Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Well, on the one hand, I'd say, " If it ain't broke, don't fix it! " On the other hand, if he's chelating, then something's clearly broke. The difficulty I see here, is that sometimes we don't know what's making us feel bad, or even that we feel bad, unless we try something different. Every time I found another food that I reacted to, after taking it out for a while, I was shocked at how bad reintroducing it made me feel. Also, there is this strange tendency we have to really chow down on the foods that are just _really_ bad for us; and since he's really going whole hog, he either really needs it, or they're really provoking symptoms, and he's trying to keep himself in a chronically reactive state - which you'll understand is more comfortable than an acute state. That's why elimination diets involve taking out all reactive substances for a while, and then re-introducing them (in quantity). At the re-introduction, we get to see what the acute effects are; which is usually sufficient to cure us of the problem. So. He's an adult. Talk to him about it. Maybe he'll get curious about why he needs so much. He's going to have to show a little interest in experimenting though - I mean, you can't do it all yourself.

How would I know if he may be having problems from the sulfur foods and should avoid them? In his diet he gets, eggs, asparagus, avocado, garlic, onions, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, lentils, goat milk yogurt. This is pretty much daily. I worry in case I am giving the wrong foods and all the effort is going to waste, besides the possible harm I may inadvertently cause. His breakfast consists of eggs, asparagus and avocado with onions too. He does say he feels fine after his breakfast. Can we continue like this?

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 If he feels fine, he is probably fine. Some people actually do better with sulfur in the diet. If he had a problem with it, he would not feel well after consuming all that.

Hi, If you are interested in trying a sulfur exclusion trial, there are instructions and explanations here: http://onibasu.com/wiki/Cysteine_status Problems from eating sulfur foods may not be evident right after a meal. The page above has Andy's comments on this, and you can decide if a trial would be useful. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Jada. While you are welcome to your own point of view, I'd appreciate not being quoted out of context. I said a lot more than that, and your snippet doesn't do justice to what I did say, which I think was a little more nuanced. Thank you, Dave.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Wow, this makes a lot of sense. Im a newb and just had my amalgams removedrecently. Everything I read involving Cutler is dead on the money. Its pretty interesting that many supplements which have made me feel better are coincidentally the same as all the amalgam sickness folks. I would like to do this simple sulfur test. Just recently I started letting my diet slide around. And I have been feeling better...While looking at that list I can say I definitely eat A LOT of all of those. MSM and it put me through hell. I can't take that stuff... My DMSA is on the way and I am going to follow Cutlers words. I see this list of what not to eat. Now I got nothing to eat, lol What CAN I eat healhty while doing the sulfur test?
