Re: Sulfur food list

[Guest guest]

First of all, I would like to apologize to Collette about jumping on her

original post about this sulfur food list. When I did so, I hadn't read Dean's

post yet, and I didn't realize she was responding to him about sulfur foods, not

the foods requiring sulfation thing, and she was actually providing wonderful

information, an updated list of sulfur foods right from Andy. I didn't know

that Dean had posted links to both food lists, and I was worried that people

were confused between the two. And it is easy to do, sulfate and sulfur sound

like pretty much the same thing. Anyway, I was just trying to clarify the

difference, and I was in no way trying to say that her list wasn't accurate.

Actually, we should all print out her updated list and stick it in our AI books

on the page with the sulfur foods. Anyway, thanks Collette!

Thanks for that, I have updated the list thanks to your help.

Now what I'd like to know is which of these foods are most dangerous to

sulfur sensitive people.

In other words which have the highest free-thiol levels so they can be

prioritized.

It would be nice if we can order the list as most offensive to least.

------------I have no idea Dean, and can't say I ever remember hearing

anything about this, and not even sure where you'd find the information. If it

does exist, then yes, it would be nice to know the worst

offenders.-----------Jackie

Interestingly, as noted:

In a post to the Frequent-Dose-Chelation Yahoo group Dr Andy Cutler writes:

" I estimate that 33-50 % of mercury toxic people have elevated cysteine. If

you have elevated cysteine and you want to convert some glutathione, take

2:1 weight ratio of glutamine and glycine and your body will do the rest. "

------------I don't recall this exact post, but I think I remember

saying this too, and this does make sense with what he says in AI about raising

glutathione. He says to take 4 parts of NAC (cysteine) to 2 parts glutamine to

1 part glycine, but if you are already high in cysteine, then dropping the NAC

and only taking the other two makes sense. Those are the three precursors to

glutathione.---------Jackie

Have any of you that are high cysteine (sulfur intolerant) tried to take

glutamine and glycine in order to make some glutathione? Andy notes that

every chronically ill person is glutathione deficient. I wonder is that is

more-so for high cysteine/sulfur people?

----------I am (was) normal cysteine, and I have tried taking NAC a few

different times, but it doesn't agree with me. I think it is just too sulfury

for me, and must raise my cysteine level too much. I am (was) low glutathione

on my Comp. Liver Detox test, almost 3 years ago, and I do take glutamine and

glycine, but I have never had it tested again, so I have no idea if it has gone

up.----------Jackie

I can't try it as I'm actually low cysteine/low sulfate so do well on sulfur

foods and sulfate supplements and things that slow down phase 1 liver and

speed up phase 2.

-------------Can you/do you take NAC Dean? If you tolerate that, then you

should be able to follow Andy's recipe in AI. It's in a few places, but on page

154 under glutamine is one of them, and I stated it above.----------Jackie

Thanks,
