Seminar Report

The seminar was presented by Thomas E. Levy, MD. The focus was on the role of glutathione in anti-aging medicine.

Summary- The most powerful antioxidant : Glutathione

• Most disease that is highly symptomatic has minimal anti-oxidative status
• People that have utilize high dosage vitamin C therapy has such profoundly positive outcomes
• Vitamin C is the most important extracellular antioxidant
• Glutathione is the most important antioxidant inside the cell

it is extremely concentrated inside the cell

· Vitamin C w/glutathione is synergistic

· Glutathione

o an important toxin neutralizer

o support of protein and prostaglandin synthesis

o support amino acid transport across cell membrane

o support immune system

o support of critical enzyme function

· The greater the deficiency of glutathione the greater the heart damage during a heart attack

· The greater glutathione the greater the exercise efficiency

· Neurological disease has been linked to a deficiency in glutathione levels in the neurons

· Note* Tylenol depresses glutathione levels...

· The greater intake of acetaminophen the more damage to the lung function

In Conclusion:

Glutathione empowers each cell to function at its full potential, thus promoting the following:

• Healthy aging
• Neutralization of free radicals
• Energy and Stamina
• Optimal cellular health
• Recovery from exercise
• Detoxification of the body at the cellular level
• The immune system

Most anti-oxidants work from the outside-in, while glutathione is such a force within the cell that it works from the inside-out. As the body’s most powerful and prevalent antioxidant, as well as a natural detoxifier, glutathione is essentially a cell protector. It has the power to do what no other anti-oxidant can-including well-known substances such as vitamin C and E. It is found in very cell of the human body. And since your body is composed of trillions of cells, your complete health is dependent upon your cellular health. As the cell goes, so goes the entire organism – your body.
