We know that in children and adults that experience seizure disorders that there’s a fragile relationship between glutamine/glutamate and GABA. Glutamate is excitatory and needs to be managed especially by the vital antioxidant, glutathione.
Dr. Kurt Woeller, a biomedical specialist, remarks
A deficiency of glutathione is correlated to excessive levels glutamates in the brain. Excessive levels of glutamates overexcite neurons, leading to damage and neuronal death.
Overexcited neurons or lack of neuron connectivity is often referenced with regards to seizures and seizure disorders. I have found depleted glutathione a depleted marker in several of the clients that have experienced seizures and ADD. Glutathione is essential in supporting detoxification. When supporting the glutathione levels client have reported improved focus, a reduction or cessation of seizures, and improvement in energy.
As a reminder in the functional world, glutathione is one of many measurements assessed.
It’s essential to test, rather than guess, how an individual’s detoxification pathways are functioning. Glutathione levels can best be detected in a comprehensive organic acids test.
Be well,
