What I meant was that glucosamine sulfate may work as a way to

supplement sulfate. It's not usually the first thing recommended

for someone with low sulfate, but I have heard of it.

I don't have a source re: cartilage and sulfation. You might want

to join the following group and ask about this, or search the

archives there. I know the topic of glucosamine sulfate as a way

to supplement sulfate was discussed recently.

It would be possible for all of you have adrenal stress...

In any case, it seems to me you have a number of symptoms of

adrenal fatigue and testing could be informative - or you could

try treating with adrenal cortex extract, herbs, or hormone

support and see if it helps.

You can get a saliva cortisol test without a doctor from a number

of sources. This place has the lowest prices I have seen:

I developed much worsened allergies and joint problems for the first

time after a heavy mercury exposure. My doctor sent me away, too,

and said nothing to worry about. She did give me Allegra for the

allergies, but I preferred stinging nettles.

Generally speaking, yes. There are a rare few individuals who need

more than a few rounds to see a difference, but it is nearly always

obvious from the outset.

You're welcome! Hope you can find some answers and some relief.
