Boosting the liver glutathione levels has long been the way to rescue the liver from permanent damage in Tylenol overdose. How would increasing the liver glutathione levels affect health and wellness? The liver is the primary detoxifying organ in the body.

Itis of Hepatitis The suffix itis means inflammation. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. It comes in two types. Toxic HepatitisThis non-infectious type of liver disease includes alcoholic and chemical induced inflammation. Contact exposure to the skin with industrial strength cleaners could cause damage. Other chemical toxins include medications and some natural treatments and drug abuse. Cirrhosis or scaring of the liver results from prolonged inflammation. Infectious HepatitisInfectious hepatitis is one of the most prevalent of serious diseases in North America. Most people have heard of Hepatitis. Many know of the three primary types, Hepatitis A, B, and C with the last being most prevalent. Note...It is believed a great number of Hepatitis C was spread by blood transfusions given prior to 1992 before adequate screens were in place. Further complicating, the onset of symptoms could take years.

Hepatitis Alphabet Soup Many Hepatologists have said there are probably not going to be enough letters in the alphabet for all the types of hepatitis yet to be defined. Types A, B and C are well known. Starting with D the danger seems to be in getting two different types at the same time. When this happens, the result will be increased risk of cancer. Boosting Liver Glutathione It is believed that interferon less that ideal performance in treating Hepatitis C is due to depleted liver glutathione levels. Studies using both NAC and undenatured whey protein, a natural form of NAC both have had positive benefits. Liver abnormalities improvements and immunological improvements were noted. In one case, these even continued to improve even after testing was complete.
