Re: Sue- SULFER: Nature’s Key to Treating AUTISM/ Conf. 2006

[Guest guest]



Hi Sue,

I've previously used Kirman's magnesium sulfur cream on my daughter, but I didn't notice any difference with using or not using the cream, so I discontinued it. Have you had any experience with another brand or do you feel the Kirkman brand will work best when used at the same time as the glutathione?

SULFER: Nature’s Key to Treating AUTISM/ Conf. 2006

 Hi Ken from Sue,

These GREAT SLIDES came from the Autism One conference:

RE: Sulfur and glutathione.

( I am experiencing better results with

Topical sulfur and LW Yage Glutathione patches.)

It's helping my hyperkeratosis skin conditions as well as detoxifying the metals ETC.

Other things that help PULL metals out of the body WHILE USING Glutathione and other

chelators... are.. :

1. Activated Charcoal

2. Liver supports... that help to produce bile... like LIV AMEND, Taurine, Lysine, LCarnitine,

3. AND SULFUR see below on slide notes:

Sulfur Biochemistry in Autism

•Low Sulfur levels in the body affect many biochemical processes, including detoxification, pancreatic digestive enzymes, hormones such as CCK, neurons and Gastrointestinal function

•Sulfur and low Sulfate levels have a profound effect in autism

•Dr. Rosemary Waring discovered children with autism have trouble with their detoxification pathway

(DAN!, Spring 2003)

•This Sulfur Pathway is known as the Transsulfuration Pathway and involves the conversion of Methionine Sulfur to Sulfate

•Sulfur is necessary for detoxification of heavy metals and environmental toxins

•Detoxification pathways use Sulfur in the form of Sulfate

•Dr. Waring found most children on the spectrum are very low in Sulfate

•Autistic children were found to excrete twice as much Sulfate in their urine as a control group of children

•Boys were found to excrete twice as much Sulfate as girls in their urine

•Sulfate levels in Autistic children were found to be 1/5 the normal level

•Dr. Waring found Plasma Sulfate levels 15 percent lower in Autistic children than in the control set of children

•According to Owens, MS:

Glutathione itself can be used in detoxification, but that function appears to be dependent on the presence of sulfated Glucosaminoglycans (GAG’S)

•Glutathione is a key to detoxification!

•Remember that Glutathione requires Sulfur!

•Glutathione depends on the presences of Sulfated Glycosaminoglycans (GAG’S)

•The patterns of sulfate on GAG’S, in the brain, are critical to the branching of dendrites and modulate signals for the select but large number of neurons

•The neurons involved govern the vestibular system, the auditory system, the cerebellar system, trunk strength, the somatosensory system, many areas in the cortex, smell and taste, and five of the cranial nerves are all areas known to be affected in autism. Owens, DAN, 2003

•Dr. Wakefield found that the ileum of the intestinal tract lacks Sulfur which can lead to “Leaky Gut Syndromeâ€

•Hepatitis B Vaccination inhibits Sulphation chemistry for 1 week in the typical person

•Sulphate is needed to release pancreatic digestive enzymes.

•Many enzymes are impaired if Sulfur levels are low

Professor , DAN!, Fall 2001
