PAIN KILLERS LIKE TYLENOL AND GLUTATHIONE:

What Every Human Should Know.

Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen, is one of the most commonly used pain relievers and fever reducers in the world. Other brand names that are used for pain are also concerning.

While it can be effective in managing symptoms, few people realize the hidden cost it can have on the body—particularly its impact on glutathione, the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant.

What Is Glutathione?

Glutathione is often called the "master antioxidant" because it plays a critical role in detoxifying the liver, neutralizing free radicals, supporting immune function, and helping cells recover from stress or injury.

The body makes it naturally, but levels decline with age, stress, and exposure to toxins.

How Tylenol Affects Glutathione

When the liver processes acetaminophen, a portion of it is converted into a toxic byproduct called NAPQI.

Under normal conditions, the liver uses glutathione to neutralize this toxin and safely eliminate it.

But when Tylenol is taken in high doses—or even normal doses over time—it can overwhelm the liver’s supply of glutathione, leading to toxicity.

Without enough glutathione, the toxic byproducts build up, potentially causing liver damage or even failure.

This is especially dangerous in pets like cats and dogs, whose ability to detoxify acetaminophen is far lower than that of humans.

Why It Matters

Whether for people or pets, maintaining healthy glutathione levels is critical for long-term wellness.

Overuse of pain killers like Tylenol can silently drain this vital resource, leaving the body more vulnerable to inflammation, oxidative stress, and chronic disease.

A Smarter Approach

Instead of constantly reaching for Tylenol, consider natural ways to support your body’s healing—like boosting glutathione production. Nutritional support, lifestyle changes, or innovative solutions like LifeWave’s Glutathione patch can help increase your body’s own supply of this essential antioxidant without the risks.

Bottom Line: Tylenol may relieve pain, but it comes at a cost—your glutathione reserves.

Therefore, for safer, long-term wellness, protecting and replenishing glutathione is key.

If one has to deal effectively with pain, look at using LifeWave Aeon or IceWave.

How Glutathione Is Continuing to Surprise Us.

Article by LifeWave's Founder and CEO David Schmidt.

This article can be found on David's personal blog.

If you’ve followed my efforts with LifeWave, you’re probably familiar with my work to provide the benefits of increased glutathione levels to our customers.

Researchers have known for a while now that this antioxidant may be one of the key factors in maintaining health and wellness. However, as much as we know about glutathione, it still continues to surprise us; recent research indicates that it may play an important role in improving stem cell function, something that’s also been a focus of my recent work.

A Powerful Antioxidant

Glutathione is perhaps best known as one of the most powerful antioxidants in our bodies.

Antioxidants play a key role in our overall well-being by helping to combat the detrimental effects of free radicals.

Unchecked, these free radicals can invoke oxidative stress, which can cause a host of issues, such as systemic damage and inflammation.

Free radicals can accumulate and get out of control when there aren’t enough antioxidants in our systems to reduce their numbers. In the presence of sufficient quantities of antioxidants, however, free radicals and oxidative stress can be minimized.

Since glutathione is such a powerful antioxidant in its own right, it can play a significant role in this process. It is produced in our bodies naturally as a way to help curb inflammation and other key health risks. However, the body’s ability to produce glutathione can be influenced by many different factors, such as age, stress, and exposure to external toxins. When levels of this important antioxidant drop due to these factors, a person’s health may suffer. That’s why plenty of focus of modern research in this area has gone into finding ways to raise glutathione levels in sufficient quantities.

Elevating Glutathione

There are many proposed ways to elevate glutathione levels in the body. One popular way is to receive intravenous transfusions of the antioxidant. This method has risen to prominence, in part, because there has been mixed evidence about the efficacy of glutathione supplementation via oral ingestion. However, intravenous infusions and other similar methods are not without risks. Some people have reported unwanted side effects from the process, which has caused them to seek out other ways to increase their levels of this important antioxidant.

That’s one of the reasons that we worked so diligently to produce our glutathione patch. Through our patented phototherapy technology, our patches support optimal levels of glutathione without turning to supplementation of any kind. The result is an effective new way to work to gain the benefits of this antioxidant.

Promoting Stem Cell Health

While the ability of glutathione to protect against free radicals has, understandably, often taken front and center stage, recent research is shining a light on its ability to promote stem cell health as well. If you’ve been following our work with our recently released patented X39 patch, you already know that research into the field of regeneration is a major part of what we do at LifeWave. The X39 was created as a way for our users to gain the benefits of improved stem cell activity without having to resort to potentially dangerous surgeries. The results we’ve achieved have been inspiring, with studies and anecdotal evidence showing that the patches can help with sleep, reduction in discomfort, injury recovery, skin appearance, and much more.

