Re: Sulfur for fleas, ticks, lice, chiggers and flies

[Guest guest]

Would there be any long term bad effects or any problems one could

forsee using this internally. I know sulpher is o.k. and resides in

our bodies etc... but I am wondering what over use symptoms and such

could become a problem - if any.

Pam

thanks btw.

Interesting post on sulfur. I have read other posts on this subject

and I find that there seems to be some confusion as to what if any

toxicity there is with sulfur. I believe some of the confusion is

because of a lack of understanding of the differences between

organinc and inorganic sulfur. Organinc minerals are the type we

use. Organinc minerals are created by plants when they convert

inorganic to something mammals can use.

Giving sulfur is probably not a good thing to do over a long period

of time. There are other ways of giving the body sulfur without the

potential for side effects. The best way would be to eat the plants

that are high in natural sulfur, like garlic or broccilli sprouts.

Other nutrients that contain sulfur are MSM and l-cystiene. Both

contain organic sulfur that is easy on the liver.

As for controlling fleas, if you do not want to use chemicals or

baths one of the best ways is to use diamateous earth. It is finely

ground sea shells that coat the insect. It can kill by clogging the

pores the insect uses to breathe or when the insect ingests the

material,it absorbs the water in the insects body. If is safe and

non-toxic.
