Ageing, Autism, and Etc....

Glutathoine is an antioxidant naturally occurring in the body. All cells in the body are capable of Glutathoine production. It is the major antioxidant produced by the cells and is vital in energy production. It is used in the production of DNA and many proteins in the body. Thus, every system in the body can be affected by the state of the glutathione system, especially the immune system, the nervous system, the gastrointestinal system and the lungs. It has a vital function in iron metabolism.

You may be wondering why this is important or even interesting. You don't have to understand the science behind why it's important or why you need appropriate levels to NATURALLY occur in your body. Let me show you some examples of common diseases and disorders that are associated with low levels of Glutathoine and then I will explain why it's not such a simple fix.

 Glutathione deficiency states include, but are not limited to, HIV/AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, prostate and other cancers, cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, radiation poisoning, malnutritive states, arduous physical stress, and aging, and has been associated with lowered immune responses. Many clinical pathologies are associated with oxidative stress and are elaborated upon in numerous medical references. Oxidative stress is the most researched topic on PubMed (a highly reguarded medical research site where articles are peer reviewed for quality. It's where doctors go to do research instead of Google). Low glutathione is also strongly linked to diseases like cancer, AIDS, sepsis, trauma, burns and even athletic overtraining. New research has noted that low levels of Glutathoine is not only linked to aging problems and various diseases, but also developmental disorders in children such as Autism. It is featured in the popular and well known book “Healing and Preventing Autism” by Jenny McCarthy and Jerry Kartzinel. Jenny McCarthy did a lot for awareness of Autism and its possible linkage to vaccinations. Thimerosal has been shown to reduce the levels of Glutathoine naturally occurring in the body. Thimerosal is a common ingredient in many vaccines. Thus the hypothesis....



Overview: Glutathione and Its Potential Uses

Glutathione

Aging AIDS Alcoholism Atherosclerosis Cancer Chemotherapy recovery Dental fillings

Detoxifier Drug addiction Emphysema Glaucoma Hepatitis Hypoglycemia Kidney disease

Liver disease Liver cancer Lungs Mercury poisoning Parkinson’s disease Respiratory problems Smoking Tuberculosis

Low levels of Glutathione are problematic as stated above. The tricky part is what to do about it. It's not as easy as taking a supplement or an intravenous dosage as many patients do. Many Autistic children have been given IV's of Glutathoine but it is extremely expensive and the benefits are short lived because the antioxidant is broken down and utilized at a high rate of speed once in the body. The trick is to get the body to NATURALLY MAKE ITS OWN SUPPLIES! Easier said than done!!

There is a supplement that has been researched and shown to help the body make more Glutathoine NATURALLY! It's not well known yet and consists of natural, safe herbs. The research has shown that it increases Glutathoine production up to 300%!!! That's rather significant!!! I have personally seen some exciting results with patients, friends, and family members. It gives me hope for kids who are suffering from all sorts of diagnoses and are on some strong medications that maybe someday they will be able to function at levels that require no medication. It's also helpful for anyone who is aging! I'm personally taking this. I figure it can't hurt. My 20's are slowly coming to an end. The supplement has been shown to reduce oxidative stress by 40% in 30 days!! Stay tuned for progress as it happens!....... Contact me if you just can't wait! :)

What Is A True Detox?

You often hear about detox when someone talks about weight loss. Through hearing conversations of "experts", it is apparent that there is some confusion on this topic. First it is important to note what detoxing IS and ISN'T.....

Detoxification is the process of removing toxins from the body (basically put). Where are toxins stored you may ask?....in the fat is the most common answer and true, but there is another part to detoxing.......THE LIVER!! The liver is a our largest organ and has a hand in many digestive and endocrine functions. Liver spots are noticed with estrogen dominance. The liver breaks down hormones, decides which cholesterol becomes LDL or HDL, has a role in blood sugar stabilization, works with the gallbladder, breaks down any medications or drugs we put in our system, and is our built-in detoxifier. It is the only organ that can regrow part of itself like a lizard's tail, therefore more likely for mutation defects just because of its nature....all the more reason to take care of the liver! The liver is thought to be responsible for up to 500 separate functions, usually in combination with other systems and organs.Think of the liver as an assembly line worker. If the work load is too much....poor diet, synthetic vitamins, prescription drugs, artificial sweeteners and other chemicals, over weight, regular alcohol consumption, harboring anger or resentment issues, blood sugar issues, cholesterol imbalance, etc....the products build up and bulk up on the assembly line and the poor liver is overwhelmed!!! Another important thing to note is with as little as 10 lbs overweight, the liver can turn in to non-alcoholic fatty liver. The fat accumulates and causes inflammation and scarring to the liver.

A TRUE DETOX cleans the liver, cleans the whole body, and also cleans out FAT where TOXINS  are also stored. Good kidney function is also important to a detox. A detox IS NOT A BOWEL MOVEMENT!!!! Many weight loss systems claim that just because you are having normal bowel movements that you are detoxing. This is simply just not true. Regular bowel movements are part of healthy body function and should happen, I'm not saying that but sometimes the bowel movement is just a bowel movement.... If you aren't having regular bowel movements, that could be for a number of different reasons....lack of digestive enzymes, dehydration, the need of more good fats in your diet, etc. Increasing your consumption of fresh water is a crucial part to detoxing. Think of your body as a stream of water. The more water, the higher the rate of movement of the water. You want the toxins to move our quickly and not hang around inside you. Also the cleaner the stream gets, the more you will notice you are influenced by unhealthy foods or chemicals. A dirty stream doesn't notice an extra piece of trash, but the trash in a clean stream can't help but be noticed!

Also important to mention is while you are doing a detox, you can not be detoxing while eating a "normal" diet. If you are eating muffins and sandwiches and things that can easily be ordered in a restaurant, you are NOT DETOXING!!! To detox your whole system, you have to rid the toxins that you have and not continuously add more with every bite. There are lots of detoxification diets. Basically it's going to be lots of vegetables, half as many fruits as vegetables, no preservatives, no MSG, no pre-packaged foods, and usually no meat until day 10 or 11 or so. It's usually 21 days. Lots of diets are 21 days or so. Have you ever noticed that? The Daniel Fast and many others are 21 days. That's more than likely because research has shown that it takes 21 days to create a new habit and break an old so changing the way you eat is DEFINITELY A HABIT!

If you are interested in doing a detox or losing weight or making a positive change for you health, I encourage you to have someone on your team to help you make the most of the time you invest in your health. Find someone who is knowledgeable in the ways of clinical nutrition and has experience working with vitamins, supplements, herbs, etc. Chiropractors with nutritional emphasis make a wonderful support system and are very knowledgeable in the physiological processes of the human body. Chiropractors actually have more human science courses in their 8 years of study than medical doctors because our focus in the body is different. We don't take all of the pharmacology classes that they do so we have time to focus on the inner works of the amazing body that God made! And that's another thing to make mention of.....God made us this body. We owe it to him to take care of it and treat it as the vessel it is for us to do God's works while we are here on this Earth. When you think of it like that, it really puts things in to perspective! :)
