We talked about Glutathione with a Doctor

We Interviewed Dr. Aleli Valdez of Wellness Doctor. We talked about glutathione and its effects in skin whitening.

Interviewer: what is glutathione? And what does glutathione do to us?

Dr. Valdez: Glutathione is a hormone that is produced by the body in small amounts. The effects of glutathione are: first; it used to detoxify our body from the food that we eat, from the environment. It is used for cancer patients. For aesthetic purposes, it is used for skin whitening.

Interviewer: skin whitening? Is this some sort of side effect?

Dr. Valdez: yes.

Interviewer: What is the process in administering glutathione? What is Wellness Doctor's process in administering this?

Dr. Valdez: What we do here is to inject the glutathione intravenously or we inject it. We mix a certain amount of glutathione with collagen and vitamin B complex which helps in fighting stress and vitamin C which is an antioxidant for the body. Glutathione will be injected slowly through IV (intravenous).

Interviewer: So what is the recommended dosage for glutathione?

Dr. Valdez: Usually, here in the clinic, we give three sessions of IV and then we maintain it every month. Or else, if people do not want the maintenance we can also recommend our glutathione capsules.

Interviewee: Do you think many people accept glutathione as a skin whitening method? Do people here in Ilocos Sur think it is effective?

Dr. Valdez: Many people accept it but not all seem to understand and accept it. Usually, we are pursuing its detoxifying qualities. Our bodies get detoxified with this treatment. It detoxifies our body from fatty and salty foods and from the environment. It also lessens the effects of stress. These are the effects we want to get. In addition to that, there is a wonderful side effect of skin whitening.

Interviewee: If you are beside a person who do not accept the idea of using glutathione for health? What do you want to say to this person?

Dr. Valdez: Glutathione is a normal hormone produced by our bodies. Although, only in small amounts. Doing this in proper doses to be administered by a medical personnel, a nurse or a midwife or a doctor, we can get effective results.

Interviewee: Who are the people who can use glutathione?

Dr. Valdez: Any adult can have this. Along with its maintenance through IV or capsules. We can get effective results.
