Glutathione: What dosage do you use? Where do you get it?

Hi @caontm, I've been nebulizing with glutathione for a couple of years along with my saline but I don't do the glutathione every day because it isn't cheap. I get it from my functional medicine doctor. I use 1ml at a time when I use it. Does it work? Who knows. But I haven't had MAC return in a few years and I've had no progression for almost four years.

Hi Nan!!
Happy Fourth! Hope you are well!
I am just circling back on the glutathione. I was so focused and determined to get it and did as you know. I just think I am not tolerating it well. I started at the 1 cc dose, just once a day and was experiencing a very heavy chest which is unusual for me. It was almost continuous. So I skipped a day...then went down to .5 dose once and did okay a few times at that dose then heavy chest started again. So I skipped a couple days...went away. So tried again and heavy chest returned even at the lower dose. Have you ever noticed this when you use it?
I remember reading an article/study when I researched the glutathione that said it can make asthma symptoms worse in some people especially very asymptomatic people. I have never had Asthma symptoms except the very infrequent heavy chest. Anyway, I think I am going to have to stop the G. Bummed.
Also do you practice airway clearance techniques, Nan? If so, what do you do? These also seem to aggravate the heck out of my lungs and rarely do I have any results. If I do it is a miniscule amount of clearish to slightly pale yellow mucus. Sometimes I actually feel something move when I do the coughs after but then nothing makes it out. One pulmonary told me don't do it but they really emphasis the importance of this in everything I read.
One exciting thing is the head of a prestigious medical school here is taking me on as a patient of sorts. He is a friend of a friend. President of this University and also a pulmonary specialist that did his fellowship at National Jewish! He has assembled a team of specialists to review all my history and I will meet with them Wed. I have already had 2 one hour calls with him. He is so sharp and very thorough. I am curious to see what they come up with and then what from there....not sure if this is a one time thing (sort of a consult) but he said worse case he would get me into Denver. But he does not especially feel I will need that. He was happy with everything I am doing but had NO COMMENT on the glutathione 8-))))
Thanks, Nan!!