Now, it seems that our glutathione patches may also be able to confer a benefit when it comes to stem cells. The science is still out on just how this important antioxidant can improve stem cell health, but initial studies are very favourable. It does appear that supporting optimal levels of glutathione can have a protective and even restorative effect on these cells. Since stem cells are responsible for creating new cells in the body, anything we can do to improve their functionality holds the potential for great health benefits in many other areas as well.

Longevity

One final takeaway about the interesting new research coming out about glutathione is how it may affect longevity. We’re likely still a ways off from fully understanding this effect, but many research studies have now observed a correlation. When we look at individuals who have lived past the age of 100, one consistent factor is that they have high levels of glutathione in their bodies. This exciting observation seems like it could represent a turning point for the advancement of longevity science and other related fields.

Glutathione has, rightfully, garnered plenty of interest in recent years. Its role as an antioxidant that can protect against oxidative stress is well established.

However, we are now beginning to appreciate its role in improving stem cell health and even longevity. With this new information coming to light, it’s an extremely exciting time to be working in the health and wellness field and developing our revolutionary technology.

Your pineal gland is a tiny endocrine gland in the middle of your brain that helps regulate your body's circadian rhythm by secreting the hormone melatonin.

Your pineal gland, also called the pineal body or epiphysis cerebri, is a tiny gland in your brain that’s located beneath the back part of the corpus callosum. It’s a part of your endocrine system and secretes the hormone melatonin. Your pineal gland’s main job is to help control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin.

The pineal gland is shaped like a tiny pinecone, which is how it got its name (“pine”-al gland). However, it is pronounced “pin-ee-uhl.”

The pineal gland is the least understood gland of the endocrine system, and it was the last part of the endocrine system to be discovered.

WHAT IS THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM?

Your endocrine system is a network of several glands that create and secrete (release) hormones.

A gland is an organ that makes one or more substances, like hormones, digestive juices, sweat or tears. Endocrine glands release hormones directly into your bloodstream.

Hormones are chemicals that coordinate different functions in your body by carrying messages through your blood to your organs, skin, muscles and other tissues. These signals tell your body what to do and when to do it.

The following organs and glands make up your endocrine system:

• Hypothalamus.

• Pituitary gland.

• Thyroid.

• Parathyroid glands.

• Adrenal glands.

• Pineal gland.

• Pancreas.

• Ovaries.

• Te**es.

The Alavida patch is designed to stimulate the brain's pineal gland, and our tests show that we also see excitation from other areas of the brain, including the pituitary, hypothalamus, and frontal lobes.

The regions of the pineal gland, pituitary and hypothalamus are responsible for controlling almost all neurohormones in the body and regulating the hormonal system.

Sleep, body temperature and immune response are also regulated.

So it is very possible that the Alavida patch will help balance your nervous system, hormones, and normalize the way your body perceives 'touch'.”

While me make no medical claims Y- AGE ALAVIDA is the second most powerful patch we offer and is a skin and body regenerating system via elevation of epithalamion peptide that increases organ function. This patch reduces oxidative stress and increases antioxidant activity. Stimulates frontal lobes and pineal gland activation that produces melatonin. So, great to take at night! This patch may help with”

Every sickness and disease is ultimately an aging challenge!

When we start having health challenges of any type, it is because the system that is sick is worn out and and not working correctly.

Why is it worn out at any age?

Because the body is no longer producing enough stem cells to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate the body on the cellular level and things begin to break down and not operate the way they were intended to.

The secrete to health and longevity is keeping your stem cells healthy and active!

So, the better we take care of our body the better it performs. This is why people age differently! Some people take care of the body and others abuse it.

But Lifewave has created a technology to assist the body to naturally activate stem cell activity! Combined with a healthy lifestyle you can live longer and healthier!

DNA Damage and Aging: The Cellular Breakdown

‍Our DNA, the instruction manual for our cells, is under constant assault. Over time, this leads to a process called genomic instability, a hallmark of aging. How does your genome become unstable? There are several ways, diet, lifestyle, exposure to toxins, and genetics all play a role in each one.

The first contributor to aging is called Oxidative Stress. Every day, our cells produce energy through a process that generates harmful free radicals. These unstable molecules can damage DNA, causing mutations.

Then, there are environmental factors. UV radiation, pollution, and certain chemicals can directly damage DNA or increase free radical production… and increase in these factors means an increase in the rate of aging.

Replication errors also play a part in aging. Each time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome. Despite impressive accuracy, errors occasionally occur during this process.

Over time, chemical modifications to DNA (without changing the sequence) can alter gene expression, affecting how cells function. These epigenetic changes are part of the aging process.

