I have personal experience with this. I went to a doctor and took some glutathione through IV and it seemed to do nothing. I started coffee enemas and bitter herbs to increase the liver function and after a month I went back to the doctor for another IV of glutathione. This time all sorts of benefits became noticeable. It was like night and day between the two. It became a very good experiment to show how glutathione works in my body. I deal with mercury and its affect as well as other toxins. If you are dealing with the affects as well, you should know that glutathione should be part of the mercury detox but you should know that there is, what Dr. Shade calls, three phases, shown here;

[Editor's Note: The above URL and website are no longer active.]
This chart by Dr. Shade shows the 3 phases and how it should work and when it doesn't work. You take the mercury out of the cell in the first phase. Then it is carried through the blood to the liver or kidneys in the second phase. Finally it moves through the liver, into the bile duct and into the intestines in the last phase. If you use an intestinal metal sweep to lock onto the mercury it can be moved out of the intestines into the toilet. To start the detox it is best to work backwards in the 3 phases. Start with the liver by coffee enemas, herbs or red beet root. At the same time detox the kidneys with a good herbal cleaner that contains Didymocarpus pedicellata and Saxifraga ligulata. The next step would be to start the glutathione for the second phase so the mercury can move to the third phase. Lastly, in phase 1 you would take R-ALA, EDTA or if you can get one of the other things like DMSA so that the mercury can move to the last phase. If you do this you must be careful not to cut loose to much mercury, at any one time, as you will be bed ridden from the side effects of moving out the mercury. You also need to take 4 days off of phase 1 for every 3 days you do the phase 1 detox. I think that there is some other things that is overlooked by this approach. Mercury gets locked up in calcium. Your body may have stashed calcium in places it doesn't belong. Talking vitamin K2 can cause a clean out of calcium in the body as well as moving calcium to the bones. This will cut loose mercury that is attached to calcium so be careful of vitamin K2 or anything that dissolves calcium in the body. Next is the use of enzyme therapy. Enzymes can digest cysts and cancer tumors in the body and can release mercury. If you have done any of these things and it made you feel awful, this may be the reason why.
I know that glutathione is destroyed by stomach acid so I started with liposomal Glutathione but I have found Glutathione patches out there as well as Glutathione suppositories but they are all very expensive. Try a search of your own to see for yourself. I would like to try making a trans dermal glutathione using DMSO and glutathione as well as glutathione suppositories but I can't find anything on doing these things. So if you know anything or have done these things please post it here. I would love to hear from you. :)

Your anti-aging Dr would prefer you to pay them for glutathione IV rather. I have been having so much success with a mix of glutathione, sovereign silver and saline in my nebulizer.

Consuming concentrated Sprouts provides absorbable form of Glutathione plus other natural antioxidants like Methionine Reductase, Catalase, and Superoxide Dismutase. As for boosting Glutathione my standard regimen and recommendation here on E.C. is supplementing Selenium, NAC, and Melatonin.
As for cheating mercury I agree on the ALA pulling it from wherever it's hiding and bringing it to the liver to be absorbed by either Activated Charcoal or Bentonite Clay for removal. Also, from what I understand, Selenium itself is a good "reducer" of mercury.
As for supplementing Glutathione, Liposomal is Ok but probably a better bang for the buck is Lipo Vit-C taken with MSM, for antioxidant purposes. I take a dose of the above once daily, but my favorite taken every-other-day is a combination of Liposomal Reduced Glutatione plus CoQ10 and I also add a few drops or capsule of Tocotreinols for maximum antioxidant potential. But most noticeable is the ENERGY boost that is not possible with oral soft gels or caps of regular CoQ10 or Ubiquinol.

