Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement, and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement. The primary symptoms of Parkinsons are due to excessive muscle contraction, normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is produced in the dopaminergic neurons of the...
Hello all,
I was diagnosed with PD December 16th of 2008. I didnt want to believe it so I went to 5 neurologists. One is nationally known. Since the beginning I was over medicated by 4 or the five with major bad side effects. I settled on the neurologist who only prescribed Azilect and Amantadine and stopped carbidopa, requip, and Mirapex. The others all wanted to increase the med's when negative side effects occured.
Now I work with the one less medicating neurologist and two naturopaths. Ive found very good relief of symptoms with six supplements taken with Azilect and Amantadine with little side effects.
Recently I researched the use of L-Glutathione in Europe. I asked my naturopath about it and she recommended a nasal spray prescription.
It was very low cost and I thought Id try it.
I did try it and my body responded very well. I now have almost normal energy, 30-40% less tremor and less rigidity.
Right now (after 10 days of use) I am very happy to have started using it.
I searched this blog and couldnt find any info on L-Glutathione so or anybody who has used it.
So now I thought Id ask the question:
Has anybody research its use or had any experience using it.
Please reply
PS Im not selling it or recommending its use, but I am using it. I am only looking for more knowledge and want to share information only.
Thanks

I'm not saying I'm cured, just that using L-Glutathione has given me lots more energy and I feel better now. When you/I find that cure let's share
* The IV treatment is NOT an injection, it is an IV. You have to sit at the doctor's for an hour or so with an needle in your vein. When mom tried this for a few weeks, it really did help her-- but between the tremors and bad veins, there were real dangers associated with just keeping the line in, so we had to stop.
* Haven't heard about the nasal spray.
* We tentatively tried the liposomal glutathione, but we didn't really give it a chance-- Mom was out of state, and I did not trust home health care aids to administer it properly. This is glutathione inside a little liposomal nanocage that you take orally, it is supposed to get through the blood-brain barrier. Readisorb sells it, it's not that expensive, and they were easy to deal with. Here is the link:

If this works for any of you, please post back. Our neurologist thought this was safe, but wasn't sure if was effective. One good peer-reviewed Italian study said it worked very well, but there is no funding for research because you cannot patent glutathione.
Best,
