great post dramamama. question for you...how do I find out my antioxidant levels? Is this something I can see a naturopathic doctor, medical doctor or who? Also, any suggestions of how to approach the subject would be great.

Anybody got any articles that I could print out and take to my next clinic appointment to ask them about the GSH?

Hi Lauren.
It all depends on the doctor you have. Any doctor can order the test on you....all it takes is a doctor who is willing to look outsde the box.
The best antioxidant level testing is done by a lab called <b>Genova Diagnostics </b>...they used to be called Great Smokies lab, but have changed their name. I jsut called them to see if a patient can order the test kit and came back with a big fat NO...so go to their website
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.gdx.net/home/assessments/finddisease/cystic_fibrosis/
">http://www.gdx.net/home/assess...ease/cystic_fibrosis/
</a>
Read all the tests they offer for cystic fibrosis and look at the one for antioxidant status...glutathione reduced.

I have an alternative doc who tests all this stuff, but I know that any doc you have a good relationship with would be willing to do it....for example, your obgyn. You might have to help him/her along by telling them which is the BEST lab..GENOVA-by far- and you might have to hep them find the info on their sight for ordering...

I know it sounds like a lot of work, but you need to have all of these things tested. Knowledge is power and by knowing you will only feel that much better about taking an antioxidant in which you are deficient.

I believe it is so important to arm yourself with studies on antioxidant levels in cf adults. Pub-med should be your best friend. lists just about every journal article out there on the subject.

</a>
Just enter glutathione, cystic fibrosis, antioxidant levels in the search bar.

Print out many for your doc to read!!!!!

I will find some I think might help.

Also, look at the link Chaggie printed...those are the journal articles that really got this whole bro-ha-ha going.

KrazyKat ~ I emailed Dr. Bishop about the cepacia issue with GSH and he said it is only theory. But he advised to do so with caution since they just dont know yet. I told him i was just using it orally and he said that shbouldnt be a problem. That was almost 5 years ago. Most of what i read about GSH was from people who were inhaling it and taking it orally. I wondered if it would benefit me if i tried it orally only and spoke to a few people who were using it orally only and decided to give it a try. It made a huge difference for me. Im not sure but ,maybe if i didnt have hemoptysis problems, i might be more apt to try inhaling it. But since i do have hemoptysis problems i will stick to taking it orally. I talked to my Doctor years ago about the theory of GSH causing the inflammation to go down and that being a problem and she had said to me in cf they want the inflammation to go down and that includes cepacia patients. She said if that were an issue they would never give cepacia patients steriods to reduce inflammation. Either way she recommended i never inhale it mainly because of my hemoptysis problems. There are however some petients with cepacia that do inhale it and are doing well. You may want to post on the Glutathine and cystic fibrosis message board and ask about it.
