“Master antioxidant” glutathione levels tied to pneumonia infection and severity

UNLOCK the secret to DODGING lung damage [Anti-pneumonia nutrient!]

It’s one of the most terrifying infections you can catch… both in your community and inside a hospital.

I’m talking about pneumonia.

For some folks, it’s a secondary infection that could make COVID-19 deadly.

But even on its own… pneumonia could be especially dangerous for folks 65 and older.

That’s the age group where nearly 90% of pneumonia deaths occur.

And your risk goes up once you hit the age of 80.

The mainstream would like you to think that your ONLY option is to get vaccinated against this infection…

But the shots that exist don’t cover EVERY type of pneumonia that you could catch.

And NO vax is 100% effective.

That’s why it’s so important that you know what your options are if you ever should get sick with pneumonia.

I pray that you and your loved ones NEVER have to battle this infection…

But if you do, here’s the news you need to know about.

A lung infection you NEVER want to catch

We’re more focused than ever on our lung health – and we know we need to protect these vital organs from both infection and damage.

One key to that appears to be an antioxidant called glutathione.

It’s actually not just any ol’ antioxidant… but actually the “master antioxidant,” which can be found in nearly all of our bodies’ cells.

It’s especially abundant in the lining of our respiratory tracts… where it protects us against oxidative stress and damage.

But research shows that pneumonia patients… including those with respiratory failure… show LOWER levels of glutathione.

And one study out of Russia published last year suggests that glutathione deficiency could be a culprit behind severe COVID-19 cases and even death from that infection.

That makes sense to me, considering BOTH older folks and smokers are particularly in the crosshairs for serious infections.

And age and smoking have shown to DEPLETE glutathione levels!

Add to that the fact that taking acetaminophen could also send your glutathione levels into a NOSEDIVE… particularly in your airways…

And you could be leaving the door open for pneumonia to take hold.

Fortunately, preliminary research has shown that administering glutathione to patients who are having trouble breathing may relieve their symptoms… primarily by BLOCKING the inflammation that could lead to a cytokine storm.

And research dating back to 2014 reveals that glutathione therapy may be an option for clearing the pneumonia infection associated with ventilator use.

Studies have even shown how glutathione could help COMBAT lung injury!

This tells me we have 2 options:

MAINTAIN healthy glutathione levels by taking a supplement BEFORE illness sets in.
INQUIRE about adding glutathione therapy (either oral or intravenous) in treatment plans for pneumonia.

An integrative doc will be more open to IV “vitamin therapies” like glutathione and IVC… but technically, you should be able to receive it from any hospital or clinic.

If you’re supplementing, it’s recommended that you do so with the glutathione precursor NAC (N-Acetyl cysteine) – which is a form that your body can more easily absorb and use.

In a just-published study out of Greece, 1200 mg of NAC daily helped reduce the risk for needing mechanical ventilation and of death in cases of COVID-19 pneumonia.

And in a 2018 study, adding NAC to conventional care helped REDUCE markers of oxidative stress and inflammation and helped INCREASE total antioxidant capacity.

There is, however, a catch.

As HSI’s Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Allan Spreen recently shared with you, the mainstream has started CRACKING DOWN on NAC…

And the feds are trying to take it away from you!

Now might be the PERFECT time to start STOCKING UP on capsules from a quality maker you trust.

For the time being, they should still be widely available at your local health food store or online.