What exactly of my interpretation of Glutathione do you disagree with. I went to the link just now and it is fine and clean. My McAffe is fine with it so I can't explain your problem. Here is a Youtube video to him; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXKLNCG9U8&list=PL9772D116E8D7D4EA&index=2. Christopher Shade PHD is a researcher and has studied this to death. If you disagree it is not with me but with him and that is pretty hard to do. The other person you would disagree with is David Hammond, author of Mercury Poisoning.
My main point in writing this is that you should be aware that Glutathione latches onto toxins like mercury and carries it to the liver where it goes into the bile and through the bile ducts to the intestines whether it is your own native Glutatione or some that you supplemented with. If your bile is thick or your bile ducts are plugged up, Glutathione cannot do it's job and I have proven that to myself with Glutathione IVs before and after a liver detox and bile duct thinning. Is that what you disagree with? I just had another Glutathione IV and it gave even better results as I have continued with my liver detox. I would like you to look at the Chris Shade video and maybe one of his other newer and longer videos and take another look at what I have written here.
Everything here I have written about is of my own experience with detoxing from Mercury for myself. I have tried all kinds of things that stirred up the mercury and just made me miserable and nothing changed. When I did the liver and bile detox it is going much better and I am progressing. I just want to help others through my own experience with what Dr. Shade has given us.
Another point I did not make that natural production of Glutathione is reduced by age after 30 years old and becomes less and less as you age. I believe, and this is my own thought, is that when you have mercury poisoning for years your ability to produce Glutathione is diminished. I think it is just a matter of time until research proves this to be true. Dr. Shade also points out that research shows that some people do a good job at natural detox of mercury while others do a moderate job of detox, some to not so well and a few do a very bad job of it. So in case of poorly detoxing of mercury it is necessary to supplement Glutathione. I have my Glutathione powder and I have started experimenting with it and it works. There is also a company that makes Glutathione patches and blood tests of user showing a 300% increase in blood Glutathione over a 24 hour period.
I am sure that what you are saying is true for the young and healthy that do not have silver mercury amalgam fillings and never had them or those that have not been exposed to other heavy metals or other toxicants. For the not so healthy I think that supplementing with Glutathione may be very helpful if done in the proper way.

During heavy metal detox it is good to do the Glutatione supplementation and therapeutic doses is advised, but it is also important to boost one's own Glutathione production by supplementing NAC, Selenium, and Melatonin. And yes, Charcoal, Fiber, or Bentonite Clay is good for removing undetoxified metals from the gut so they don't go back into circulation where you feel terrible and sick again.

Now about me, I have had a long history with silver mercury amalgams starting at around 7 years old with my first and just a few years after that having a mouth full. Then at 21 having my first root canal which stirred it all up and after a few months I had my first irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. This went away until I had my next root canal and it happen all over until IBS and CFS was permanent. At age 37 I began to loose weight until I had 1% fat. I did Bernard Jensen's bowel clean out program and that helped because it also included coffee enemas to clean out the bile ducts and gall bladder and it included chlorella. That only lasted a little while so I started my first removal of the mercury fillings. With each jaw of fillings I removed I gained back 10 pounds of my natural weight. I continued the chlorella for years but it wasn't enough and it all came back to the point of fibromyalgia and that lasted for years until I found Earth Clinic and Ted. I tried all the things he posted that might have anything to do with me but last June I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and I never smoked. Using what Ted has taught here in EC plus some things I learned on my own, I kicked this cancer and it was gone in record time. In fact my oncologist's head snapped back when he looked at my first PET scan. His prediction was that I would be dead by now. I have always had a first class diet that should stimulate the production of Glutathione including all the things that you mentioned. I am living proof that that was not enough. I still have the IBS and Fibro and the only thing that stops it in its tracks is taking the liposomal Glutathione. The only thing that helps on a permanent basis is the slow removal of mercury from my system of which Glutathione supplementation is a part of. The Glutathione IVs that I mentioned in my other post makes me light headed at first then clears my brain fog. My very tight intestines begin to relax and I can hear and feel the food start to move through. All the tight and sore muscles in my body begin to relax. The things you mention that will stimulate my own Glutathione production does not work I need more. I've been taking ALA for years to control elevated blood sugar. I started NAC last January and I have been taking 6 grams or more of vitamin C a day for over a year. I don't think you can name anything I have not taken or that I am currently taking.
The point is Timh that there are some of us that have diseases of inflammation and those of us with blood sugar problems that can be helped with proper Glutathione supplementation then there will be a few of us that will produce their own adequate supply of Glutathione into their nineties. I think the important thing for each of us is to be able to deduce where we are on the chart so we know what will work best for ourselves. We need to understand that the natural things will not always work and we may need a jump start. If you have read anything on Orthomolecular Medicine, you will see this is part of their thinking.

This one cover the subject of mercury removal much more in depth that the other video in the last link. It is a 5 part video though but you could watch it over time. He does state that when you start this process you remove much more than mercury and that all toxins start to come out. He mentions genetics and epigenetics as being factors in how well a body removes toxins in the body. This supports my thinking that mercury poisoning in the body can interrupt the bodies ability to naturally detox mercury.
