epsom salt baths, sulfate, sulfur foods & plasma cysteine

[Guest guest]

I find that I do well with Epsom salt baths and think it is the

sulfate. I didn't get a Epsom salt bath for approx 1-1/2 weeks.

When I did, it really helped relax me as well as relieve strong

feelings of agitation, frustration, etc. as well as the aches and

pains.

I supplement magnesium regularly (every 3-4 hrs or so) so I assume it

is the sulfate in the baths that helps more when I get them. I've

been trying to figure this out but am unsure if I'm putting things

together that I shouldn't be.

If I need more sulfate does that mean I need to eat more sulfur foods

too? Does that mean I probably have low or normal plasma cysteine?

Does this also mean that my phase 2 liver sulfation pathway is also

slow/screwed up? I'm confused if these are separate issues or if I

should be connecting these dots.

If this is the case that I should be eating more sulfur foods and do

have low or normal plasma cysteine – should I be doing anything else

to help myself? Is there anything else that I can use this

information to deduce?

Thanks for all of your help.
