DRAdrianMD on IV Glutathione
[MUSIC PLAYING] Today I'm discussing another very popular IV that I do at my office, and this is intravenous glutathione. This is a sulfur containing compound that is known for being the master antioxidant in the body and detoxifier. Glutathione is very poorly absorbed from the intestines, and it must be taken intravenously to achieve high levels in the body. If you can't do it intravenously, glutathione can be raised in the blood by eating cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, collards, or by taking the sulfur bearing compounds alpha lipoic acid and NAC, N-acetyl cysteine. Patients seek me for glutathione for various conditions. The most popular has been from the book published on it about using glutathione for treating Parkinson's disease. I've treated numerous Parkinson's patients over the years, and I've seen many benefits, including less tremor, more mobility, and even a patient who could leave assisted living and go live on their own. Glutathione can also help improve immunity, help treat other chronic diseases that are made worse by oxidative stress, such as hepatitis. So if you can't take it as an IV, I would encourage you to take those supplements if you suffer from Parkinson's disease. If you'd like to come see me as a patient, I encourage you to make an appointment. It's a very affordable treatment, and I do IV glutathione daily at my office. This is Dr. Adrian MD, and thank you for tuning in.
