Summary
Bedridden with severe fatigue and joint and muscle pain, they began weekly IV glutathione with vitamins in early 2025 and noticed improvement after the second round. By May 2026 they were no longer stuck in bed, with more energy and much less pain, having spaced the infusions to monthly. They credited IV hydration and vitamin therapy with saving them, though they said they were not cured.
