No. Sulfate is OK. The sulfur in it (and in DMSA) isn't

interconvertible with the other kinds of sulfur in the body. MSM,

DMSO, glutathione, cysteine, cystine, and the sulfur in " sulfur

foods " are all interconvertible and all must be avoided if " sulfur "

is a problem as indicated by elevated plasma cysteine or by dietary

experiment. Any or all of these can be fed to people with low plasma

cysteine, or who do well on a high sulfur diet, but sulfate and epsom

salt baths won't help those who need more sulfur.
