High plasma cysteine symptoms (Andy)

[Guest guest]

Andy, I wanted to put my 17 son on a sulfur exclusion diet to see

if his chronic state of red ears, ear infections and runny nose

improve. He has never been hyperactive. He is the inhibited type of

autistic. He developed this chronic runny nose 5 years ago after the

MMR vaccine.

I would like to know if chronic ear infections/runny nose could be a

sign of high sulfur?

I've read so many times in your posts where you mention putting

someone on a sulfur exclusion diet to see if their problems improve;

but, I have never read what type of problems are symptoms of someone

with high sulfur. Can you list some of those symptoms here?

It is obvious to me he has a poor immune system due to heavy metal

toxicity.

He has not chelated with lipoic acid in over a month due to not

feeling well enough to chelate. He doesn't use DMSA. I plan to start

CLO soon. He is taking Transfer Factor, echinacea, zinc lozenges,

vit. C, beta glucan, magnesium, B complex, E, selenium,

molybdenum,chromium, Proefa from Nordic Naturals and flax seed oil.

He is also using Gaia mullein/garlic/tea tree ear drops. This stuff

helps. He is also using a warm water bag on his ears. This helps

alot, also.

I was wondering whether to do the sulfur exclusion diet first or

start the CLO first. What do you think? Thank you. Rose

Problems that may improve are depression, lethargy, motor

difficulties, emotional swings, and immune overactivity such as wild

allergies or asthma.

I don't know if the ear infections are possibly signs of this or not.

Sulfur problems seem to skew what the immune system does so part is

overactive and part underactive, so it is possible, but I haven't

heard of this particular one before. The chronic runny nose may well

be a sulfur thing.

Hopefully others on list who have found their kid to do better on low

sulfur diets will comment on exactly what changed.

If he is HIGH sulfur, he will have the problems be worse while on ALA.

If he is low sulfur they will be better while on ALA.

I don't know. With the CLO or any other source of vitamin A I would

suggest using a lot of it. 5-20 RDA's.

you could try here:

/files/ANDY_INDEX

There is a section about sulfur, thiols, NAC, etc. This will

tell you Andy's opinions only, and I am sure you will realize

that there are other opinions out there.

Oh! there is also a great write-up about sulfur and how it

relates to metals in the body on the list.

Hang on--- let me go find you a link ---

/files/Metals%2C%20Chela

tion%20and%20Enzymes

you will have to copy carefully to get that whole long line of

text....

best wishes,

Moria
