Several recent scientific articles have found a direct correlation between Glutathione levels and viral activity for hepatitis B and C. When viral load increases, Glutathione decreases. Researchers from Germany report that adding NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) to HBV producing cells lines can reduce
hepatitis
viral load 50 fold. Glutathione is used by the liver to help break down toxins. Patients who have chronic infection for more than 90 days should ask their physicians to check their Glutathione levels. A test kit is available from ImmunoSciences Labs; contact information is included. An amino acid, L-Glutamine, can be used with Alpha
Lipoic Acid
and NAC to increase Glutathione levels. Chlorophyll also offers benefits to people with
hepatitis
and other infections. Instructions on how to use a special retention enema containing chlorophyll, water, and apple cider vinegar are provided.
