glutathione IV question

hi all. my doc recommended 600 mg IV Glutathione, twice a week for a month.

since i am pretty poor at this point, i contacted many naturopaths for prices. i told one that i was on disability so he said he would do it for $40. but then i contacted many others, who quoted me anywhere from $85 to $200 per session. this sort of price difference makes me nervous. i am paranoid now and wondering why one doctor is willing to do it so cheaply.

i did check him out and it looks like he is a legit naturopathic doctor though.

can anyone tell me how much this normally costs?

thanks a lot

Oh, this reminds me of my Dr prescribing IV treatment, Myers Cocktail actuallly. His office did not take any insurance, so I went to another Medical establishment that took my insurance which defrayed the cost of the treatments to a co-pay!

The markup is often quite big on IV stuff. It sounds like ND guy might be just offering it to you at cost, which is nice.
Glutathione is usually a 10- minute push, not a drip, so you're not in the chair for a very long time. The range of quotes you got might have been
to include drips, which can go for hours.

The place I go GSH push is $80 + $30 to access my port (outrageous markup.). I think $45 sounds about right for wholesale plus a wee fee for the ND.
