Re: suphur metabolism (again)

[Guest guest]

Yes it means either or both. Usually they go together anyway. If your

conjugation is low..your glutathione is too I believe. I don't think I

have yet to hear report of an Hg toxic person with high glutathione.

Part of Phase 2 liver metabolism is glutathione conjugation which

removed hydrocarbons from the body and heavy metals. It also reflects

the amount of gluathione available in cells as an antioxidant.

If glutathione conjugation is slow it will slow the liver's excretion

of heavy metals..this is corrected with NAC.

Basically, low conjugation..you can't dump metals.

Impaired sulphation: what this means is that you don't process

sulphates well.

What is a good idea is milk thistle four times a day to help the liver

work. We have seen an improvement in my son's liver sulphation just

doing that. We know he has a sulphation problem because he does well

on Feingold diet (page 110 on Phase 2 Metabolism). He reacts badly to

sulphates like food coloring, preservatives, apples, grapes. Over the

past 20 months of being on milk thistle..he is able to tolerate small

food infractions with less reaction that he used to have. This

indicates his liver is handling sulphation better than it did before

Milk thistle.

Are you sensitive to medications or chemicals..finding yourself

reacting to far lower doses than other people, or being offended by

odors others aren't. Get headaches from smells? Things like that

indicate slow Phase 2. Which goes with glutathione conjugation

problems, and sulphation. They are all intertwined I guess it the

easiest way to say it.

Basically, you need NAC, milk thistle and the things you mentioned can

only help. You can also take mag sulfate, to help (page 111 top)

Not sure if this helps any...

Hi Jada, Thanks for your explanation here.. And " YES " to all yo ask.

It looks like I'd better try out Feingold...

And Epsom Salt baths are GOOD right? And other sulfates like

glucosamine sulphate etc...

btw, does it matter if sulfate is spelled sulphate or is that a

different chemical? (sorry math, physics person here.. :-) )
