Glutathione: The Ultimate Antioxidant
By Alan H. Pressman, DC, PhD., CCN, Sheila Buff, Foreword by Richard A. Passwater
"Of all the critical nutrients, glutathione is one that's gaining attention for its unique contribution to the immune system and all other biological functions. Dr. Pressman, in this easily readable book, provides us with a definitive understanding of how glutathione works." - Gary Null, Ph.D., author of The Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Health
Glutathione (GSH) : Your Body's Most Powerful Healing Agent
By Jimmy Gutman, MD, FACEP and Stephen Schettini
Your life depends on glutathione. Without it, your cells would disintegrate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to bacteria, viruses and cancer, and your liver would shrivel up from the eventual accumulation of toxins. This book explains what you need to do to raise your glutathione levels in order to strengthen your immune system to prevent disease. Glutathione levels diminsh as we age and many diseases normally associated with aging have been linked to glutathione deficiency. Clinical evidence links low glutathione levels to the most common illnesses of our time as well as newly emerging diseases.
Because all other antioxidants depend upon the presence of glutathione to function properly, scientists call it 'the master antioxidant'. Healthy people also benefit from elevated glutathione levels through an enhanced ability to fight off toxins, infectious disease, pre-cancerous cells and the aging process itself.
The GSH Phenomenon: Nature's Most Powerful Antioxidant and Healing Agent
By Alan H. Pressman, Sheila Buff
Describes how glutathione, an amino acid, can be used as a safe, simple, and all natural healing aid to help people rectify serious and chronic illnesses, avoid colds, reduce allergies and weight gain, and increase energy levels.
Glutathione (or its reduced form, GSH) is a natural protein found in the body's cells and in many fresh fruits and vegetables. Pressman, a chiropractor and nutritionist, considers glutathione to be the most important antioxidant molecule, high levels of which appear to protect against the dangers of cancer, heart disease, premature aging, autoimmune diseases, and chronic illnesses. Glutathione plays an essential role in helping the liver detoxify environmental poisons and the body's own metabolic wastes, a process necessary to overall health. Pressman excels at explaining the workings of the liver and gastrointestinal system and outlining possible functional tests to measure how well these viscera are operating. Nutritional and supplementation programs for common conditions are given--with appropriate caveats--including foods rich in glutathione or its building blocks and foods that naturally stimulate its production in the body (e.g., cruciferous vegetables and parsley). Two dozen high-glutathione recipes, lists of holistic health organizations and suppliers, and a glossary conclude the book - Penny Spokes

Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal 2nd Edition
By Phyllis A. Balch
As Hippocrates said, "Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food." Seems people didn't listen to him, because as the U.S. Surgeon General said more than 2,000 years after him, "Two-thirds of all deaths in 1997 in this country could be attributed to diet." They'd both likely advocate the information contained in Prescription for Dietary Wellness, a massive reference aimed at preventing and treating disease through diet. The Balchs, authors of the 3-million-plus bestseller Prescription for Nutritional Healing, which focuses mainly on supplements and herbs, have created another masterpiece. This book gives a solid education in nutrition basics, with references to the latest research. It also includes flavorful, antioxidant-packed recipes, and adds advice that has been proven effective for treating various ailments using specific foods and supplements.
The book also includes:
Charts with warning signs of disease and nutrient deficiency, along with guidelines to help start the healing process
Charts that detail the nutrient needs of various organs, and which foods best supply the nutrients

More than 100 pages of quick, healthy, mostly low-fat recipes designed to pack the most nutritional punch for the calories
The Super Anti-Oxidants: Why They Will Change the Face of Healthcare in the 21st Century
By James F. Balch
By now you've probably heard that antioxidants are good for you, but a growing number of researchers are beginning to believe that adequate or even more-than-adequate amounts are absolutely vital to our health and well-being. This book by James F. Balch, M.D., author of the bestselling Prescription for Nutritional Healing, describes a wide range of antioxidant substances in food and extracted into supplements that can help prevent or conquer illness and even slow the aging process itself. As Balch points out, when our bodies turn oxygen into energy the reaction creates damaging byproducts known as free radicals, which "eat away" at us almost as rust does metal. Antioxidants help keep free radicals from forming and eliminate those already in the body, putting the brakes on at least some of this long-term damage. But while many people are aware of the antioxidant value of vitamins such as C and E, there are also powerful free-radical-scavenging substances in a wide variety of products-- including fish oils, tree barks, herbs, wine, and tea, as well as colorful fruits and vegetables. Because antioxidants may be more effective in combination, Balch makes a good case for taking concentrated antioxidant supplements as well as eating a diverse diet. A few of the substances he mentions are controversial (and he's careful to provide brief cautions), but it wouldn't be surprising if many of the antioxidants he recommends eventually become mainstream tonics
This book provides detailed information about various illnesses and how they can be prevented or cured through the use of anti-oxidants.
New Hope for Serious Diseases: The Healing Power of Glutathione
By Howard Peiper
"A free radical is an unstable molecule that steals an election from another molecule and produces harmful effects. Free radicals are formed when molecules within cells react with oxygen, as part of the normal metabolic processes. If not controlled by antioxidants, free radicals can break down cells and damage enyzmes, cell membranes, blood lipoprotein, unsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes and chromosomes".
