ANDY, CAN YOU EXPLAIN SOMETHING.....

[Guest guest]

Hi Andy,

How are you? This stuff about sulfur, exactly what do you mean? Is it in

foods, what is it? If a child has a sensitivity to this, what symptoms are

displayed. And Glutathione, what role do these things play? Thanks so much.

Thanks so much.

Sulfur is an atom in many food molecules. Sometimes it is in the form

of a thiol, and sometimes in another form that can be converted to a

thiol. Sulfate and sulfite are the only forms that seems not to

convert to a thiol.

People with too many thiols running around stir up their heavy metal

burdens and are in essence more poisoned than they have to be given

the amount of metal present.

High thiols also activate the allergic part of the immune system.

Glutathione is one of the body's major thiol containing molecules.

Andy,

Are you implying that Glutathione is equally bad at stirring up the metals and

promoting allergic responses because it incorporates a thiol?

The most useful test is plasma cysteine through Great Smokies Labs.

Note there is a separate compound called cystine, which is NOT what

you want tested.

To havesulfur tested beyond hair is it necessary to test serum, plasma and

erythrocytes? Which would be most true measure? Also what's a FREE copper

test? (all thru Specialty labs)

Also since I'm asking about tests, if on was to check neutrophilswith the

idea depressed levels may indicate immune defieiency...which test if any of

these(of Speciality Labs) would be indicated...1 Neutrophil Function:

Adherence 2 Neutrophil Function: Myeloperoxidase 3Nutrophil Phagocytoses

/?? I'd have thought an enumeration might suffice?!??! Help-

Thanks for the post-The Amino Acids profile from Great Smokies that we had

done shows cyst(e)ine at 4.7 with reference 3.6-6.5...in the green area?!?!

I guess that this would allow us the info. w/o additional test-right?

-added note -Asparagine/Aspartate read = 46 w/ ref. being >5. Asparagine

(solo)=6.1 w/ ref 3.1-6.0 7 Aspartic Acid (solo)= .13 w/ ref. .10-0.50

It's difficult when the Comments give all possibilities related to ratios

and individual measurements...Mid Aug. I guess our DAN Dr. appt should help

make it clearer!?!? Thanks-
