In my last post I promised that I would knuckle down and really give the Glutathione patches a fair go. So I began my renewed efforts yesterday. I got out of bed early enough to feel it worthwhile using a patch and I drank a couple of glasses of water. I decided to try a new position for the patch, so I put it on the sternum, in the center of the chest. I usually always wear it on acupuncture point CV6 which is about 2 inches below the navel.
It was an unusually busy day for me. I did lots. I visited a friend for a couple of hours with my mother, and then we drove to a new shopping centre, where I had been told there was a great butcher that does free range and gluten free sausages. We spent a good couple of hours doing the grocery shopping. When we got home in the late afternoon, I didn’t stop for a rest. Instead I jumped straight onto the computer again for at least a couple of hours, probably more. I still felt great. Then I helped with dinner, and after dinner, sprawled out on the couch in front of the TV around 9.30pm I still felt OK, rather than that sleepy slump you get after the evening meal. I still felt reasonably perky.
The biggest difference I could notice was that my energy levels were definitely higher, although I wasn’t hyperactive at all. My stamina was better, I didn’t tire as quickly, and that is a big deal. And finally, my energy levels were much more even throughout the day, rather than fluctuating up and down constantly.
So there you are, my first day back on the patches was pretty damn good.
Health & Happiness,

Hi Svea,
My son has cfs pretty badly and is interested in trying the patches. Thank you for sharing your information-we live in Adelaide and are wondering about who your doctor is as we haven’t had much luck finding a doctor that knows much about cfs
Much appreciated

Maureen, glad to hear from you. I’d love to help any way I can. It’s nearly impossible getting well if you have a chronic illness as no-one seems to know anything worthwhile. At least the doctors don’t. The doctor that knows a lot about the patches is retired, but my GP is amazing. I’m not sure if she is taking on new patients. She’s very booked out. But she recently relocated so things might be different now, I haven’t asked her. I should though. Maybe if you could tell me a bit about your son’s situation I can give you some more info and other local contacts. How old is he? What are his symptoms and how long has he been unwell? What have you tried and what has been the advice given to you so far from health professionals?
If you email me at svea79@yahoo.com.au I can give you my doctors details so you can give her a call.
The patches are a great way to give yourself a boost, and there are different patches for different things, so you’ll need to talk to me more about what your son’s particular situation is like.
Look forward to hearing from you Maureen,
Svea

Hi Svea,
Thanks for your post on the glutathione patches. I’ve heard mixed reviews about them, so i wasn’t sure. Your conclusion that they work was based on just your one day’s observation, and i was wondering if your opinions are still the same. As CFS Sufferers, we all know how one day you could be feeling great and making big plans for your future, and the next you’re right down again, so i wanted to find out if you’d been able to replicate this day of feeling great while wearing the lifewave patches. Thanx Svea

Hi Juliuan,
In fact I have not. I found that I just couldn’t consistently drink enough water to really know I was doing the patches justice. So I stopped using them. But I also did get better,a nd it’s quite a while ago now so I’m not sure what actually helped the most. Regardless of what helped, it hasn’t helped again.
I recovered enough to go overseas, but relapsed while over there. When I got back home I went back on all the treatments I was on before leaving, but a year on and I’m still not really any better than when I first got back home. So I’m having to try different things again.
How are you now? Have you improved? If so, what has helped you?

Hi Rami,
Tell me how they have helped you. Personally I’ve given up on them.
