Abstract
The Glutathione Theory of Aging reviews the multiple biological functions of glutathione, including its status as the Master Antioxidant, and its role as a key regulator of detoxification, immune function and anti-viral activity. Sub-optimal glutathione levels are common because many diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to glutathione depletion, and the body's ability to synthesize glutathione declines as people age. Studies reveal that most age-related chronic degenerative diseases are associated with low glutathione levels. This article also introduces people to Lactobacillus fermentum ME-3, which is a unique strain of probiotic bacteria thar synthesizes glutathione. Boosting glutathione levels is an important proactive step people can take to promote good health and achieve healthy longevity.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
