Other Glutathione Agents

Spirulina, Selenium, Vitamin C, s-adenosylmethionine (SAMe),

N acetyl cysteine (NAC) and Alpha lipoic acid (ALA).

Intake of ascorbate acid helps conserve GSH, and SAMe is required in the manufacture of all sulfur-containing compounds in the human body including glutathione. ALA and NAC both raise glutathione levels. Glutathione itself can be administered either transdermally or sprayed directly in the lungs as an aerosol. Spirulina, as medicinal food, holds down the entire nutritional foundation for all the biochemical processes in the body and facilitates crucial processes like glutathione formation with all its protective assets.

Animals given sodium fluoride in drinking water showed that fluoride in public water supplies can significantly reduce the activity of glutathione peroxidase.

A clear understanding of the interrelationships among glutathione, nutrition, and oxidative stress is clinically relevant. Glutathione concentrations are sensitive to diet and nutritional status. Applying this information gives a return when navigating the dangers of heavy metal detoxification and chelation. Strategies to rapidly restore glutathione for both antioxidant and immune defense systems are crucial especially in malnourished patients. And since we have discussed how nutritional values are dropping precipitously, and how difficult it is for an autistic child or mercury poisoned individual to absorb nutrients well, we should seriously consider all the powerful options spirulina holds.

Our biological systems were not created to deal with thousands of chemical assaults on our bodies. Even under normal conditions (which no longer exist) the liver’s defensive detoxification system needs important nutrients from our diet in order to function. Because of poor diet and the rapidly declining nutritional status of food, most people are not eliminating the environmental toxins that are continually absorbed, each and every day. The liver is the major detoxification centre of the body that fails in its function when deprived of the proper amino acids. A liver starved of vital nutrients does not detoxify as rapidly or as completely as a well-fed healthy liver. Slower detoxification results in more toxic substances circulating in the body. Unchanged or partially changed toxins are not easily eliminated and instead pass from the liver into the body. Eventually the toxins are stored in fatty body tissue including the brain and central nervous system cells. Stored toxins may be slowly released into the blood, contributing to many chronic illnesses.

Milk Thistle is an herb recognized since ancient times for its medicinal value. It grows in moderate climates of North America and Europe, easily recognized by its large purple thistle-like flower heads. By the Middle Ages, the seed of the milk thistle plant was used to support liver functions, to promote the flow of bile and as a general tonic for the stomach, spleen, gallbladder and liver. Milk Thistle consists of three potent liver protective flavonoids: silybin, silydianin and silychristin. Collectively these are known as silymarin. To be effective, milk thistle products must be standardized to contain this active blend. Kirkman's Milk Thistle is standardized to contain 80% silymarin. Recent research has indicated that silymarin helps to protect against the depletion of the antioxidant glutathione in liver cells.