As DNA damage accumulates, it leads to several aging-related issues. One of the most significant is cellular senescence, where damaged cells stop dividing and enter a zombie-like state. These senescent “zombie cells” secrete inflammatory compounds that harm nearby healthy cells, contributing to chronic inflammation associated with aging.

DNA damage can also lead to reduced protein quality, resulting in the production of faulty proteins that don't function correctly in the body. This can affect everything from enzyme activity to structural integrity of tissues. Additionally, damage to mitochondrial DNA reduces cellular energy production, contributing to fatigue and organ dysfunction that we often associate with getting older.

Perhaps most critically, DNA damage in stem cells reduces their ability to replenish tissues, slowing healing and regeneration throughout the body. This stem cell exhaustion is a key factor in both the visible and internal signs of aging.

Telomeres: The Cellular Timekeepers

Telomeres are like the plastic tips on shoelaces, protecting the ends of our chromosomes from fraying. These repetitive DNA sequences play a crucial role in cellular aging and overall health. As we age, our telomeres naturally shorten, acting as a biological clock that ticks down with each cell division. When a cell divides, the DNA replication machinery can't reach the very end of the chromosome, resulting in a slight loss of genetic material. Telomeres serve as a buffer, allowing this loss to occur without damaging essential genes.

However, this protective mechanism comes at a cost – telomeres shorten with each division. As telomeres wear down, cells face increasing genomic instability. When telomeres become critically short, cells typically stop dividing and enter a state of senescence or undergo programmed cell death. The rate of telomere shortening isn't uniform across individuals. The factors mentioned above (stress, environmental toxins, and nutrition) can accelerate telomere erosion. Which is one way that scientists are able to identify the rise in accelerated aging that we’re seeing today.

Lifestyle is key and now we have Lifewave technology to help us rebuild, repair, and rejuvenate our Telomeres!

I recommend X39, Aeon, Carnosine and Alavida for assisting the body to improve telomere health!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

“I am pleased to introduce Caroline Yachymczyk, a remarkable lady in her mid-80s who faced numerous health challenges last year, including breathing difficulties and hospitalizations. Although she was placed on oxygen full-time, her condition remained unchanged. She required a walker and had limited energy. However, since starting to wear our patches in June, Caroline has experienced a significant transformation. She has discontinued oxygen therapy and now uses a cane instead of a walker. Her renewed vitality is a testament to her improved health, and I encourage you to view her impressive before-and-after photos. Caroline's progress brings me immense joy. “

For 5.5 years i still do the same thing. It's works wonders for me and all the folks. My protocol is a 90 day run with just X39. Then they get there only X39 story and aren't overwhelmed with a bunch of other patches all at once. It's also more affordable for a couple starting out. Then they can add later. Remember when X39 came on board January 2019 it was all inclusive. It did a little bit of everything. Pain, sleep, energy ect. It even helped your body generate about 30% more glutathione but it does one thing none of the other patches did. It activities your master cells.

A MESSAGE FROM A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOMER "ES" THAT HAS SO MANY HEALTH STRUGGLES, BLESS HER.
SHE SENT ME THIS YESTERDAY.... Kerry Wilde
---------------------------
"So I thought the patches were doing nothing for me.
After I used the last ones, I definitely felt much worse.
I didn't realise how clear-headed I felt and more energised.
Yes I was still in some pain, but since I haven't had any patches on I had a banging head every day and I have got one now.
I have not slept, and my pain is increasing, so I was wrong.
I can feel the difference 100% by not having any patches on.
I have got an apology to make to whoever needs one and I was wrong.
I also thought I'd see if they refunded without any questions asked, and yes, they did.
Overall, hun, I 100% am satisfied that I was wrong ###x".

Want to help someone after having a stroke…? Read and dm for help!!!

From Michele George. STROKE TESTIMONY

Some of you may not know, but the day before Thanksgiving my husband had a massive stroke. Pictured here, it shows (the dark spot) practically half his brain was affected.

Many of you know that we have a Martial Arts School, and are avid hunters. We are very active. In fact, we were headed out the door for Muzzleloader Elk hunting when this occurred.

We were in the ICU for 5 days, because of the massive swelling that was occurring in his brain. The doctors were preparing us for a possible craniotomy (cutting his skull open) to relieve the pressure on his brain.

However, with this happening, the doctors and nurses would also keep commenting, “If I had Only seen the MRI without seeing him in person, I wouldn’t have believed my eyes”! They certainly couldn’t explain it.

David kept getting better and the only symptom was a partial loss of sight. They finally just had to move him out of ICU. And then after 2 days they completely released him and sent him home.

I believe God provided these Patches and created this Miracle for us. You can see he is wearing them in the picture.

There are SO many emotions that we are feeling, along with gratefulness to celebrate this total Miracle!

We are using x39, aeon, glutathione, carnosine, and now x49.
