By Michelle Alpert, D.O. The world we’re living in today is a toxic
minefield — from vaccines to pesticides to antibiotic-laden foods to
mercury-poisoned fish to pollution both indoors and outdoors. It’s
no wonder so many people are suffering from fatigue and chronic
illness, as well as chronic infections with viruses, bacteria and
fungi.
In order to
detoxify, I recommend a very effective detoxification “drip” to my
patients. My patients know I believe in it, because I get it myself.
On long, busy workdays, I can often be found at my office desk,
conducting consults with an IV drip that is helping heal my body
even as I help heal my patients. This specialized “detox”
intravenous drip is one that has helped patients of mine with
chronic fatigue syndrome, lyme disease, multiple sclerosis and
Guillain-Barre syndrome. It contains typical vitamins and minerals
like Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, B5 and B6, but more importantly,
it contains precursors to glutathione, as well as glutathione
itself. The precursors include two amino acids, glycine and cysteine.
Together with
glutathione, they pack a powerful punch that truly assists the body
in meeting the demands of modern life. There is a remarkable amount
of evidence that glutathione is hugely important in detoxification,
and has so many benefits that it can help patients with a range of
conditions. Glutathione is found in every cell in your body.
Glutathione scavenges free radicals, detoxifies heavy metals, helps
ferry amino acids into the cells, helps in bile production, and much
more. Because of all its capacities, glutathione is crucial in
maintaining immunity.
We don’t get a
lot of glutathione in our diet and even then, not much is absorbed
directly into the blood. Glutathione is synthesized by our bodies
from amino acids. If our bodies cannot make enough glutathione to
keep up with the chronic toxic load from infections and poisons, we
may end up with immune dysfunction. Stress can also deplete
glutathione, because increased adrenaline suppresses glutathione
production. In animal studies, glutathione has been shown to protect
against liver cancer; it has also been used in humans to protect
them from kidney damage from chemotherapy drugs. It protects kidney
function in patients undergoing bypass surgery.
In aerosol form,
glutathione quenches inflammation in cystic fibrosis patients. This
wonderful substance has even been shown to increase insulin
production in older individuals who have impaired sugar metabolism.
Glutathione also seems to inhibit herpes viruses and has been shown
to help reduce viral load in hepatitis C patients. David Perlmutter,
a Florida neurologist, found that intravenous glutathione helps
relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Glutathione increases
sensitivity to dopamine, which is depleted in Parkinson’s. It may
also protect against neurotoxins that may be implicated in the
disease. Dr. Perlmutter gave 1400 milligrams of intravenous
glutathione three times a week to his Parkinson’s patients, whose
symptoms improved, while they were able to reduce the amount of
their drugs.
