Duh....

Ok, this is giving me something to think about other than watching the weather channel. I live in south florida, and the tropics have been busy.

I couldn't figure any of this out, wikipedia has helped a little:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutathione


I gather that all of our cells manufacture this stuff, and it is inside us either in reduced form (it's given up an o2 molecule) or it hasn't donated it's o2 molecule to get rid of something called a 'disulfide bond's, which turns cytoplasmic proteins to cysteines. Then the Glutathione molecule can get another o2 molecule after it has given one up, if it comes accross an o2 molecule.

Essentially, you can figure out how much toxic stuff is inside the cell by measureing how much of the Glutathione still has it's o2, or how much is wandering around minus it's o2.

You want to have about 90% without it's o2, and about 10% with it's o2, if this is out of whack, you are TOXIC!!!!

How did you get toxic? You got a bacteria in there, or you had a parasite with dumped some in your system, you ate something that really tasted good, (like fried potatoes with lots of msg) but had something in it that was really bad for you.

So can you go buy a bottle of glutathione? Nope, that doesn't work, you have to take three grams of it to get any effect. How do you get more of the right kind of glutathione so you can get rid of any toxic stuff (mercury maybe) that is in your cells?

You can take undenatured whey protein, or something called N-acetylcysteine, which helps your cells produce more glutathione, so you don't have broken down dying cells because they are full of whatever toxic stuff that isn't good for you that got inside the cell somehow or other.

Why is this relevant to your liver? livers remove all the crud out of your blood stream, they work like the oil filter in a gasoline engine, they clean the crud out of your blood, and then instead of waiting for you to change the filter, they dump in into your gall bladder, and then into your stomach. If you have flukes in your liver, or stones in your liver or your gall bladder or your liver gets damaged by a disease or is otherwise slowed down, then your blood is full of stuff that shouldn't be there.

So if you are also going Duh, this is pretty complicated stuff. If I have any of this wrong, please jump in and correct this, I never got past high school chemestry, and that was a long time ago.
