I'm wondering about opinions on the better supplement to use to help with detoxing.

Son's llmd recommended (when I asked her about detox support/help) liposomal glutathione.

I've read online (from Cowden, who I believe uses the following) that he said better detoxers than the glutathione are Pinella, Burbur and Parsley.

I only want to do one or the other for my son. Was ready to get the glutathione until I read that.

I also recently heard an online interview with Dr. K (out west, Sophia institute) and he said that he believes Melatonin is better than glutathione. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it was almost like, don't bother with the glutathione, do the melatonin.

I'm actually leaning toward the glutathione, b/c that's what his llmd recommended, and I don't know how to dose on the others really. I don't like going with things on my own, if that makes sense.

any suggestions? Thanks!

I didn't know melatonin was for detox. I know it's for sleeping, but not detoxing.

I use pinella and burbur...but if I could get glutathione - via IV , I would probably try that. I have read mixed reviews on the oral glutathione (even the liposomal).

You could try the glutathione and see how it is.

Burbur and pinella - I take it as needed when herxing. 10 drops of each in 1/4 glass of water...wait 5-10 minutes and sip on it.

If I do pinella alone, I do 20 drops.

thank you Girlie

I had never heard of the melatonin for detox either. Dr. K mentioned it in a talk from the autism one conference that took place recently in MN I think. Betterhealthguy posted the talk (about an hour long) on his Facebook page, if you're interested in the details.

Glutathione is especially good if there are genetic mutations affecting methylation. I find that liposomal glutathione (I can't get IV) helps me get through bad herx which I wasn't able to get through before I starting taking it. I find it to be amazing stuff.

I also take burbur and pinella twice a day, as part of my general detox. I take more when needed. They help loads - and have helped reduce my need for pain killers by reducing inflammation. I tried parsley as well, but I didn't find it added anything.

If I were you, I'd try glutathione first and see if it helps. I wish I'd been able to try it sooner.

thank you Celeste15!

I think I will go with the l-glutathione. I hear people like yourself and others say it has helped, and it's what son's llmd suggested, and since we're with her, I'll try that one and see how it goes.

I've heard to go slowly. hmm, where did I read that? Can't remember, but have you heard that too? To dose a bit less than the recommended dose?

thanks!

Stacestar - I've not especially heard about going slowly with glutathione, but I would always advocate going slowly with everything, as you never know what reaction there will be. I don't think our bodies always react as the textbooks expect! It's always easier to increase once you know things are OK. Wishing your son well!
