PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND LOW GLUTATHIONE
If you or someone you love have Parkinson’s Disease, you may want to do some research about the results people are experiencing by raising their glutathione levels (these levels can be as low as 2% of normal in PD patients). Some PD sufferers have found that symptoms greatly diminish…others that some symptoms virtually disappear. The reduction in symptoms is a direct result of adding glutathione to brain cells.
If you have Parkinson’s, free radical damage to your cells is already very advanced. One contributing factor is extremely low levels of glutathione, your body’s master anti-oxidant and most important free radical fighter. More studies come out every month that positively validate the connection between Parkinson’s, free radical damage, and low glutathione levels.
What Is Glutathione (see July 21 post Glutathione - the Natural Antioxidant for deeper understanding)? Glutathione is produced in every single one of your cells. It is your body’s master anti-oxidant. This means four big things:
Glutathione neutralizes free radicals.
Glutathione repairs cell damage already done by free radicals.
Glutathione can detoxify and flush toxins out of the body.
Glutathione recharges all other anti-oxidants.
Recent research analyzing the brain tissue of people with Parkinson’s has found that the damage is consistent with extensive oxidative stress. Oxidative stress IS free radical damage. Basically, the brain tissue of people living with Parkinson’s, and other neurodegenerative diseases, is ‘rusting.’ Fighting free radicals means fighting the rust. Glutathione is the master rust fighter.
Intravenous glutathione injections have been shown to have amazing and quick results in Parkinson’s. Dr. David Perlmutter, a pioneer in this therapy, developed a protocol utilized at the Perlmutter Health Center for administering intravenous glutathione to Parkinson’s patients. After even a single dose of IV glutathione - often in as little as 15 minutes - the ability to walk, turn around and move their arms is almost completely restored.
Keep in mind that adding glutathione will not cure Parkinson’s disease; but it just may substantially improve quality of life for those suffering from the condition.
So, where and how can you raise glutathione at the cellular level? The days of raising it by IV just may be gone. There is now a safe, easy method of elevating the glutathione levels in every cell of the body. The answer is MaxGXL , the only glutathione accelerator with scientifically proven effectiveness in double blind studies.
