questions about MaxGXL?

[brendapals]

Hello dear friends,

Had a fellow come out to our house today to "sell us" on something called MaxGXL. What's weird is, he was my rep who delivered my cpap machine almost 5 yrs ago!

Now, I hope you all will be proud of me.

He sat down and explained how traditional drs couldn't HEAL ALS, traditional meds couldn't HEAL ALS, but this stuff with glutathione in it is the end all, win all, cure all, magic potion for ALS! How surpised he looked when I spoke in my best slurred Southern accent and said "well, if it worked, why haven't we heard of it before now, and why aren't you providing it free to me, and where is the clincial studies, or data to support it"

Let me tell you, this stuff, according to him of course, will make over 40 disorders just go away.

I finally told him he didn't need to waste his time or mine, and I would be sure to ask my forum family about it.

Now, if you all tell me that this stuff IS the cat's meow-and somehow I missed the news flash, I will call him and apologize.

Otherwise, I will continue to spread awareness and hope,
Happy first day of Spring to all,
thanks for listening!

Sounds like another smart move, from a smart lady. I always want to shout to these people, if it is so great why not shout it from the rough tops, go to the ALS specialist and such with the cure, make it free to all, not money back after use, but free, heck we would all sell the farm if these crazy assumuptions were true.
Happy Spring to you my dear, and bless your heart for standing up for Cals and Pals everywhere, guess we will just hold out for the "real"cure. Thanks for your kind and thoughtful post. Wish these wizards woudl flash the wand on a real cure, and not these magic pills, that would put doc's and hospital's out of business...

I have looked extensively at MaxGL and can tell you it will not work. I have had great success with Glutathione (you can do a search on this forum) but can tell you after over 2 years using it that the only way to get enough in your system to be of any benefit is by IV. There is no way a pill will work, even if it did you would have to take in excess of 18 per day and the cost would be prohibitive. Steer away from this.

I'm an ALS caregiver, my father suffers. I'm using this MaxGXL myself, in hopes that I can experience something that may prove to be good for my dad. Good energy so far.

I didn't "buy the salesman". I simply did some research on glutathione, which is an antioxidant that we all produce. Our capacity drops with age , of course, like so many things. GXL is not glutathione. It's a clinically proven GSH precursor. The lady who sold it to me has a wholesale policy but without locking people into an autoship program, which I found from other sites is actually the standard practise.

No Brenda, you didn't miss anything. Anything that claims to cure anything from athletes foot to urinary incontinence just doesn't work. We're all familiar with the placebo effect. Stay smart not broke.

[brendapals]

Al- I love that saying, stay smart, not broke!

Yeah, I pretty much laughed when I read his sheet on the medical conditions-it was like everything I had read about on here, and suddenly, poof! there it was!

Thanks for your support!

i subscribe to the idea that if anything sounds too good, it probably is... that said, it's kind of a paradox... i'd encourage anything to mum if i were even a smidge convinced it could have a positive effect.

That's why it is good to belong here. Most of these "treatments, supplements" have been tried by others and found to not work. So it's free to join here and you have the potential to save thousands of dollars! What a bargain, right?

Brenda,
I am no expert, but I've been looking into MaxGXL for about 3 months. I believe it's a legitimate supplement, but haven't heard any claims about ALS.
Your idea to ask for a free sample was a very good one. Supposedly about 80% of people will see real results taking Max and most of them will see significant improvement within a week. If he believes in it, he should have offered you a free week's supply.
I took it for 7 weeks and felt more energy, slept better, recovered faster from strenuous activity etc., but it wasn't anyhing that couldn't be attributed to placebo effect. I've now quit for 3 weeks and don't feel much worse. However, I gave a week's supply to a friend for his wife who has fibromyalgia. I called him yesterday to see if she'd tried it. He said he'd been meaning to call me--that her results were fantastic. They moved last weekend and she had way more energy than normal. She was especially encouraged when she had to return to work Tuesday (after the move) and woke up easily and felt great all day.
So I wouldn't dismiss it for ALS, but I'd have the guy put his money where his mouth is. Ask for a free week's supply. If it helps great, you might want to continue, buying it. If it doesn't work, you aren't out the ~$20, he is. It cost $69/month + shipping.
By the way, I found this site and your post while searching for bad reports on MaxGXL. I haven't found anything of real concern, but it might show that I am skeptical by nature.
I'm having lunch tomorrow with my friend. His wife is out of Max and wants more. I'll check back to see if you have follow up. Not used to this site, so I don't know if there is any "instant message" type features.

