Diane, I think it's great that you are posting this even though it was a very small study. The idea was to show that Glutathione is worth investigating. And glutathione has shown promise for a long time. And your experience is the same as mine is with NAC, a precursor to glutathione.
If anyone is interested you can look at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation site, and you will see that inhaled glutathione, and oral NAC studies are both well along in the testing phases. And you will probably hear a major announcement concerning the value of both. More importantly, they will have tested various dosages.
I have had excellent results using NAC which is the precursor to glutathione. It was always thought that oral glutathione wasn't that accessible to the body. So that instead that it might be better to take NAC instead. NAC helps the body make glutathione so that it can be used it readily. But if people have great results with oral glutathione, there has to be value in this.
When I had a setback a few years ago, my normal preventative routine wasn't enough and I couldn't get out of a bad exercabation cycle. (my house filled with smoke from a large neighbothood fire.) I added hypertonic saline, tumeric capsules, and NAC. Tumeric (Curcumin) is also being studied by the CFF. And expect an announcement about this also.
Anyway, the infections just stopped dead. And what is really amazing is the last few cultures are not even picking up the usual pseudomonas or staph.
None of these things are miracle cures. And I do do a lot of other things to maintain my health. Once in a while I get occasional exacerbation that usually does not require antibiotics -- mostly inflammation due to certain triggers.
I cannot say for certain how much NAC is responsible for my improvement. But it seems consistant with results others have reported using NAC or Glutathione. So I would say for those people whose doctors are closed to the idea, if you wait a bit longer, it will probably be an accepted treatment very soon.
