewave patch. You just wont know unless you try. > > > > Any input? > > Amy > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Cheap Talk?

Dr. Jill , Professor of Pediatrics at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, will be a co-investigator. Dr. is noted for her landmark studies in autism and toxicology and is among the first scientists to point out the links with low glutathione levels. This is from Dr Deth... Because mercury lowers glutathione levels by binding to regulatory thiols (such as the one in UBE3A), it causes oxidative stress, and the cellular response to oxidative stress is to inhibit methionine synthase. This inhibition increases homocysteine and S- adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) levels, and SAH inhibits all methylation reactions, including DNA methylation, by competing with the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). Kerbob, these people who are doing these sudies are VERY devoted to mercury poisoned children. They are on OUR side. Yes, mercury destroy neurons, The neurons that we need to support chelation. Here is Dr Jill study on Thimerosal http://www.nationalautismassociation.org/library/%20Neurotox% 2011-04%20Thimerosal-Glutathione%20Depletion.pdf I know it is hard to trust anyone in the medical field, But there are people in this world who REALLY do care and are concerned. Dr. and Dr. Deth are two very devoted medical professionals to our children. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 It would be interesting to find our how different is Immunocal (if any) as compared to a high quality whey protein like EAS or Designer Protein. Whey protein is good for you, autism or not. > > > > Any input? > > Amy > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Cheap Talk?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 This question of using glutathionine to chelate or as part of chelation was recently discussed on frequent dose chelation. The consensus was that glutathionine should not be taken by mercury toxic individuals and that it does not chelate anything. This is in respect to treating adults mind you. You may wish to go to that group and search the old posts as an FYI > > > > Any input? > > Amy > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Cheap Talk?
