A message from Dr. Jimmy Gutman:
With the recent outbreak of bioterrorism, I have been flooded with concerns
about how glutathione might relate to the anthrax scare.
My initial statement would be to urge the general public to suppress their
paranoia about this potential infection. This is not an easy organism to
produce or sustain in a laboratory, nor is it easy to transmit. Acquiring
the infection does not represent "the kiss of death" as well.
In general terms, raising glutathione levels has clearly been shown to
enhance the immune response against any foreign antigen, including viruses,
bacteria and fungi. Many studies have shown the efficacy of Immunocal
against organisms as diverse as HIV, hepatitis, streptococcus and
staphylococcus infections. This immune modulation likely extends towards the
majority of infections we may face.
Looking at the anthrax organism, there are no studies involving Immunocal
directly. Until recently, this has not been an area of too much concern.
However there have been published studies investigating the relationship of
glutathione in anthrax infections. Two studies are of particular interest.
A Harvard Medical School study found that much of the toxic effect exerted
by the anthrax organism was due to chemicals releasing high levels of free
radicals. This was one of the factors causing cellular damage and death.
Moreover, they found that raising glutathione provided partial protection
against the toxins involved. Mol Med 1994 Nov;1(1):7-18 Role of macrophage
oxidative burst in the action of anthrax lethal toxin. Hanna PC, Kruskal BA,
Ezekowitz RA, Bloom BR, Collier RJ. PMID: 8790597
An earlier study done in Russia suggested that infected individuals with
strong glutathione capabilities would do better against anthrax infection.
Biull Eksp Biol Med 1989 Mar;107(3):288-91 Effect of the lethal Bacillus
anthracis toxin on phagocytosis and the dynamics of the change in the enzyme
activity of the antioxidative system of peritoneal mononuclear phagocytes in
mice with differing hereditary immunity to anthrax]. [Article in Russian]

In these times of uncertainty, although only indirect evidence is cited, the
responsible person would want to do whatever possible to limit the
possibilities of contagious disease. Given a product that has negligible
downside and many other positive effects, the choice is easy.
