Lots of studies to show COPD responds to glutathione increase which can be give locally to lung tissues as a spray. Because it's essentially just one of the lipid peroxidation diseases it will also respond to a glutathione precursor, Immunocal/HMS-90. This will also deter any infections. http://members.shaw.ca/widewest/HMS-90.html my father's company site has prewritten Medline links and a lot more information. ____________________________________________________ The use of nebulized glutathione in the treatment of emphysema: a case report. Lamson DW, Brignall MS. Bastyr University, Kent, WA, USA. We present the case of a 95-year-old man with an acute respiratory crisis secondary to emphysema and apparent bronchial infection. Treatment with nebulized glutathione led to a rapid resolution of the crisis, as well as a marked improvement in the chronic course of the disease. This treatment has been used since for a number of patients with emphysema. The safety and bioavailability of this method of delivery have been established in human studies. Preliminary results suggest efficacy for nebulized administration of glutathione in this patient population. We suggest this treatment can be considered an option for acute respiratory crises due to COPD.
