My mom, who has Parkinson’s, gets vitamins c and b via iv along with a glutathione “push” once per week. On the same day, she also gets HBOT. I’m wondering if they are “canceling” each other out since one type of treatment is an antioxidant and the other causes oxidation. What are your thoughts on this? Should she be staggering these treatments? I also wonder if she should be getting HBOT every day for a month or so and then taking a break before starting up again? I’ve come across those types of recommendations also. It’s so difficult to figure out. 😢
Initial thoughts… hyperbaric oxygen does increase oxygen in the body, increases blood flow in the brain, etc. Oxygenation is NOT the same as oxidation. In other words, HBOT should not result in oxidative stress. Glutathione, or any other antioxidant, should not result in cancelling out the effects of HBOT. The key question is, how is she feeling after the combination of HBOT and glutathione? Is she wiped out and fatigued? More energetic?
Initially, she was feeling a bit more energetic and she said she had a bit less brain fog. Now it seems to be wearing off, maybe? She can’t really describe it very well. But she continues to get treatments to slow down any progression of the disease, which I believe seems to be helping. Her neurologist always seems surprised that her condition isn’t worse. However, when we’ve asked the neurologist about HBOT, glutathione, etc., she’s very dismissive of it…so we stopped mentioning it.
@unknownorigin9517 well, that’s a typical physician for you. If it’s not medication they tend to brush it off. Keep doing what you feel is making a difference. There’s something to it if she’s feeling better and seems like progression has slowed.
Well that’s a typical physician for you. They tend to dismiss anything that’s not medication. If it’s helping her to feel better and it seems to be slowing the progression then keep it up. It’s worth it if there’s any benefit.
Hey Doc. Im now experiencing peripheral neuropathy in my hands, which has been linked to PD. I DO HAVE PD, I do not have diabetes. I state the later for clarification regarding neuropathy. What do you know about PD and neuropathy?
Hey there CBU! Well… Can Parkinson’s Disease Cause Peripheral Neuropathy? ruclips.net/video/4B-OevhAPMg/видео.html In addition to what was talked about on this video I linked here, it is also likely that alpha-synuclein aggregates in the peripheral nerves are a big part of the issue.
I have been taking NAC and L-Glutathione for about 3 months now and have noticed my ability to sleep has improved. Took about 6 weeks to notice anything at all.
@@parkinsonsdiseaseeducation NAC is not a typo. NAC can cross the BBB better than GSH can. NAC is a supplement form of cysteine, an amino acid that helps make glutathione in the brain.
Good grief. Nobody said it was new. Why do you always feel the need to negate all of the information about supplements that we are sharing on the channel? Some people benefit from this even if you may not
@@parkinsonsdiseaseeducationHey Michael 👋👋 Ignore these type of comments it's obvious they are just bullying and trying to demean your channel. Someone special to me told me once years ago when you have an issue with someone to just smile and move on. 😊
Mistergreen Michael comes highly recommended from another Physical therapist in Ohio He puts serious effort into his work and many here on this channel with Parkinson's have benefited from Michael. It's ok to disagree but what is the point in trying to cause trouble for people?

@@parkinsonsdiseaseeducation thanks Doc. Found your video just after leaving my comment.
THANK YOU!!!!!!

I assume that was a typo. NAC? Glad to hear that it’s made a difference!

@LifewithParkinsons oh I see now! That’s great to know thank you
