Plenty of evidence exists for the use of antioxidants to reduce inflammation in the autoimmune diseases, and particularly the use of a glutathione producer as well. Glutathione increase is of great importance because it regenerates other used-up antioxidants, it's essential to the Krebs energy cycle, it quenches free radicals and removes many toxins itself, and perhaps most importantly in these cases, it skews imflammatory responses (TH2) toward non-inflammatory response (TH1) in the first place, which allows the body to heal itself.
The proper way to do it is with precursors; take the precursors (cold- processed whey) with selenium, 200-600 mcg daily is plenty for most people with issues. Also, other antioxidants are often overlooked. ALA and CoQ10 are very useful to the krebs cycle and to quench free radicals at the source inside the cells, and resurrecting each other. Similarly the water-soluble and oil-soluble antioxidants each have roles that are not swapped off very well by other antioxidants, so a complete antioxidant therapy is very useful: A, C, E, s, ALA, glutathione (whey isolate), and b-complex helps. Some would add other catalysts based on analysis but these would be the basis of all antioxidant theapies. Then we can get fancier with the carotenoids, tocotrienols, lycopene and such if we like. Once a person has 'jacked themselves out of the hole' with attention to these details, perhaps, just perhaps, diet alone will maintain them that way. I believe in the continued use of antioxidants though, because I treat age-related degeneration and this is an important part of a longevity program. I have specific examples of the mechanics of how several disorders respond to antioxidant therapy. regards, Duncan Crow > Cause, Celiac is a genitic disorder.
