Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Scheduled to undergo treatment with TAXOL at 150-200 mg/m2 and CBDCA at area under the
             curve (AUC) = 5-7 every 21 or 28 days for at least 12 weeks; alternatively, paclitaxel
             can be prescribed at 80 mg/m2 weekly for at least 12 weeks, with the same CBDCA dose
             of AUC = 5-7 every 21 days; additional chemotherapy agents are allowed (bevacizumab,
             etoposide, etc) per physician discretion, as long as they are not known to be
             neurotoxic; Note: patients ideally will begin GSH therapy prior to their first dose of
             this chemotherapy, but must begin GSH therapy prior to their second dose of
             chemotherapy

          -  Ability to sign informed consent and understand the nature of a placebo-controlled

             toxin, or heredity)

          -  Other medical conditions, which in the opinion of the treating physician/allied health
