Hello, My 10 year old son reacts to fruits and vegetables rich in

salicylates, and I read the following passage in the Files

section,Could some one shed some light on how to do sulfate

supplementation.

---------We've had some recent discussions about this if you want to search

archives, and I believe there is also info at www.onibasu.com/wiki. But the

easiest way to supplement sulfate is probably to take epsom salt baths, because

they are magnesium sulfate, and your body will absorb it through the skin. You

can also take the epsom salts orally, but they taste terrible!, like 1/4 to 1/2

tsp in water or whatever and drink, or you could put it in empty capsules and

swallow them. Kirkman's also sells a magnesium sulfate cream you can use. Or

you can take glucosamine sulfate, 1-2 grams per day, but not at the same time as

calcium. Sulfate is also in gelatin, and you can buy the plain Knox gelatin and

make jello just using this an juice. And the other way to conserve the sulfate

you do have is to limit the foods that require sulfation, and these include the

salicylate foods that you mention above. I will post a list of these foods I

received from at the bottom of this post, and I believe there is

a link in the links section to a very detailed list. Dean also has some info at

his website too. http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/sulfation.html

" The sulfation pathway removes certain chemicals such as salicylates

and some others. People who are sensitive to salicylates will find

that restricting them in diet and increasing sulfate supplementation

will be beneficial "

Thanks in advance!!!
