The experts at Infuze MD believe in the natural healing power of the body. Our glutathione IV therapy harnesses the the detoxifying properties of the master antioxidant to help boost your immune system. Glutathione IV therapy has been proven to be an effective supplement for patients with:

Glutathione occurs naturally in the body and is found in almost all of your cells. The liver, spleen, pancreas, and lens and cornea of the eye have the highest concentrations of the antioxidant that protects proteins, aids liver detoxification, and helps remove heavy metals from the body. Glutathione is considered an essential factor in slowing aging, however, glutathione levels decrease with age. Administering glutathione, synthesized from the amino acid cysteine, glutamate, and glycine, restores levels of the antioxidant to detoxify the body. Additionally, we use glutathione-boosting supplements like Redox MD to encourage your body’s natural production of glutathione.

Glutathione and Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is one of the several diseases in which glutathione may play an important role. Many of the things which have been suggested as possible causes of Parkinson’s Disease (including pesticides, iron, copper, zinc, manganese, mercury, lead, aluminum, and certain food-borne toxins) are all oxidative stressors which deplete glutathione levels in the substantia nigra of the brain. A theory has been proposed that low levels of glutathione put people at greater risk for developing Parkinson’s. Experiments in administering glutathione to newly diagnosed patients produce striking improvement in function. When given 600 mg twice a day for 30 days patients showed an average of 42% decline in disability.

Glutathione and Cancer

Glutathione prevents cancer, protecting DNA from damage by detoxifying harmful chemicals and removing them from the body. Low glutathione levels predispose people to cancer. Patients with a variety of malignant disorders were found to have a markedly lowered plasma glutathione level.

Glutathione also fights cancer. It selectively stimulates apoptosis (cell death) of malignant cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected. It does this by regulating the tumor suppressor protein p53. Under normal conditions, the p53 protein senses DNA damage in a cell and slows the rate of cell division, giving the cell time to repair itself. If the DNA cannot be repaired, p53 tells the cell to kill itself (apoptosis). Treatment with glutathione may reverse the cancer development process. Various studies have shown glutathione reverses the development of neuroblastoma, cervical carcinoma, leukemia, and other cancers.

It also seems useful to combine glutathione with certain chemotherapy drugs, especially cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and bleomycin. Glutathione decreases the toxic side effects of these drugs while either not affecting or increasing their therapeutic effect. Glutathione also protects against nerve damage when using cisplatin to treat gastric or ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer frequently responds to chemotherapy treatment in a dose-dependent manner, but toxic side effects frequently limit the amounts given. Using glutathione in conjunction with chemotherapy and radiation allows the use of higher, more effective drug levels while reducing unwanted side effects.
