Re: taurine versus low-sulfur diet

[Guest guest]

Taurine with zinc is supposed to work very synergistically in I believe

its the healing from mercury. My taurine levels were off the charts LOW

in my amino acid tests so i take 1000 mgs 3 times a day along with I

believe its 30 mgs of zinc 3 times a day

I know even with this supplementation for the last 8-12 months, I still

had/have problems with sulphur foods...so from this perspective it was

an easy choice to nix the sulphur foods..even though i break down once

a month and have a bacon/eggs bagel or a veggie burrito

plus each of us is so individualistic in how we respond to things, I

think the safest route is to avoid rather than try to mitigate effect

its easier on your body and we have to be easy on the body when

chelating

I think if you look in the index there are many areas that AI

recommends as being benefitting from Taurine supplementation

I have found in AI that it is so vast in valuable information and

the various treatments that you can realistically only pick a handful

of things to be trying at once. I mean there must be at least 1000

different things it suggest to try and the really wild thing is Andy is

so spot on with everything..

so my point is i guess it would be hard to summarize specifics as

for most of us, we are messed up in 50 different areas and deficiencies

He is saying there is an association, ie if you have sulfur food

reactions you may have low taurine. He is not saying that giving

taurine will correct sulfur food intolerance.

Taurine can be helpful for people who are low in it, but others are

high and will not respond well.

If you have a problem with sulfur foods there are many other options

to treat dysbiosis besides garlic.

and I use dietary eggs

Eggs are fine to eat if you don't have a problem with sulfur foods.

Some people need to maximize sulfur foods in their diet and feel

great improvement from doing this. As to using eggs as a source of

choline, food sources generally do not provide enough of the

nutrients we need. I don't specifically know how much choline is

in eggs, but you may want to consider a supplement as well.
