The so-called nerve gases and many substances used in insecticides have been shown to act by combining with a residue of serine in the active site of acetylcholine esterase, inhibiting the enzyme completely

While the body produces glutathione naturally, levels decline with age, stress, poor diet, and environmental toxin exposure, leading many to seek supplementation through various routes including oral supplements, intravenous drips, and intramuscular injections

If an abnormally high cumulative doses are administered, or the patient has low plasma pseudocholinesterase activity, then Phase I block can progress into Phase II block due to the inclusion of additional mechanisms that come into play when high synaptic levels of succinylcholine are achieved
