Glutathione / S-AcetylGlutathione

Glutathione / S-AcetylGlutathioneWhat is Glutathione / S-AcetylGlutathione?Glutathione is a very important tripeptide (protein-building block) that is built up form the amino-acids Glycerine, Cystein and Glutamat. S-AcetylGlutathione contains another acetyl-group that leads to a better bio-availability of Glutathione and can be split up any time when required. What function do they both have? Glutathione contains a SH-group that under physiological conditions of the body and cells can give of electrons. Because of this property, free radicals (and hydroperoxide) can be dismantled, e.g. those radicals that arise due to the high O2 pressure in the erythrocytes. Without Glutathione the membrane of the erythrocyte would oxidise and become impaired in its function. The following demand an increase in the use of GSH:
Normally Glutathione can be regenerated under energy expenditure if the particular enzyme (Glut-retase and co-enzyme NADPH) is not too damaged by frequent 'detoxifications' of electrophile connections and environmental pollutants /poisons. What are the specific functions of Glutathione?
What are the important CF-factors, leading to an increase of need for Glutathione? Synthetic pharmaceuticals, x- and uv-rays, O2 undersupply, infections especially in chronic illnesses and oxidative stress, chemical food-stuff and environmental pollutions... And for us the especially important function of Glutathione: Optimises the enzyme-systems, basis of all anti-oxidative mechanisms and important detoxifying functions... It becomes very clear what a deficiency of Glutathione can cause in our cells, especially in CF! So much so that I felt it necessary to have my Glutathione-blood-level measured. And I did have a deficiency of Glutathione! According to Dr. med. Gerhard Ohlenschläger®, Glutathione should not be taken, but rather S-AcetylGlutathione, because it is much more stable and accesses our cells, whereas Glutathione can react as early as in the stomach, with other substances. Additionally, taking S-AcetylGlutathione leads to no negative 'reverse-connections', i.e. our own production of Glutathione is in no way negatively influenced. In progressive aging, the regenerating enzymes of the oxidised Glutathione are increasingly excreted. Therefore, aging people (all ages) should have their Glutathione-levels measured and if necessary take a supplement. Side-effects: In some cases it can lead to a lack of trace-elements (check selenium and zinc levels) accompanied with a possible lack of magnesium and potassium. In diabetics it can alter the amount of insulin required, so that a regular blood-sugar-test is required. How high should the doses be? This depends on the current lab tests and indications. In diabetics the high blood-sugar-levels (Ketone-bodies) can react with Glutathione, making higher doses of S-AcetylGlutathione necessary. A lab-test should be carried out at regular intervals. Top Hemp OilHemp oil is won from the seed of hemp (Cannabis sativa). The oil does not contain anymore any of the substances that can cause a "high", it is THC-free (THC = trans-Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol).Hemp oil can be used in a daily diet. Why mention it in a chapter on natural medication? The reason is, it contains precious essential fatty-acids - Linoleic acids, , the medically effective Gamma-linoleic-acid. Gamma-linoleic-acid is used in dermatitis, PMS, rheumatoid arthritis, along with diabetes and its attendant symptoms / damaging effects, as well as other conditions. Normally, the essential linoleic-acid is transformed in the body by the enzyme Delta-6-Desaturase into Gamma-linoleic-acid. If this enzyme is missing, neither Gamma-linoleic-acid nor other important tissue hormones, such as prostglandine, can be produced. Reasons for this enzyme-deficiency could be:
By taking Hemp oil, chronic damage can be prophylactically avoided or lessened. Use in the kitchen: Hemp oil should not be used for frying or deep-fat cooking because at these high heats it undergoes a chemical breakdown. Otherwise, there are no limits to it's uses - salads, musli, sauces... Only cold-pressed oils are recommended, these haven't been subjected to high heat processes. Above a temperature of 50° C. changes occur. Top Flaxseed Oil with curdsCurds are healthy because of the amino-acids it contains, especially Cystein, that the body needs to synthesise Gluthation. Gluthation is necessary for cell-division, helps repair damaged genes, detoxifies cell-toxins and cancer-promoting substances, increases defence-cell-activity and is a strong anti-oxidant. On closer examination, we are struck by the high content of a-linoleic-acids, which belongs to the essential fatty-acids (Omega-3-fatty-acids) and have an important part to play in the general metabolism, e.g. immune-metabolic process, lipid membranes, etc. In comparison to other oils, the following table shows the overriding proportion of a-linoleic-acid in flaxseed oil.
