To put it mildly the Lifewave glutathione patch is impressive. Within 15 minutes of first applying one I began to feel slightly nauseous and woozy. Since nothing enters the body from the patches I can only assume this was a "Detox" reaction due to toxins being mobilised in my body by increased glutathione levels.

I have tried many other ways of raising glutathione from reduced glutathione and N-Acetyl-Cysteine supplements to non-denatured whey and intravenous glutathione and never experienced a reaction like this. Studies carried out so far on the Lifewave glutathione patch have indeed shown it is able to raise blood glutathione levels significanctly in a very short period of time.

I continued to wear the patches for a month and for the first 3 or 4 times I always experienced the "detox" reaction but after that I simply gained a general sense of well being which may well have continued to increased had I used the patches longer. Which brings me to my only negative point....cost.

A month's supply of the Lifewave glutathione patch costs around $60. I would like to use them on a continual basis but this is currently beyond my financial reach. I do use the Lifewave Silent Nights patches to aid sleep as I feel this is most important. When put into context however, Lifewave glutathione patches are comparable in price to non-denatured whey products which I have found to be less effective in a clearly discernible way.

My advice would be to try the patches for yourself and see if you get any benefits. Trial packs are available cheaply which allow you to see if they work for you before you pay out for a month supply.

Like many people I was initially sceptical of Lifewave patches but chronic illness has taught me that it is worth trying anything no matter if science has proven how it works or not (especially where there is no risk involved). I do and always have respected the scientific method but there are a lot of double standards. Lifewave patches and the principles of acupuncture on which they are based are often derided while antidepressant drugs are routinely dished out in their millions......despite a long side-effects list and compelling evidence that they are little more effective than placebo.

I'd recommend anyone try the Lifewave glutathione patches and make up their own minds. You may well be amazed at the results.

was contacted by a member of the medical staff at LifeWave towards the end of 2006 after they had come across The Environmental Illness Resource in a web search. After visiting the LifeWave web site and reading various bits and pieces on the web I was skeptical of the claims, but intrigued. Suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and environmental illness has taught me not to rule anything out that might just help me to feel better. With this in mind I decided to give the LifeWave patches a go, despite the high cost, and have since tried a number of different patches.

The Rest Quiet patches claim to induce a restful night's sleep followed by a day of increased energy. Getting straight to the point I have to say this is exactly what I got! Placing one of the patches on my temple I climbed into bed and awaited the results.

On waking the next day it was readily apparent that the patch had had a positive effect. I don't recall waking during the night at all, which is common for me, and I definitely felt more rested than usual. I generally wake feeling groggy and anxious and it takes 30 minutes to an hour for me to get going. After using the Rest Quiet patch I felt relaxed and happy and certainly had more energy than usual. As a result of having a better night's sleep I also felt better throughout the next day and was able to be more productive.

I continued to use the patch daily and the results were the same every night. In fact, my quality of sleep continued to gradually improve the more I used the patch. I have tried many sleep aids in the past, many have helped me get off to sleep but none has come close to giving me such a restful night's sleep as the LifeWave Rest Quiet patch.

Concerned with the price which is a little high for someone on low income, I contacted the company and they suggested I only use half a patch per night. This is easy to do as the paper backing protecting the adhesive surface is split in half. Removing only one half allows you to reuse the patch the next night. I found that using the patch this way still produced much improved sleep and made the price of the patches much more affordable.

I didn't experience any side-effects at all with this patch and continue to use it every night. I know like me, many people will find the cost a little high at first glance but it really is worth it. There is nothing more important to how you feel than a good night's sleep and the LifeWave Rest Quiet patch is the clear winner in achieving this in my experience.

The Energy Enchancer patches come in the form of 2 small patches of different colours, one to be applied to the left side of the body and one to the right. The patches can be placed in a handful of strategic locations depending on the activities that the users engages in. There are different prescribed locations for long distance running and weightlifting for example. The patches come with a glossy booklet explaining all of this with handy diagrams.

The patches themselves are the size of an average coin and compose of clear plastic with a central area containing the magic ingredients. It must be stressed that nothing actually enters the body from the patches, they supposedly work on similar principals to acupuncture, using the body's energy system; "Software for the Body" as the marketing goes. It is suggested that the Energy Enhancer patch stimulates production of carnitine in the body. Carnitine is an amino acid that transports fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are utilized in energy production.

No matter how they work, I can report from my personal experience that they DO work, and very effectively. After applying the Energy Enhancer patches for the first time I quickly began to feel highly energized. I felt more energetic physically and a lot brighter mentally. This was maintained for the 12 hours I wore the patches and for some time afterwards. Skeptics may suggest this was just placebo effect but I would have to say the effect was far too powerful for that and was repeated on subsequent times that I wore the patches.

There are only 2 drawbacks to the Energy Enhancer I would mention. First, they did end up keeping me awake at night as I was TOO energized. This may well be just me as I tend to have the same experience with anything that has an energizing/stimulant effect. The major drawback is that the Energy Enhancer (and all LifeWave patches) cost so much. I have no doubt the Energy Enhancer works but for me it is not the only health product I would buy every month so the cost is a little prohibitive.

In conclusion, I would definitely recommend that any body suffering from fatigue should give LifeWave Energy Enhancer patches a try, as well as those who want increased performance in sports. You really have to try them for yourself to appreciate what they can do!
