M y awareness of the importance of glutathione in health began with the brilliant commentary on oceanic disease (IMCJ 7.1) by associate editor Sid Baker, MD. Since then, as I have studied detoxification, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging, the critical role of adequate glutathione to health has become ever more apparent. I have now mentioned glutathione in several previous editorials: protection from oxidative stress (IMCJ 8.3), protection from mercury and other toxic metals (IMCJ 8.2, 9.3, 10.4), protection from alcohol (IMCJ 11.6), and protection from persistent organic pollutants (POPs) (IMCJ 12.2). This resulted in my creating a 60-slide lecture on glutathione, which I gave for the first time at the October 2013 Restorative Medicine Conference in San Diego, California. As several attendees told me it was one of the most important lectures they had ever heard, I decided to make glutathione the topic of this editorial.

Improvement of hemorheological methodology in recent years has led to increased knowledge about rheological properties of blood. By contrast, however, the concepts underlying interpretation of rheological behavior in the cardiovascular system are less well developed. Recent rheological measurements during blood flow in small tubes show that predictions of microcirculatory hemodynamics on the basis of viscometric measurements remain uncertain. The rheological consequence of cell sedimentation as well as flow fractionation effects at microvessel bifurcations need to be taken into account.