Curds are made up of sulphur-containing amino-acids, cysteins, that in conjunction with a-linoleic-acid form an electric dipole-connection. According to Dr. Budwig, these can enter the cells and then into the mitochondria (power-plant of the cells), there to free-up the blocked breathing chain, i.e. improve O2- respiration by it's free Pi-electrons. Any present cancer cells are thought to be destroyed by these Pi-electrons... Summary: Flaxseed in curds (1 -2 dessertspoons to 250g curds) improves O2-respiration, is effective against cancer, protects us against infections and aggressive radicals. Where there is an Omega-3-fatty-acid-deficiency / lack, flaxseed oil can easily substitute. Top Blackseed Oil / Nigella sativaBy enzymatic processes, Prostaglandine E1 (PGE1) is formed in the body from g-l-acid, prohibiting the releasing of allergic and inflammatory substances. Prostaglandine E2 (PGE2) is formed from the unsaturated fatty-acid Arachidon-acid that, along with Nigelon among others, acts a bronchial-dilator. By taking these oils, and!!! by burping (really!!!) one inhales Nigelon and in this way it acts directly on the lungs! Therefore blackseed oil is particularly suitable in bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, auto-immune illnesses and many other allergic conditions. Other possible uses: Carvon (contained also in caraway seed) acts as a stimulant on the stomach. Acts against flatulence and has a soothing effect on the bowl. That's why this oil, just like pure caraway, can be used in gastro-intestinal problems, as it promotes the natural bowel-flora while suppressing the sickness-causing bacteria. Apart form that:
Top Crataegus / White thornPart of plant used: white thorn leaves and blossoms Active substances: Oligomere procyanidine, flavonides such as Quercetin, biogene Amine, Triterpen-acid Biochemistry for those interested: Crataegus acts by causing an increase of calcium-ions-membrane permeability Ca-storming cells, along with intracellular cyclo-AMP. Action:
Use:
Doses: I take 3 x 1 3/4 per day of crataegus extract, by the Fm Weleda, by a body weight of 68 kg. The right doses decides whether the Ion-channels open or not, presuming that they can open in the first place. A gradual increase, beginning with a low dose, is recommended. In over-dosage, the ion-channels close again. The enzymes must be adjusted in the case of lower requirement, due to the danger of "DIOS" = CF-typical intestinal blockage. Therefore increase only gradually. As the lungs become gradually damaged in CF, causing more strain on the heart( cor pulmonale...) it would be a pity, if not to say stupid, if one were to exclude this wonderful medical plant from use, in form of tablets. Added to this is the action of the flavonoids that play a deciding role for the better in the prognosis of CF. Further studies on this are needed urgently. Since I started taking Crataegus, my endocrine pancreas gland has begun to function aagain ( the function of insulin production), accompanied by an increased performance. Young patients have been said to have lung- and pancreas-function wholly regenerated; they are said to be living normal lives!! !!! Side-effects: Concerning the medical action of the heart there are no side-effects in therapeutic doses, but, if taking other drugs for the heart, care must be taken. When taking the antibiotic Zithromax, the mucus may become very viscid and tough. Otherwise dosage as above. Please note: When Crataegus begins to act, that is, when symptoms of CF become less, you must examine whether the doses of other medication need to be reduced, e.g. insulin, digestive enzymes, etc. Top Sanum®-TherapyChondritines / Bio-regulators Chondritines act, as mentioned, as bio-regulators that, according to illness, are given to the body. Damaging high-molecular connections are "cut - up" into low-molecules by the bio-regulators that can then be excreted. The (low-molecular) bio-regulators are made from the (high-molecular) sick-making germs. Illnesses are therefore treated with the same substance that cause the illness in the first place. Diagnosis is helped by the 'dark-field-microscopy' I use the following medications with success: Mucokehl® D5: Contains Mucor racemosus and should be used where the blood flow is increasingly slow and thick The blood corpuscles stick together as a roll of coins, the oxygen uptake is distinctly reduced. This is exactly what often proves fatal in lung-illnesses. Sanukehl® Pseu D5: Contains polysaccharide elements (Haptene) of the germ pseudomonas aeruginosa and acts absorbent on the germ-antigen. Notakehl® D5: acts specifically in all Streptococcus and Staphylococcus infections. Acts an a therapeutic-irritant in alternation with Mucokehl. Sanum®-therapies as inhalation?Occasionally I inhale Mucokehl® D5 and / or Sanukehl® Pseu D5 with various results. Anyone with experience of this treatment, please contact me...Practical experience in CF Through Sanum® - Therapy my mucus production is greatly reduced. If I forget to take the medication for two days or longer, my mucus-production increases again. Other CF-patients tell similar stories. Some even have been freed of Pseudomonas aerog. and Staphylokokkus aureus. Allergies seem to respond well to the treatment. Absolutely necessary! This medication should be used only in a balanced acid-alkaline (ph puffer base) situation, but not in over-acid tissues. Antibiotics can inhibit the action of the medis. The Darkfield Microscopy This is a special blood-test under a microscope, useful in many instances. An example being the following pictures: 
left: normal blood; middle: roll of coins, showing strong limitation of Oxygen-carrying ability. right: bacteria in blood-corpuscles. Concluding: The Sanum® - Therapy (Fm. Sanum-Kehlbeck D-27316 Hoya), is a therapy that must be taken seriously and produces usually an improvement in CF symptoms. Before beginning the therapy, the Darkfield Microscopy Test should be carried out. Therfore it is absolutely necessary to find an experienced therapist so that mistakes are excluded. Top
