A few questions

[Guest guest]

Goodmorning all

If possible I would like to request some advice from the group

regarding a few matters

I react to both immune pro and NAC ( bad headaches and general unwell

feeling) which my doctor advises is due to poor cysteine metabolism

most likely due to metal toxicity.

My liver function is phase 1 double the top of the ref range while

phase 2 glutathionation at the bottom of the ref range ,glycination

and sulphation at the top end of the ref range.

Due to cysteine metabolism , hair analysis & NDF reaction my doctor

suspects metal and possibly pesticide toxicity( NDF I can only

tolerate 1 drop maximum).Both he and i are not willing to risk a

challenge test at this stage.

I am using lipoflow glutathione along with glutamine & glycine and

tumeric to build glutathione for 3months and have found a gradual

improvement in endurance from a low base.

I was wondering if anyone has had experience in rebalancing liver

function and in particular improving glutathionation without using NAC

/whey. I did try SAMe but only for 10days with no effect at all,maybe

i need a longer trial.I also am not able to tolerate lipoic acid

except in minimal doses ( 10mg ).

I also was wondering if there was any way to improve cysteine

metabolism . I am not sure if it was mentioned in the discussions on

methylation and sulphation.

My doctor has recently been at a seminar on the MT promotion protocol

,restoring the metallothionen detoxification function which has been

used for autistic children . From my preliminary research this seems

to be a secondary protocol used if other detox programs don't work .

Does anyone have any knowledge of this protocol ?

I am in Australia and many of the new tests which seem to be available

in the US/UK aren't available here that I am aware of.

thanks & regards Doug
