Mischley said she was getting calls from neuros about nasal gt so i imagine your neuro could write an RX for you. my advice is get it from key pharmacy to make sure your're getting "good" liquid gt assuming you can afford it, i've heard it's $75/month delivered refrigerated, might be wrong. here's their website

i have no connection to key. i'm not encouraging anyone do this but just want to put in my 2 cents. i haven't tried it but might. tried IV GLUTATHIONE back in 2003 and noticed no affect but symptoms were very mild. got rx from my neuro, he's open to trying alt-meds, and got supplies from local compounding pharmacy, nurse friend gave me the IV'S.

kind of surprised there's not many pd'ers posting on the web about it if it really made a difference. that would be the first thing i'd do.
