<<Roger Mason in his book"The Natural Prostate Cure" says to take N-Acetyl-Cysteine which breaks down and enhances glutathione levels very effectively and safely,and is very economical.This will raise your glutathione levels,especially raising your immunity. Harold >>
Hi Harold; That's old science. Unfortunately Roger and a lot of doctors still recommend NAC (and edible GSH). Problem is that it has a half-life of only two hours in the body, so must be given several times a day. That's why it's only useful in the short term for emergencies. Seems Roger may not have heard of the toxicity levels of NAC, or the paragraph of side effects even at low doses, though these are well-known. Who is this guy? We now know that if the NAC is withdrawn (or in between doses) the body's GSH levels plummet often to well below initial levels. What that means is accelerated free radical damage, lipid peroxidation, lowered immune system and several etc's...like a resurgence of infection or disease you have that's linked to lowered GSH levels, and that's most of them... until the GSH levels are brought up again. This is not a desireable long-term therapy. Perhaps you have milk thistle growing nearby; a better long-term therapy is to eat the roots. What is proven and is the best way is indeed Immunocal. Immunocal is the only whey isolate tested by the FDA for this purpose, and it is mentioned specifically in many Medline abstracts. http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/00/slides/3652s1_05/sld001.htm -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
