Debbie, in a new book recently released called: The Ultimate GSH Handbook, by Jimmy Gutman, MD, FACEP page 25: "In chronic infections such as hepatitis C or AIDS, GSH (glutathione) depletion is even more pronounced. Recent research has demonstrated that elevated GSH levels address these infections more effectively." then on page 75: "GSH in the treatment of viral hepatitis - Weiss and his team at the Max Planck Institute demonstrated the anti viral properties on NAC in human tissue cultures. Watanbe found that Immunocal, a natural GSH precursor, to be effective in improving liver function abnormalities and immunological parameters in hepatitis B patients. These improvements continued even after the treatment ended, reflecting the long-term benefits of such an approach. Treatment options for chronic hepatitis C sufferers are far from ideal. Barbaro et al eloquently described the systemic depletion of GSH in hepatitis C patients, suggesting that this deficiency could explain their resistance to interferon therapy. Beloqui's team confirms this in a controlled study of hepatitis C positive individuals. By successfully raising one group's GSH levels with NAC therapy, they showed that interferon therapy was enhanced." Immunocal is a natural way for the body to increase GSH levels, proven by 20+ years of research including Phase I, II & III trials and is covered in some cases by insurance.
