You need a lot, about 3 grams a day if you're sick. So, let's compare pumpkin seeds to whey, shall we? ;) Pumpkin seeds contain about 90 mg of cysteine per 34.5 gram serving according to this natural food analysis: (link edited) This cheap undenatured whey product contains 540 mg cysteine in a 31-gram serving: (link edited) So does this one: http://www.100percentpure.net/media/9c824d1055dd4188ffff801e7f000101.pdf UNdenatured whey is more than six times better as a cysteine donor than pumpkin seeds. Whey drinkers do better on 2-3 servings so that's around 1080 mg per 2 servings and we usually use larger servings. Whatever the pumpkin seed powder was doing for adequate glutathione production it could only do if you ate 3/4 pounds of it. Do you really eat that much pumpkin seed powder every day? Nuf said :) all good, Duncan Like I said, bonded cysteine is the rate-limiting factor for glutathione production; googling the phrase will bring up the research.

It has all the amino acids and other things your body needs to start producing glutathione. If you are very ill, you might want to start with half a dose first as the first few days it kicked my tush, and yet I felt lighter, clearer and my hormones have started to regulate in a very short time. I just started the IV glutathione push treatment, and so far so good. But the Pumpkin Seed Powder really got it started. First time in a long time that my blood CBC came back all normal.

That's how it reduces fibromyalgia pain in some people. Gooogle likes my glutathione references; entering glutathione references brings it up at #1 spot. I've recently had stellar results in pain treatment with a simple portable zero-point device; my wife had osteoarthritis in the hip that bothered her for years, but it went away in a 5 minute non-invasive therapy that worked in minutes and continues to do so, every time, and now each treatment leaves her pain free for about 2 weeks :) ...similarly a lady wo is on morphine for her pain cut the dose by 1/2 right away. all good, Duncan Crow Glutahtione gets rid of some pain by neutralizing irritating toxins and improving energy production in cells.

If the calcium is in any way related to CFS, then it will probably help. First she should find out why it is not absorbing. There are three types of calcium. Milk calcium would probably be best. Avoid coral calcium. Not only is it the poorest kind, according to studies, it will often contain higher levels of toxic metals and other harmful ingredients. The following should be run by her doctor or pharmacist first. The best time to take the calcium is in the evening a few hours prior to sleep. However, since the NAC will boost energy, the best time to take it is in the morning and at noon. It has about a 12 hour half life. As to the calcium question…

If you have an ulcer, it should not be taken unless you run it by your doctor. There are several medications that it should not be taken with also. Ask a pharmacist. In my patient teaching, I always encourage eating two Brazil nuts a day to get the cofactor selenium that will help it work even better.

The whey provides cysteine in bonded form, and the selenium is the catalyst. Cysteine in bonded form is the rate-limiting factor in glutathione production, so even if you use a patch or some other thing to increase glutathione promotion you'll still require these actual molecules, which are depleted by illness, infection, and toxin load. I agree with Cheney; use the whey and selenium.

They have manufactured a patch (the size of a 20cent piece) which is applied to certain acupuncture points within the body to send a message to the liver to produce more Glutathione. Nothing enters the body. No drugs, no side effects, no needles. I am a distributor for a company which has discovered a way to naturally increase the levels of Glutathione in the body by 300%.

I.V glutahione works well, also you can take NAC which is a precursor to glutathione.
