Today we’re going to talk about the master antioxidant, which is glutathione. But first, what is an antioxidant? To understand what an antioxidant is, you really need to know what a free radical is.

Let’s look at an atom with paired electrons. If one of those electrons is missing, this is an unpaired electron, making it unstable. This is called a free radical. Free radicals can create a lot of destruction throughout the cells, the cell machinery, the DNA, and more.

An antioxidant then comes along and donates the missing electron to balance out the atom and stabilize it. The problem is, that the antioxidant now loses its electron, and it becomes unstable. It then needs to get an electron from another antioxidant. This is why you have antioxidants in networks.

It may not be a good idea to take synthetic antioxidants because they have been known to cause cancer. This is because they don’t come in networks. Once they donate their electron, they become the problem.

Glutathione is the most abundant antioxidant in the liver, but all of the cells make it. It reduces oxidative stress. Glutathione can help neutralize toxins that your body actually makes for various things. Glutathione also helps maintain exogenous antioxidants like vitamin C, and vitamin E. It not only acts as an antioxidant, but it also helps in detoxification. Because glutathione is sulfur, when you eat certain foods high in sulfur, you will give your body the raw material it needs to make more glutathione.

How to boost glutathione naturally:
• Sulfur-based vegetables (cruciferous vegetables)
• Vitamin C
• Selenium
• Milk thistle
• Fasting

What decreases glutathione?
• Alcohol
• Stress
• Age
• Drugs
• Toxins

Dr. Berg is the best doctor in the world. He saved my life. I was obese, depressed and nervous, and I was still young in the twenties. I would have committed suicide had I not found a clip on keto and applied what I learned so my weight decreased and my health improved! I do not believe!! He was the reason to regain my life how much I love and respect him🌷🌷🌷🌷

I follow Dr Berg's advice to do keto: I didn't even do full keto. I reduce carb, eat more fiber, moderate protein and fat. I eat some desserts now and then, drink a bit soda here and there but I still lose 20+ lbs and I never feel more energetic in my life. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg!

Last week I googled "Why I am not losing weight" and came across Dr Berg's Videos. In just a short week, I am already feeling like a different person. I had no idea I was a Thyroid Body Type. And although I am Vegan, I am finding a way to tweak things to make it work for me. I cannot thank Dr Berg enough for all these videos. You are making a huge difference to the world. Thank You! 🙏 🙏 🙏

It is August 24, 2021, and this is perhaps one of the BEST videos you have EVER done. And I have seen thousands. This one is timeless.

Each and everytime a dr. Berg video comes in my feed, i start listening, sometimes just to hear his relaxing, comforting voice...when the most i need is to focus on my inner peace and serenity. Content full of no nonsense medical and nutritional standpoint healing advice is one if not the best on the internet also, but that comes second to the first aspect of healing...which is the oasis of peace dr.Berg represent.
Thanks, dr.Berg

[markus]

That was the best explanation of the operation of free radicals that I have ever heard. Thank you.

What would I do without you, Dr. Berg? Your channel gives the best health information that includes solutions and remedies. Only this year did I gain clarity of glutathione's formidable strength as an antioxidant. It is quite pricey, in any form, in our country, w/c became very popular mainly for skin lightening and is taken internally and applied externally commonly for that specific benefit.

[obrayivoice]

Get glutathione from plant 🌱 base... cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, asparagus, garlic 🧄 milk thistle, dandelions with the help of vitamin c, selenium and anything that helps cell generation especially on the liver

[vincentorlando]

I like the new format Dr. Berg. shorter videos are better, right to the point

Always a pleasure. Sometimes I worry that the pharmaceuticals might target this man.

Glutathione SAVED my life!! I work with children and was constantly catching their colds. 4 years ago I started taking my Glutathione and to this day I have not caught a single cold, flu or any sickness.
