Nebulized glutathione & negative feedback loop

I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience nebulizing glutathione for pneumonia and especially if anyone knows whether doing so would cause a negative feedback loop with glutathione production.

Clarification - Am I correct in interrupting that you nebulizing glutathione during an pneumonia infection?

I'm guessing here when I say that nebulizing anything (except albuterol) in the lungs during a bout of pneumonia might not be recommended. Once the infection is well on its way to clearing a persons lungs might be just as effective and not carry the risk on prolonging the pneumonia. I'm probably looking at this wrong as I'm just going by experience form a couple of past pneumonia infections with my children when younger.

Physicians just seem to be very guarded when it comes to introducing anything in the lungs (except albuterol) when a pneumonia infection has its hold on the lungs.

I would certainly like to hear other opinions as well!

Yes, chronic low grade c.pneumoniae.

It appears any form of glutathione will reduce endogenous production. So won't be nebulizing.
