What do centenarians have in common part 1

Glutathione

Centenarians (people, who lived more than 100 years) are fastest growing group of people in United States. Intensive medical research of centenarians is under way to find the secret of longevity. One of the interesting findings upon studying 41 centenarians 100 to 105 years of age, when compared with people of 60 to 79 years old was a presence of high levels of glutathione, the molecule that is present in each cell in our body.
     What was even more interesting is the fact that more vigorous centenarians tended to have the highest glutathione activity.
     There are more than 100000 studies published in regards to glutathione and most of them found that longevity is associated with high blood concentrations of Glutathione.
     So what is Glutathione, this miracle substance that is associated with increased survival?
     Glutathione (GSH) is a molecule containing 3 amino acids namely glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine and is a body master anti-oxidant. It exists in each of our cells in cytoplasm, nuclei and mitochondria. It was discovered in 1888 but only by 1980 scientists realized that glutathione plays pivotal role in all aspects of health.
     GSH is body’s master antioxidant, without it each cell would be killed by attacks of free radicals. Simply speaking free radicals cause our bodies to rust and glutathione prevents us from rusting. Aside from that the highest level of glutathione is found in the liver and without it we would succumb to ever increasing accumulation of toxins because it is in the liver that toxic substances are detoxified and prepared to be evacuated by kidneys.
    Researchers found out that glutathione is an Antioxidant’s antioxidant.
For example such well known antioxidants as Vitamins C and E after scavenging free radicals become oxidized themselves and start attacking body cells. Glutathione deoxidizes ( reduces ) them to their initial state, so they can continue their work preventing such degenerative diseases as Arthritis, Cancer, Heart diseases, Diabetes and Macular Degeneration.
    Glutathione plays active role in detoxifying our body from pollutants and carcinogens, stabilizing cell membranes, regulating healthy protein and DNA biosynthesis.
    Dr. Gustavo Bounous, a leading Canadian glutathione expert says that the limiting factor in the proper activity of our white blood cells is the availability of glutathione.
That means that our immune system cannot protect us from viruses, bacteria and toxins without adequate presence of glutathione.
    Scientists estimated that 95 percent of cancers are caused by never ending attack on our DNA from environmental pollution and diet. Glutathione serves as an antidote reacting with these harmful molecules thus making them harmless.
    Glutathione is found to be beneficial in such conditions as autism, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune diseases, asthma, diabetes, and lung disease, gastrointestinal inflammatory disease such as Crohn’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig ’s disease, Parkinsonism and cataracts.
    Unfortunately Glutathione is very poorly absorbed when taken by mouth.
The best way to raise your levels of Glutathione is by Intravenous infusion.

In our office we provide IV glutathione therapy at an affordable price.
So if you are ready to boost your glutathione levels and increase your chances of longevity– give us a call.
