Re: More info Methylation and Sulfur ( yasko notes)

[Guest guest]

I am low on sulfur and have been for years according to the doctors data testing.

i suspect i am sensitive to sulfur, but we need sulfur to detox.

how does one know whether or not to take it ?

I do not think we want to "throw out the baby with

the bath water" when it comes to sulfur donors. We do

need some sulfur in the system. I feel that sulfur that

if complexed in an herb is okay for the most part. So,

I would actually remove some of the items from the list

that you have. While things like garlic, onion, brocolli

are going to be higher in sulfur, using small amounts of

those gives you the positives. I would not go high dose

on those, but lower doses do have benefits in the body.

I try to avoid direct addition of sulfur, ie MSM,

chondroitin sulfate, magnesium sulfate,etc.

I would not eliminate herbs that may contain sulfur

but also have other positives, so I would not eliminate

horsetail grass, spirulina, dandelion leaf, parsley...

Recognize that methionine which we need in the form of

plain methionine or SAMe does in fact contain sulfur,

it is a sulfur amino acid. So is taurine and cysteine.

So, what I would leave on your list to limit for those who

are having issues in this department is the following:

taurine (depending on genetics and urine AA levels)

broccoli (low dose ok)

garlic (low dose ok)

glutathione (low dose ok)

NAC

SAMe (ok depending on COMT status)

magnesium sulfate cream

glucosamine sulfate

chondroitin sulfate

MSM

ALA

milk thistle (low dose ok)

Beyond C

DMPS

DMSA

Heparin

onion (low dose ok)

coconut milk, juice, oil (very low dose)

You may want to test first. Amy Yasko had a genetic pathways test, there maybe

others out there, I am not aware of which ones.

Google, Holistic Health web site for more info.
