Glutathione is an effective antioxidant that fights free radicals in your body
Glutathione is such an amazing antioxidant, and the more I learn about it, the more excited I get. Ever wonder why some people get sick and others don't? Higher glutathione levels means you have stronger defenses. Even germs you already have will clear up when your immune system starts kicking. This antioxidant action also detoxifies your liver, helping you be less sensitive to allergens {my favorite part!}, and removes the toxins that can lead to cancer and other diseases.I read recently about how the amino acid cysteine is often used in supplement form to treat respiratory conditions, as well as other conditions. I have a lot of friends that are either suffering from continued respiratory issues, or with Hurricane Sandy they've got some serious issues with mucus and breathing that have been brought up by the damage and the lingering mold issues. So cysteine most typically comes in its acetylcysteine form when used as a supplement, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Once taken, your body converts the supplement into cysteine, then to glutathione. It's the glutathione that is the key here... and you can get that from a great undenatured whey product.When you are sick you probably use guaifenesin ( Mucinex) alone or a combined with cough syrup. They prescribed this to get through the worst part of your cold, but it is not recommended for chronic, ongoing problems because guaifenesin stimulates lubrication of the lungs. So doing more research I found that they have proven that, without exception, every lung patient has decreased, deficient levels of glutathione (GSH) in their lung lining fluid. WOW! Who knew. Your lungs are exposed to everything in the air and so mother nature conveniently placed GSH in the lung lining fluid to offset the harm of pollutants, smoke, chemicals...you know all of those toxins that you are breathing in on a daily basis. But after long-term respiratory issues and over-exposure to these elements your GSH supply becomes inadequate and that's when the lungs start losing ground.
When you already have a problem with mucus and breathing, the last thing you need is a cold or bronchitis. It takes you longer to get over it the more times it happens. Each time our founder got bronchitis, it was worse and lasted longer. It left damage, and deepened the cycle of mucus and vulnerability. In fact in Europe they are already using glutathione rich products and glutathione creating medications for Cystic Fibrosis patients. In patients with cystic fibrosis the levels of glutathione in the lung drop. They are using glutathione products to increase the levels of glutathione, and they believe to reduce inflammation and
help maintain normal composition of mucus. This way it is expected to relieve the symptoms of the
patients.
I love this video where Dr. Oz talks about glutathione - and I hope that you will research how it can help you.
