I had been on oral GSH for about 4+ years and since getting the fungus ball i had cut down my dose. I always wondered if it was really helping me in any way since it is so hard to tell after you are on it for a long time. Well a bit over a month ago i stopped taking it to see if it would help or hinder with my aspergilloma ( fungus ball). At first i noticed no difference, but then started to feel an old familiar feeling. I was getting tired again. Once again, i am consistantly tired with a large lack of energy. I am also having a hard time gaining back the weight i lost when i went on the anti-inflammatory diet. GSH was a huge help in gaining and maintaining my weight, now without it, i am having a heck of a time putting it back on.
I ordered the GSH yesterday and should receive it in a day or two. I cant wait to get back on it and have my endless energy again.

I'm sure it helps to be on it. As Sak has said in the past from following the tests/trials with GSH and NAC though, it appears a good nac helps more than the GSH does for what it is intended to do. I think the energy and food nutrient retention aspect that you stated you were experiencing with GSH is something that is of course beneficial, but I don't think that was the intended outcome for people taking it. Supplements are weird. I could personally do awesome on sub lingual oregano oil, or even a mineral of some type could have a great effect on me, and others, either nothing will happen, or they could get worse. That's why it's just best to go with an educated guess and try it and see. But then the same can be said for medication and the FDA.

Very true Sean, With these supplements it is a ~try it and see~ type of deal. I did a bit of research on it before taking it and decided i had to do something before things got worse. My pft's had been dropping and i had heard about the GSH in a magazine. I got on the cf and Glutathione board and spoke with several people who were on it and had great results with it, and decided with my pft's dropping i had everything to gain by trying it. It was hard to tell after the initial good results (4 years of them) if they were from the GSH or just coincidence. Well now i know...... The GSH is obviously something my body really needs.
