Glutathione Therapy For Parkinson's
Patients
Beware Of Doctors Who Prey On Parkinson's Patients, Continued From Home Page:
...Our expectations were high when we received our first shipment from Dr. Perlmutter's medication source and initiated the first injection. We desperately wanted to see the same results experienced in Dr. Perlmutter's office, but instead were very disappointed. We called Dr. Permutter's office and were told to finish the whole month of injections prior to coming up with any "early" conclusions.
We finished the first month of treatment and were not able to reproduce the same results we saw on that first visit at Dr. Perlmutters office. In fact we saw no changes at all and informed Dr. Perlmutter of this result where he responded with and I quote "Then stop taking it". This was frustrating because the results we got at his office was remarkable and we just wanted it again.
We did some more research and discovered that "Glutathione" loses it's effectiveness after being exposed to room temperature for more than six hours. We called Dr. Perlmutters office and shared our discovery with them and they re-issued another batch of "Glutathione". When we received the new shipment we quickly checked to see if the "Glutathione" was packed correctly and found that the ice pack in the shipping box was melted and the temperature of the "Glutathione" bottle was already at room temperature, but we were not sure if it had exceeded the allowable six hours or not. We called Dr. Perlmutters office and were told to try it anyway. We finished out the whole month as originally instructed and once again there was no "Miracle Day" like we experienced that first time at Dr. Perlmutter's office in Naples, FL.
Over two months had passed since our first visit and we were very frustrated and faced with trying again or giving up. I called Dr. Perlmutter's office myself this time and left a message for Dr. Perlmutter to call me back personally.
The next day he did call me back and we discussed my concerns regarding the lack of a viable protocol ensuring the preservation of the "Glutathione". Dr. Permutter simply responded with and I quote "Shipping Is Not My Responsibility". I then went on to try and clarify the fact that if the preservation of the "Glutathione" was integral in successfully administering his recommended treatment, shouldn't there be a shipping protocol that ensures it ships correctly ?, or at least a test that the patients could make to see if it's usable ?. After some further discussion I then suggested that my father and I just make the three hour trip to his office in the future to hopefully duplicate the same great results we got there the first time around and Dr. Perlmutter then responded with and I quote "He May Not Get The Same Results As The First Time". I was very surprised by his response and began to feel like we had been misled or maybe even completely lied to. I then wanted to clarify Dr. Perlmutter's statement that he was not responsible for implementing a shipping protocol that ensured the proper delivery of his Glutathione Therapy treatment and refused to comment only saying and I quote " I will call the Wellness Pharmacy" and make them aware of this. The Wellness Pharmacy and Dr. Perlmutter are practically business partners, each having a stake in the distribution of Glutathione that Dr. Permutter prescribes for his patients. Why should any treatment for any illness be so mysterious and why wouldn't a doctor who used this treatment go out of his way to ensure that shipments of his so called "Magic Drug" have a protocol in place that responsibly ensured the proper facilitation of it. There are too many holes with how Dr. Perlmutter prescribes "Glutathione Therapy" and no accountability or consequences for the lack of a viable protocol to distribute it.
If you search Dr. Perlmutters name on the Internet you will find that 90% of the articles or websites that show up have been created by himself or someone profiting from his Glutathione Therapy on Parkinson's patients.
I read Dr. Perlmutter's book "The Better Brain Book" where he claims that there are over 1,000 other doctors using "Liquid Glutathione Therapy" for Parkinson's. His book also provides a phone number that can be called to verify his claim but when I called the phone number it was disconnected. Please think carefully before using this therapy.
The cost's involved with first meeting Dr. Perlmutter came to almost $1,100.00 which included a 15 minute interview and a shot of what we thought was "Glutathione". The costs run about $ 700.00 per month thereafter, if you include everything from the liquid to having the shots administered.
