Imagine a disease that depletes your muscles so thoroughly that your body collapses on itself, suffocating you. A disease that progresses so swiftly that there is no equilibrium or status quo. A disease with symptoms so diverse that caregivers cannot keep ahead of the declines, putting you at risk (of being killed, not just dying). Imagine a disease that will likely snuff out your dreams, hopes, and bank account, Including that of your surviving spouse. Imagine having no treatment and no cure.

Throu...

At long last I have found a source for intravenous glutathione as well as a source of administering.  In our region, we have a famous college for naturopathic medicine, it's not close to me and it's not cheap but I have an opportunity to try it.  Through this college I discovered a provider that also wants to try out homeopathic remedies and also chelation therapy under the assumption that heavy metal toxins may lie at the source of this autoimmune disease.
