- David:
- I have been watching this thread with interest and would like to
- raise a question which has come up on immune-disorders list as there may be
- a common thread here.
-
- In your research on Lyme's, have you found any evidence of either
- lowered glutathione levels or of inhibited glutathione activtity? Is there
- anything in the Lyme toxin which might either inhibit or block glutathione
- activity?
-
- Pat Wilcox has raised such a possibility on that list and has some
- limited lab results which give it some support from the perspective of
- environmental illness and immune system depression. From a quick serach of
- UNCOVER@ CARL the other night, it appeared that there may be some medical
- literature which supports a correlation between glutathione deficiency and
- some immune suppressed diseases...
-
- Just a thought in the interest of finding something - anything- to
- help us all...
-
- Regards,
- Dave Ackerman
