Built
to Survive: A Comprehensive Guide to the Medical Use of Anabolic
Steroids, Nutrition and Exercise for HIV (+) men and women by
Michael Mooney, Nelson R. Vergel
The authors effectively
detail how to use nutrition, anabolic hormones and exercise in
combination to imporve lean body mass and overall health in HIV. This
book is a great guide for patients and physicians who want to learn more
about these therapies.
Author's comment on this product: N-acetyl cysteine is one
of the dietary supplements that those HIV(+) people in the know have
been taking for a dozen or more years. If there is one survival tool
every HIV(+) person should consider it is taking dietary supplements
that increase glutathione production. Suggested dosing is 500 to
1,000 mg three times per day. Other supplements that increase
glutathione include L-glutamine (12 to 36 grams per day), alpha lipoic
acid (100 to 1,000 mg per day), selenium (200 - 800 mcg per day), and
this product whey protein (don't assume that other whey proteins have as
much effect as this product). Protein malnutrition can cause a decrease
in glutathione production too, so be sure to get plenty of protein three
times per day. We provide more discussion of glutathione in our book
Built To Survive. - Michael Mooney
Oxidative
Stress, Cell Activation and Viral Infection
Edited by C.
Pasquier, et al.
NOTE: Article entitled "Place For An
Antioxidant Therapy In Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection"
(pp 311-321).
Summary exerpt of this article: Oxidative
stress, a known activator of HIV replication in vitro, has a potential
role as a cofactor of HIV disease progression. Arguments supporting the
role of oxidative stress as a cofactor in HIV activation are summarized
in this review. The role of intracellular antioxidants such as
glutathione (GSH), and drugs and nutriceutical agents promoting GSH
synthesis, are discussed. The review also includes the early results
of nutritional interventions based on a diet enriched with this product, a
whey protein concentrate prepared in a proprietary manner.

The Super Anti-Oxidants : Why They Will Change the
Face of Healthcare in the 21st Century by James F. Balch
As
he describes glutathione, he references this product on page 98.
This Book is Worth a Read (December 12, 1999 Reviewer: Ralph
Nordstrom from Southern California) This is an exciting book. Packer
reviews the research on antioxidants, not only from his own lab at the
University of California, Berkely, but also from labs around the world.
He not only quotes research results in vitro and on mice but he also
quotes such human studies as are available. Packer is enthusiastic about
the effects antioxidants can have on improving health and increasing
ones life. He freely speculates about discoveries he expects will be
found in future research but he is careful to state them as such. I'd
skip to the last part on implementing the Packer plan and put that into
action, then return to the beginning of the book and read up on all the
research.

The Gsh Phenomenon : Nature's Most Powerful
Antioxidant and Healing Agent
by Alan H. Pressman, Sheila
Buff
"Glutathione (or its reduced form, GSH) is a natural
protein found in the body's cells and in many fresh fruits and
vegetables. Pressman, a chiropractor and nutritionist, considers
glutathione to be the most important antioxidant molecule, high levels
of which appear to protect against the dangers of cancer, heart disease,
premature aging, autoimmune diseases, and chronic illnesses. Glutathione
plays an essential role in helping the liver detoxify environmental
poisons and the body's own metabolic wastes, a process necessary to
overall health. Two dozen high-glutathione recipes, lists of holistic
health organizations and suppliers, and a glossary conclude the book." -
Penny Spokes.
TERRIFIC EYE-OPENER, June 5, 2002 Reviewer: Suzanne from
Plattsburgh, NY USA
This is one of the better "preventative" books
I've read. The author's explaination of how GSH works in your body is
very easy to understand. Folks, who worry about hereditary disease, or
who are left with no "medical" solutions should read this.
GLUTATHIONE: Nature's Powerful Antioxidant
By Jimmy
Gutman, MD, FACEP, and Stephen Schettini
From The Publisher: Glutathione, produced in the
liver, is a protein that battles disease and slows aging by maintaining
the health of red and white blood cells. Dr. Gutman details how it
boosts immune function, protects cells, eliminates toxins, and
influences longevity. Although he notes that human glutathione levels
decline as people age, Gutman shows readers how to elevate levels of the
substance in the body to promote continued immune health.
Glutathione:
Metabolism and Physiological Functions
Edited by Jose Vina
From Booknews: Over 30 papers discuss the techniques and
findings of investigating the level and function of the peptide
glutathione in cells. It has been associated with such functions as
antioxidant defense, the regulation of metabolic pathways, hormonal
action, the detoxification of xenobiotics, the maintenance of cell
structure, and more recently with nutrition, aging, and immunology.
Topics include determining tissue glutathione, the compartmentalization
of cellular glutathione in mitochondrial and cytosolic pools,
glutathione transferase in human tumors and cancer cell lines,
glutathione metabolism in the mammalian ocular lense, free radical
toxicity, the enzymatic deiodination of the thyroid hormone, pineal
mechanisms and functions, and the renal handing of glutathione. Contains
a bibliometric study of relevant publications 1983-87.

Antioxidants and Cancer
Antioxidants Against Cancer by Ralph W. Moss
Must
Read. Clear, Concise, Well-researched, Convincing
(April 16,
2000 Reviewer: Owen R. Fonorow from USA)
This book should be given
to every medical student and Oncologist in this country. Lately, the
media is full of reports cautioning cancer patients about anti-oxidants.
After reading Antioxidants Against Disease, you will have the knowledge
necessary to evaluate these unsubstantiated media reports for yourself.
Ralph presents all sides, not just one side. Few people in the world
know as much as Ralph Moss about treating cancer. Ralph left the NY
Sloan- Kettering cancer center when they asked him to misrepresent
research results. Moss was a spokesman and was supposed to say that no
benefit from Laetrile had been found, yet Ralph knew otherwise. He had
spoken with the research scientist and knew that standard tests in mice
had indicated significant benefit from Laetrile. Ralph resigned and
began his quest to bring us the truth about the myriad of cancer
treatments.
