High Dose Anti-Oxidant Therapies

 

 

Intravenous Glutathione

 

Glutathione is the human body's number one anti-oxidant. In Parkinson's disease, there becomes an issue with oxidative damage in the brain as well as lower levels of glutathione. In the clinical progression of Parkinson's, it is known that lower levels of glutathione relate to the increased severity of the disease. Glutathione is imperative to help the body remove free radicals. Free radicals are formed by the normal processes of the body and are increased with chemical and environmental exposure of toxins. Without glutathione, the brain is unable to handle free radicals as well and more damage occurs. With the help of Intravenous glutathione, the brain has more tools to help remove the damaging free radicals.

 

As documented by Dr. Perlmutter, Intravenous Glutathione can dramatically improve Parkinson's symptoms in a short period of time.  As opposed to oral glutathione which has to go through the digestive system to be absorbed in the blood, intravenous glutathione bypassed the absorption difficulties and is directly accessible in the bloodstream. This allows much higher doses of this powerful anti-oxidant to get into the system and do its job in the places that need it the most, the brain!

Fango clay is a localized heat treatment that uses a medicinal wax mixture placed on areas of high lymphatic flow to stimulate circulation and sweating from those areas. During the treatment, the patient lays on a table while a practitioner places pieces of the fango clay onto areas of lymph and detox organs. Then the patient is wrapped in a blanket and lays for approx 45 min. The patient will feel deep relaxation while the blood circulation is increased and the body sweats releasing toxins.
