Hi Rich and all,
I have run tests through Health Research 3 times.
The first test was completed 6/14/2011 and the second on 12/5/2011 and the third on 2/22/2012.
Treatments:
methylB12 2.5 grams 12/09-6/11
hydroxyB12 1 gram 7/11-third test
folinic acid 12/09-8/10 800 mcg daily, 1/11-8/11 400mcg daily, 9/11-third test 800mcg every other day
Milk thistle started 9/2011 no other changes in antioxidants between 1st and 2nd test
Liposomal GSH 500mg 12/2011 no other changes in antioxidants between the 2nd and 3rd test
My reduced glutathione has gone from below the normal range to well within normal. My oxidized has gone from above the normal range to within, but a bit on the high side still.
I suspect a lot of this may be coming from my homemade liposomal glutathione but it is impossible to tell.
The real test I think will be to do a urine isoprostane test again to see if I'm still overproducing free radicals.
My CFS symptoms are only mildly better and the normal glutathione has not helped my bowel symptoms of extreme bloating at all.
