-------------Yes I think if you're low cysteine, then it is ok to take NAC,

and eat more sulfur foods, if they agree with you. It will probably be trial

and error. I also feel good when I eat eggs.--------Jackie

I would try NAC and see how you do. If you can't eat dairy, there

are lots of other sulfur foods: beans, peas, lentils, broccoli,

turnips, garlic, greens, lots of other veggies. Dare I say coffee?

If you tolerate it okay, you have a good excuse :-)

Without my two cups of coffee a day I don't think I would move at all! I'll try

some NAC; I'm

already eating all the sulfur foods I can, but I'm starting to react to beans

which is a

serious tragedy.

When I put n on SCD he did better for awhile and then progressively worse

-- he

started reacting to more and more foods until finally I took him off altogether

and just

stuck with Feingold and lots of enzymes. It feels like the same thing might be

happening

to me.

One more question -- am I right that the mag sulfate in Epsom's is not related

to sulfur

foods?

Thanks (and also thanks for looking at that hair test on a-m -- the

mom was

already doing or about to try what you suggested, so she felt happy to be on the

right

track.)

Maybe try NAET or Bioset? They work wonders for me.

Sounds like leaky gut. Maybe try some glutamine, licorice?

Right. Sulfate is not a thiol thing.

I think sulfate can also help the gut heal.

Don't remember, but I'm always glad to hear someone is happy :-)

I'm going to have to wait until I'm back from France to try that. Oh why didn't

I pack that

Bioset kit that I've never even tried?

Do you think leaky gut can be healed during intensive chelating? I think my

son's was,

after over three years of enzymes. At least he stopped reacting to foods as well

as I could

see, I didn't know about good GI testing then.

But I'm wondering how much gut health I can hope for when I'm dragging metals

through

the gut so many days a month?

I have similar questions in my mind too, Nell.

I went sugar free, low carb, and no alcohol (okay, 2 glasses of wine) and almost

no cheese to

beat back that fungal infection I had. Now I'm wondering what it will take to

maintain? Will it

get worse again when I start doing more rounds? How much sugar, carbs, and

alcohol is

okay and how much is too much?

Good luck,
