Inhaled glutathione as option for cystic fibrous

Inhaled glutathione is a promising option for people that lack the ability to produce glutathione naturally. The highest concentrations of glutathione are found in the liver, then the kidneys, and finally the lungs.

These organs function to eliminate wastes, heavy metals, and toxins. Most of us are not normally aware of toxins, unless it is an unusually smoggy day and suddenly we have difficulty breathing.

For some groups including those with asthma and cystic fibrous, difficulty breathing is an unfortunate side effect of their diseases. Glutathione is found in the cell fluid surrounding the lungs.

Asthmatics can often be seen using inhalers to open up their lungs to bring in more oxygen, because the level of glutathione necessary for normal function is low.

If the air ways are not opened up quickly, then they become tightened and inflamed. As they swell the breathing becomes more difficult, and cells in the airways make more mucus than normal. Leading to coughing and choking as the person tries to get air and keep down the mucus at the same time.

As a former Olympic athlete , when I lived and trained in Los Angeles, I had the misfortune of suffering from sports induced asthma. It is a scary feeling trying to get air, and feeling like you are choking at the same time, because of the accumulation of mucus.

Inhaled glutathione was not an option at that time, but I could often be seen using my bronchodilator inhaler.

As a group, asthmatics are relatively better off than those that have cystic fibrous in the sense that lung functionality is greater for asthmatics and they tend to live well into their old age.

Those with cystic fibrous suffer from chronic breathing difficulties brought about by excess mucus lining the lungs and respiratory tubes. This causes repeated respiratory lung infections.

Over time, the recurrent infections result in lung damage characterized by the formation of fibrous cysts, which is where the disease got its name. This continual burden on the entire respiratory system becomes difficult to manage thus contributing to the early death of cystic fibrosis patients.

There are a number of treatments for cystic fibrous including bronchodilators, and now some are investigating inhaled glutathione. Here is an article that talks about inhaling glutathione.

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and a strong inflammatory agent. One of its other major properties as mentioned above is the ability to detoxify the body and rid it of toxins. For more of glutathione's properties click here.

Toxins come in many forms, but one of the most damaging to the human body is the action of free radicals. They function to damage the cells of the body if they are not removed quickly.

For those suffering with cystic fibrous, free radicals are harming their body constantly, since the levels of glutathione are dangerously low for them, and leads to death in their 30’s.

Some people that suffer with cystic fibrous already take glutathione to help manage their disease. As I have mentioned on this site on numerous occasions not all glutathione is the same, click here to read more about glutathione supplements.

I have used glutathione produced by Immunotec Inc for over 3 years to help with my asthma that often developed into serious bronchitis. Immunotec’s brand of glutathione is Immunocal in the U.S., and HMS 90 in Canada. I have had amazing results, which you can read by clicking here.

Inhaled glutathione maybe an added option for those that suffer from cystic fibrous, and it appears that it might soon be offered to treat this rare disease. For more about the orphan designation of glutathione in the treatment of this disease click here.
