A couple of years ago I had dmps injections -- I know BAD! -- and I felt alot better intially. My joints especially seemed to connect better and my thinking was clearer. But it only lasted for about an hour. Anyway, the doctor said " well maybe you just needed the sulfur/sulfite ...I can't remember which it was. I'm thinking I have a problem with sulfur(can't tolerate msm,alot of ala, etc) but all my reading says that sulfur is needed for joints/tendons/collagen all of which is a huge problem for me. So is my body just not distributing it to where it needs to go? Also, since sulfur is essential for health, won't eliminating it be unhealthy? This is so confusing - also, what is sulfite and if I'm low can I safely supplement it? Thanks... Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
