Chances are you’ve never even heard of the most critical molecule in your body: glutathione.  Identified back in 1888, it wasn’t until the mid 20 th century that scientists began to realize the full significance of this simple protein, made by most of our cells out of the amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. However, more than 100,000 studies have now shown that glutathione is the most important molecule you need to optimize your health and prevent disease. The more glutathione you have in your body, the healthier you are and the longer you’re going to live. Virtually every chronic disease is characterized by glutathione depletion.  Young, energetic, healthy people have tons of it, while the hospitalized elderly have the least. Among glutathione’s critical roles in the body are:  1) Master Antioxidant in our body’s antioxidant system; 2) Chief detoxifier; 3) Regulator of cell synthesis, growth, maintenance and function; 4) Responsible…

When toxins coming in exceed our ability to detoxify and eliminate them, they get stored in our fat cells and in our liver. Toxins can remain for years—often a lifetime. These stored toxins constitute a “toxic load,” stealing our energy, compromising liver and immune functions, damaging DNA, and exerting other harmful effects. Lightening your toxic load will make you feel a lot younger, more energetic and just BETTER. In addition, toxicity is one of the two causes of disease (the other being nutritional deficiency). So the more you detoxify, not only the better you’ll feel today, the more disease you’ll prevent in your future! Of course, it’s best to avoid toxins as much as you can in the first place . Raymond Francis, Beyond Health’s founder, wrote at length in his books about how to avoid toxins in food, water, supplements, medications, h…
