Glutathione plays a vital role in the immune system as the key antioxidant for all cells. In the context of HIV/AIDS, the virus targets the T-helper cell, which is essential for coordinating the immune response. The virus has the ability to replicate indefinitely and can encode for glutathione, depleting the precursors needed to produce it. By supplying the three amino acids and selenium that are necessary for glutathione production, it may be possible to prevent the transition from HIV to full-blown AIDS. This protocol has been successful for AIDS patients and may also be helpful for individuals with other viruses such as hepatitis C, hepatitis B, and cocksacki virus.
