I first heard of glutathione while reading the book, “Healing and Preventing Autism” by Jenny McCarthy and Jerry Kartzinel. Although my son doesn’t have autism, I have found that many treatments that are known to help autistic children also help my son (who has a diagnosed immune disorder).
An entire chapter in McCarthy and Kartzinel’s book describes the importance of glutathione, how it is the most important substance that our body produces to help our immune system fight infections. It’s the body’s most important antioxidant and the body’s most powerful detoxifier. Most autistic children are low in glutathione, which is why they have so much trouble detoxifing vaccines, medications, environmental toxins, toxins in food and why they have so much trouble fighting infections and diseases.
What is glutathione?
Glutathione is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and a detoxifier and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 99,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine.
Glutathione has been shown to:
- dramatically increase energy levels;
- strengthen the immune system;
- fights off the damage of free radicals on the cells;
- slow down the aging process;
- reduce imflammation or swelling;
- improve athletic performance and recovery;
- detoxify and improve liver function;
- increase stamina and endurance;
- improve memory and other mental functions;
- improve vision;
- reduce the chances of developing cancer;
- improve heart and lung function;
- less joint and muscle aches;
- mood improvement
- decreases wrinkles;
- eases anxiety; and
- protects from degenerative diseases.
“Glutathione levels go down in
every age group except one and that one are the people who reach a
hundred years of age.
Those people, interestingly, have glutathione
levels that approximate those of a normal 30 to 40 year old.” - Dr. Robert Keller
Health Concerns
In one review, almost 80% of people with chronic ailments were found to
be deficient in glutathione. In fact, low levels of glutathione are
involved in all disease states, including but not limited to ADHD, alcoholism, Alzheimer's disease, asthma, autism, bipolar disease, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, fibromyalgia, heart attacks, HIV, Hepatitis A, B and C, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, schizophrenia, and many more, Click here for a full list of disease and illnesses that are linked to low glutathione levels (there are a lot!).
How do you increase your glutathione levels?
Increasing glutathione levels is typically a complicated process. Glutathione can be taken intravenously, transdermally or through a nebulizer. Note that supplementing directly with oral glutathione is generally not effective because studies have found that glutathione does not survive the digestive process. Furthermore, supplementing with oral glutathione can result in a yeast outbreak and gut imbalance. Injections are only minimally useful, since glutathione cannot enter into the cells themselves. It must be manufactured inside the cells (when the necessary components are available.) As Dr. Kartzinel explains, methyl B12 injections and supplementing with trimethylglycine (TMG) or dimethylglycine (DMG), folic acid and N-acetyl-cysteine can increase glutathione levels.
An easy and effective way to increase glutathione levels
MaxGXL is a 100% natural supplement that increases intracellular glutathione levels by an average of 292%. MaxGXL does not contain glutathione (which breaks down during the digestive process), but contains ingredients that stimulate the production of glutathione, including: vitamin C; N Acetyl cysteine, L-glutamine, N Acetyl D-glucosamine, quercetin, milk thistle extract, alpha lipoic acid, cordyceps and conjugated linoleir acid. Find out more about MaxGXL, and the health benefits associated with each of these ingredients here.
My experience
When I first started taking MaxGXL, I found that my energy levels increased, my mental clarity improved and my emotions stabilized. I felt as though my brain and GI tract were being detoxed.
I really feel that this supplement can help everyone feel better. In fact, virtually everyone who takes Max products consistently for three months feels a difference (i.e., higher energy levels and other health benefits). 75% of people feel a difference within a week, and 90% within two weeks feel a difference. I felt a difference in my mental clarity within hours of first taking MaxGXL.
