Hi Ray,
Did you find that taking glutathione itself helped at all?. I've read it is not absorbed well and it's better to take the NAC and synthesise the glutatione in your body, but without one of the glutathione enzymes(I'm not sure if you mean an enzyme that helps make glut. or one that breaks it down actually).
Just asking as a doc has just given me some glutathione...personally I would prefer to try the NAC..but I'm wondering if you found any benefit from taking glutathione itself?>
> Don't do that well with methionine alone but do well when I combine it with lysine - wonder if it's helping make carnitine? TMG and B12 are both excellent, but the B12 from intensive nutrition works best - other B12s have made me feel awful!

I was just reading about methione and lysine combined to make carnitine and was wondering whether to try carnitine or methionine..I have already tried l-lysine ..no effect(tried 2 bottles of) but still have another bottle here I can use of lysine. Of course it could be the tablets..with tyrosine I found I had to take the powder(or powder in capules form Thorne Research) and it had a great effect but the tablets did nothing.
> Sorry, I'm going on a bit! Not much more to go! Do well on thorne's st john's wort (hyper-ex), especially if I've eaten too many oranges.OK I've heard from a few diferent people that oranges, adn especially bitter oranges makes them feel better...what is with bitter oranges?
SJW made me anxious..so does niacinamide, and NADH after a while...I haven't worked that out as yet!but any thoughts are most welcome!
Think my cyp3A4 enzyme can be low sometimes, does it work on hydroxylase enzymes too? Interested that it also increases p-glycoprotein, and so helps with glutathione transport across cell membranes (and other conjugates too). For infection, I do well with lactoferrin, medium chain triglycerides and citricidin.....phew, hope you're not overwhelmed or bored!Err overwhelmed..not bored. I've looked at vitamins/minerals for about 20 years..some hormones for about 3 years..but everything else is new, so I'm struggling. Most of the things you are taking are new and interesting ..as well as probably relevant to me.
One thing I could give my feedback on is inflammation and cortisol.
I find that cortisol reduces inflammation. This is different from what some of the writings seem to be saying..or I may have mmisinterpreted?
I think folk use (with me sometimes and only out of desperation) cortisol to reduce inflammtion and antibodies too I think..feels like it.
Prednisone is prescribed (as well as cortisol) to reduce inflammation I think....as in Lupus.Out of all my female cousins, the only one without autoimmune problems (hashimoto/ Lupus) is the one who was on very high dose cortiol for a long period of time (due to a growth?..well something they drained with a shunt.. in her brain). Sorry none of my family seem to not bother with any names of what is actually wrong with them, what they are given to take etc.
