Firefighters nebulize glutathione at a VFF wellness clinic under the supervision of our partner physician, Dr. Jen Riegle
What is glutathione?
(Let’s start with how to pronounce it: gloot-a-thigh-own)
The “master antioxidant”
Produced predominantly in the liver and present in virtually every human cell, glutathione is essential for many critical processes, including DNA repair, cell protection, and detoxification.
When administered as a sterile-compounded medication through a nebulizer or IV, glutathione effectively supercharges the body’s detoxification pathways, allowing for rapid and significant reduction in a patient’s overall chemical burden.
Existing research suggests that glutathione works for:
But there were no studies on glutathione’s ability to reduce firefighter toxin levels –
so we started our own.

What can glutathione do for firefighters?
(Our partner physicians specialize in cancer treatment and prevention. They have hundreds of case studies from over a decade of experience working with firefighters. Here are two.)
Case study: Fire captain with a brain tumor
Chris Vanluen, a fire captain at an East Bay fire department, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2022. His toxicology testing following radiation revealed numerous carcinogenic chemicals that were two to three times the highest range of unsafe exposure. After glutathione treatment, his toxin levels returned to a normal range. His tumor is no longer growing.
“It wasn’t a question of if I get cancer, it’s when will I get cancer?
I was immediately put into a six-week treatment protocol for the glutathione infusions and my follow-up toxicology screening showed that my levels had dropped an average of fifty percent. Six months later, my second test following additional treatment revealed that my toxin levels were well within the acceptable range and, in some cases, were no longer present.
It is my belief that glutathione could be the one thing that helps us achieve that goal of staving off cancer.”

Case study: Firefighter with bladder cancer
Bob Molesworth has been a firefighter for 22 years and was diagnosed with bladder cancer twice – in 2022 and 2023. In early 2024, he joined our Firefighter Detoxification Pilot Program. His results were nothing short of remarkable.
“I got such incredible results that now I feel like I have a moral responsibility to make sure other firefighters get to experience glutathione too. I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

Warning:
Glutathione is safe. It’s proving to be one of the best tools we have to detox firefighters. And we might lose access to it in California.
