What is glutathione? (pronounced “gloota-thigh-own”)

Glutathione is a major antioxidant and cellular protector found throughout the body. A
high amount can be found in the lining of the respiratory tract and nasal cavities
making it a useful nutrient in the treatment and management of conditions affected
the respiratory system.
Glutathione acts to prevent damage from reactive oxygen species such as free
radicals and peroxides. Dr. Mark Hyman, MD calls it “the mother of all anti- oxidants,
the master detoxifier and maestro of the immune system”.
Below, is an excerpt from his article called, Glutathione: The Mother of all Antioxidants
“The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that
poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and
radiation all deplete your glutathione.
Glutathione is a very simple molecule that is produced naturally all the time in your
body. It is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein or amino acids –
cysteine, glycine and glutamine.
The secret of its power is the sulfur (SH) chemical groups it contains. Sulfur is a
sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body stick
onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals.
Normally glutathione is recycled in the body – except when the toxic load becomes
too great. And that explains why we are in such trouble …”

What is a nebulizer?
In medicine, a nebulizer is a drug delivery device used to administer medication in the
form of a mist inhaled into the lungs.

What is nebulized glutathione used for?
GSH (reduced glutathione) inhalation is an effective treatment for a variety of
pulmonary diseases and respiratory related conditions. Even very serious and difficult
to treat diseases yield benefits from this effective treatment. Conditions include:
Acute respiratory infections
Sinus conditions
Recurring ear infections
Pneumonia
Bronchitis
Emphysema
Chronic cough
Irritation from toxic exposure (fumes, cigarette smoke, allergens)
GSH inhalation is very safe. Because many pulmonary diseases and respiratory related
conditions are affected by deficient antioxidant status, poor oxygenation and/or
impaired host defenses, glutathione remains an excellent choice for correcting these
imbalances. In addition, glutathione is only beneficial for lung conditions when it is
delivered directly to the pulmonary tissue – something that can only be achieved
using a nebulizer.

How long does a treatment take?

Each nebulizer treatment takes between 15-25 minutes, during which time you can
relax in a comfy chair with the mask on, taking deep breathes to ensure the
glutathione gets into the lungs.
