I really think that the government is doing quite a great job on its own of making people hate the government and not want to vote. Voting doesn’t accomplish crap and every government in this world is detestable.

Haha, don’t answer that..

Try not the use the word God, ever. It’s too subjective! It’s a shit word! It’s just like ‘divine’ or ‘angel’. Totally different meaning depending on the individual you’re talking to. :]

Understanding Glutathione
By Kelly Dorfman, M.S., L.D.N.

Glutathione is making headlines again with the recent publication of a research study by Dr. S. Jill James showing that children with autism have impaired antioxidant defense due to low glutathione levels. Dr. James has published several studies and has connected autism, depression and Alzheimer’s disease. (To learn more about her work see: http://www.ewg.org.)

James’ latest investigation has additional new implications for those with autism spectrum disorders: a severe deficiency in glutathione means poor ability to detoxify environmental toxins, particularly mercury. At last we can explain why some youngsters are more susceptible to neurological damage from the mercury-containing preservative, thimerosal and other poisons.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione (GSH) is a peptide, composed of strings of amino acids, the basic building blocks of protein. Glutathione is made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glycine and glutamic acid.

GSH is in a class of molecules called antioxidants, whose primary job is to alleviate oxidative stress. The antioxidant part of GSH comes from the sulfur section of the L-cysteine. In chemistry, the electron donating sulfur group (-SH) is called a thiol. To detoxify mercury, arsenic, lead and cadmium, GSH provides a thiol group that binds to metals and other poisons. The body then excretes a metal-cysteine mixture.

If not enough glutathione (or another antioxidant) is available, heavy metals and toxins are stored in fat tissue. The brain, nervous system, breasts and prostate are mostly fat, and therefore become receptacles for environmental poisons. Thus, the increase in autism incidence may have an environmental connection to the increase in breast and prostate cancer.

Glutathione Delivery Options

Dr. James and others have speculated that increasing GSH levels would help brain development for those on the autistic spectrum. Raising GSH levels is not a simple matter of eating more food with GSH. Researchers have found that about half of the body’s glutathione comes from the diet, mainly fruits and vegetables. The rest is made from the amino acid methionine, which is converted to cysteine, the most important component of GSH.

Giving GSH directly as a supplement by mouth does not consistently help raise glutathione levels because it is negatively affected by digestion. To overcome the digestive obstacles, creams have been marketed with uncertain results as it is difficult to gauge how much is actually being absorbed. Intravenous GSH is an effective delivery method but it is expensive and having children sit with a needle in the arm can be challenging.

The newest attempt to deliver GSH is a fat soluble form called LipoCeutical Glutathione available without prescription from Wellness Pharmacy (800–227-2627). In this form, GSH is encased in tiny fat droplets called lipsomes. Preliminary studies suggest that liposomes optimize absorption by protecting the GSH from oxidation. The cost is $50 for a bottle containing 12 teaspoons. Give ¼ tsp twice daily, always starting with ¼ tsp. once per day to check for sensitivity. Some children get cranky from taking glutathione. Ongoing feedback from parents using LipoCeutical Glutathione is available at http://www.wellnesshealth.cim

Building Glutathione from the Inside Out

Another way to increase glutathione is to provide the body with the raw materials and cofactors to make and maintain it. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is the basic amino acid needed to create GSH. Using methionine is an option that requires more steps as well as other nutrients to convert methionine to NAC. The cofactors for incorporating cysteine into GSH are vitamin B-12, folinic acid and TMG. Vitamin B-12 is best delivered in a methylated form by injection. The body can then produce more glutathione and absorb it better.

Once the body produces GSH, it only works as an antioxidant in its active form, confusingly referred to as reduced-L-glutathione (GSH). When GSH gives away its electron, it becomes inactive oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Vitamin C converts the inactive oxidized GSSG back to its active version. Therefore, NAC, vitamin B-12, folinic acid, TMG and vitamin C are all important nutrients for increasing and maintaining healthy glutathione levels, by giving the body the raw materials.
