In kicking off this new show, I have applied the essential oil Clary Sage on my throat area. It is one of my “go-to” medicinal essential oils that helps balance our hormonal system. This medicinal oil is part of my protocol for menopause symptoms, especially hot flashes and hormonal imbalances. Clary Sage also offers antifungal, anticonvulsive, antidepressant, and anti-inflammatory properties. As I have taught in many of my shows, medicinal essential oils are adaptogenic. When we apply them, they help us come back to balance. They are not treating symptoms or disease but bringing us back to a state of homeodynamic balance.
In talking about today’s show, I want to share with you the amazing qualities of glutathione—the master detoxification molecule. Did you know eating putting turmeric root in your smoothies allows Glutathione to stay in the blood stream for a longer duration. And for eye health, gluthathione is crucial. Do you know that the lens of our eye contains high amounts of glutathione and when we start developing cataracts, we have a reduced amount of glutathione in the lens of the eye?
What is Glutathione?
Glutathione is a very simple molecule that is produced naturally all the time in your body. It is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein or amino acids — cysteine, glycine and glutamine.
The secret of its power is the sulfur (SH) chemical groups it contains. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body stick onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals.
Normally glutathione is recycled in the body — except when the toxic load becomes too great.
Toxic load—this is a very important concept because as our immune systems become compromised, our dietary absorption is limited…. Then our glutathione levels are depleted. In this show learn:
The Importance of Glutathione in Protecting Against Chronic Illness
What Foods and Supplements contain Glutathione
How to use this mother of all antioxidants to prevent or reverse eye disease.
I also call Glutathione a master phytochemical, a major detoxifier on a cellular level. It is so important for the eyes. It’s the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent disease — yet you’ve probably never heard of it. It’s the secret to prevent aging……, What is it? I’m talking about the mother of all antioxidants, the master detoxifier and maestro of the immune system. The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation all deplete your glutathione.
Glutathione is also the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system. All the toxins stick onto glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool — and out of your body.
And lastly, it also helps us reach peak mental and physical function. Research has shown that raised glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.
If you are sick or old or are just not in peak shape, you likely have glutathione deficiency.
Glutathione Spray: Glutathione is an antioxidant compound that is essential to making enzymes required by healthy tissue and is essential for controlling damage from free radicals. It is important for lens and retina health. Contact me to order.
Glutathione (GSH) is considered a “super-antioxidant” for overall body, brain, eye and lens health. As the most important intracellular antioxidant, GSH regulates all other antioxidants while preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides.
My approach is not to replace Western Medicine but blend eastern-western styles that offer a blend for balancing the body instead of treating a disease.