Brenda,

Hats off you, lady! You asked that fellow some intelligent questions that probably took him by surprise.

Interesting someone has been asking about MaxGxL and Glutathione. Although my husband has Parkinson's, I have been giving him Glutathione push IV for the last 3 years - use to be once a week now it's more like once a month or less. I give him 4000 milligrams each time. About a month ago someone told me about MaxGxl and my husband has been taking the supplements for almost 4 weeks. It is NOT Glutathione. It has supplemental vitamins that help the body make it's own Glutathione. I still don't have an opinion on this supplement yet. What I have noticed is that my husbands mental clarity is better. His energy picked up after being on the supplements for a week. I am noticing that his walk is better. I would say it's little nuances that I'm noticing. He looks healthier than 4 weeks ago. We haven't decided yet if he is going to stay on it. We actually thought that if he went off it for a week or 2 and see if he noticed a difference then we'd have a better idea if it's doing something or not.

As far as Glutathione is concerned, nobody has to convince me of the importance of it. I don't even need a double blind study or a Doctors blessing to use it on my husband. 4 years ago my husband could barely walk from our front door to the mail box and back. He was only 47 years old and was acting very aged. This rocked his world because we was a builder as well as a body builder. We were introduced to the IV supplement Glutathione and his life changed again. He continues to get better every month. The Neurologists wouldn't give us the time of day because my husband refused the Parkinson's medicine's because they were not healthy and created a whole host of side effects over the long term. Now, 4 years later, they are starting to take notice because every 6 months when he goes for his bi-annual check up, they can't believe how well he is doing. He is not on any medicines and only takes Glutathione and right now MaxGxl. He was labeled stage 4 Parkinson's 4+ years ago and he continues to get better. The Neurologists can't tell me why. They just tell me that whatever we're doing, keep doing it.

I don't believe that Glutathione is the "cure all" per se because he still is not completely cured but it does something pretty obvious to his body. My theory (and only mine) since I've watched him go thru this daily for four+ years, is that it is helping his body clean out the toxins. I believe that if the body has the "right" stuff (whether its vitamins, supplements, etc) in it, the body will heal itself. I don't believe it's an overnight process. The way I see it is, it took him 47 years to get where he is, it may take a little while to get back to complete health. His quality of life has dramatically improved which is wonderful as we have 4 children who want their dad to be active again.

Would love to talk to anyone else who has taken Glutathione, MaxGxl and/or Reliv (it's a food supplement).

Thanks

Although I am happy for you and your husband, Parkinson's is not ALS. I don't doubt Glutathione is helping him. As I stated above, search this forum for my experience with it. I hope he continues to improve by taking it.

Ever wonder why I get suspicious when a first time poster comes here promoting products? Makes me just go hmmmm.

AL.

 

[Zaphoon]

Al, you got my curiousity aroused about this poster. It is certain that ALS didn't bring her here as her husband has Parkinsons. It must have been the mention of the supplement she supports. (If I were a meanie, I'd say she probably markets the stuff herself... but I won't go there.).

Cure for ALS in my back yard grass?

OK folks, now I Have discovered this special grass growing in my back yard, that I have never seen before in anyone else's Yard. You see it is special and I have cornered the market on it.

I tried to eat a little of it and wow, I jumped out of my wheelchair and did a dance. Best stuff you can imagine.

Now for only a pittance $1000 I will send you one ounce of my special grass, and you too can be walking and talking, blah blah blah
Horse feathers............ My new curse word.

I also have several cases of ole snake oil if you run out.
There us to be a product called "Carter's Little Liver Pills" when I was a kid and my mom made me take them, just in case? She never knew in case of what.

Just like P.T. Barnum said there is a sucker born every minute, present company excluded of course. No I did not call you a sucker, please I am just making a ridiculous point using extremes.
