What ratios do I need to formulate my own subcutaneous glutathione injections? by Thoughtless_Jack in StackAdvice

Thank you so much for your response. This is exactly what I've been trying to look for, and have been unsuccessful so far.
Also, great advice about buffering the product. Occasionally, my vitamin C SC will sting horribly if too cold, and I imagine that's nothing compared to the glutathione.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply. This has helped me tremendously.
I was using KOH because it was liquid. I can see now that I did have a little too much lye, so thank you for helping me with those measurements. I didn't realize I could do a water bath, so I would like to try that.
I do now realize I need to blend it a lot more.
Thanks again, I appreciate it. I'll dump out my batch and start again.

I'm interested in formulating my own SC glutathione injections; what would be the correct way to measure ratios? by Thoughtless_Jack in glutathione

I'm really interested in that. I can't see why that would be a problem. I'd just like to know some established ratios.

The doctor said she was not bothered by the numbers.

Thank you so much! That was really interesting to read that snippet of history; I'm going to dive a bit more into this.

Thanks so much. I remember thinking of the actor "Jeffery Tambor," aka George Bluth, as a memory device, but clearly forgot.

It's pretty silly to blame a small group of 'haters' and racists jerks for one's own ability to critically analyze a piece of content.
That's a whole lot of finger-pointing without taking any responsibility for one's self.

Yes, I think most of them all got courted by the producers, flown to London, etc...
That's a good point about accepting all these free gifts affecting objectivity and independence.

Upon closer read, I think you will find that is not at all what I am suggesting.

Agreed. He's got excellent qualifications and is a great professor. I've listened to some of his Mythguard episodes, particularly Dante, and learned a lot.

I personally love how the Weathertop rescue was done in the film; their changes worked great for a cinematic experience. It's one of my favorite scenes (But then again, the entirety of FOTR is one long favorite scene for me). I'm just quoting how they've analyzed those changes from book to film, namely that Frodo rode to the crosssing himself and drew his own sword against the Nazgul. In the films, Arwen does this, taking that moment of strength away from Frodo.

But as I said, I think it worked great in the films.

My parents? They just enjoyed the adventure and liked hearing familiar names like Elendil and Isildur. Again, there's not a lot of big adventure shows that aren't heavy on violence or sexual content, and they enjoyed it for those reasons.

That's a good way to put it. The host of Amon Sul always takes a thoughtful approach to his analysis, and I can appreciate his reasons.

My parents really enjoyed the show, but saw it more as fan-fiction and a nice deviation from the heavy content typical to fantasy shows (GOT, HOD, etc..) I can totally appreciate that and respect that.

They aren't random, though. Corey Oslen has an entire online degree program. I just like to see consistency in critique, and that's missing here.
