TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA - April 20, 2005 - A slew of recent evidence
and rare US and International patents have accelerated research on one
of the body's chief defences against illness, the essential, yet
little-known protein, glutathione (GSH). Medical patents for natural
health interventions are few and far between in the world of
chemically-based drugs.
"In the next five or six years, people are going to be using the word
glutathione as commonly as they use the word vitamin C or
antioxidant," says Dr. Jimmy Gutman, a Montreal-based physician and
author of "GSH, Your Body's Most Powerful Protector, Glutathione".
Because GSH plays so many roles in cell metabolism, overwhelming
research now supports its application in scores of diseases, including
cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue syndrome
and fibromyalgia. But that's just the tip of the medical iceberg.
"Glutathione is virtually involved in dozens of critical cell
processes and without it we would succumb to our environment literally
within hours," says Gutman.
Drawing on his experience as an academic, clinician and former
Undergraduate Director of Emergency Medicine at McGill University,
Gutman has shifted his focus to concentrate on the research and
clinical application of glutathione. McGill has been a leader in the
research of this essential molecule for more than two decades.
Among the most compelling findings to date is the "very fantastic
research" pertaining to the universal disease, aging, and the
consequences of the inevitable drop in GSH levels seen in age-related
diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson's and prostate cancer.
In essence, GSH is a tripeptide made up of three amino acids,
including the difficult-to-obtain cysteine. It's superior function
lies in its frontline defence against infection and the daily
bombardment of environmental toxins.
To put the significance of GSH in perspective, several medical authors
have likened this critical substance to the powers of penicillin. It's
potent anti-oxidant and anti-viral properties are now highly
recognized.
Although GSH was first discovered in 1888, it has been slow to surface
on the medical radar screen. Because of scarce funding, coupled with
little interest or awareness by the medical community, the role that
glutathione plays in cell metabolism has been highly overlooked.
That is changing. Compared to a few dozen research publications in the
1970s, today there are more than 60,000 medical articles published on
glutathione.
While the evidence clearly supports the role of GSH, the difficulty
lies in obtaining adequate levels to combat illness and maintain
health. The essential precursors of GSH must be able to make it from
the mouth to the gut then through the cells walls. There lies the
challenge.
According to Gutman, "At some point we all drop our levels of life-
enhancing GSH. There's a constant demand for glutathione and the
precursors or building blocks are getting rarer in the average North
American diet."
A very simple cysteine-rich protein extracted from milk may provide
the catalyst to raising GSH levels.
Martin Joynes, a semi-retired researcher, experienced hands-on
evidence of the power of raising his GSH levels. For years, Joynes
suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia that countless
medical practitioners were not able to recognize nor treat.
When Joynes became so debilitated that he considered purchasing a
walker or a wheel chair by his early 50s, he decided to take charge of
his own health. After doing extensive research, then boosting his GSH
levels, he regained his mobility and natural high energy. "Within a
week, I realized I didn't hurt anymore," says Joynes. "I just got
better and better. It was so simple and so astounding."
Joynes has never looked back. Today, he continues to maintain his GSH
levels, is vibrant and healthy, and "rarely gets a cold."
Gutman is not surprised by Joynes's experience. "Doctors are the last
ones to really be on top of nutrition or supplements," says Gutman.
"But you're going to see a paradigm shift towards using whatever is
available that stands up to scientific rigor and clinical tests."
