Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've been studying page 110/111 in AI. It's pretty clear that I'm a fast phase 1/slow phase 2. I have very strong (life changing!) chemical sensitivities, a sudden harsh reaction to car exhaust, elevated bilirubin on blood profiles, react poorly to DHEA supplementation and don't even THINK about preservatives in foods. And I am benefiting from NCA supplementation, do fine with cruciferous vegetables and don't seem to have a problem with sulphery foods (except for garlic and eggs which are no-no's as per my IgG allergy test.) So the way I read it, it looks like I have " poor glutathione conjugation " as well as " impaired methylation " and " defects in sulfation " which, I THINK, means my " sulfate pathway is overloaded " ? If I want to increase my phase 2 metabolism it looks like I should increase foods like cruciferous vegetables, red grapes (ellegiac acid), rosemary and soy. Any other foods come to mind? And I should stay away from preservatives and acetaminophen (because they delete sulfates?) And I should supplement with choline, trimethylglycine, folic acid, B- 12 and S-adenossylmethione. (If I get injections of phosphatidylcholine, some German stuff called " LipoStabil " , is that good for me?) For the sulfation problem particularly, I should try to take any of the " sulfates " like glucosamine sulfate, etc. There are lots of little questions buried in this post and I'd also love to know what the difference is between the topics I've listed in the subject line. Thanks! ~robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Liver Detox test is several years old so the information provided is not necessarily relevant now, plus I was normal on everything aside from having off the chart high plasma sulfate. However, glucuronidation was low normal and sulfation and gluthatione conjugation high normal. Phase 1 right in the middle of normal. I also have chemical sensitivity but not sure if I react to all chemicals. I am intolerant of almost all food, except 4! Just the smell of highly aromatic spices gives me symptoms. I may be slow phase 1, but then I could be fast phase 1. Completely not clear to me. I get clear symptoms from salicylates and phenols so I'm pretty certain that sulfation is not really working and glucuronidation too. It's a mystery! I don't see how my test could have shown high plasma sulfate and normal sulfation. Did you say somewhere that you are only able to take 6mg DMSA? How do you measure out the amounts? What size empty capsules do you use? It seems if the empty capsule is to small, it could be difficult to get the DMSA in. I received my 25mg DMSA caps, but haven't started my first round yet.
