> 1. Sue has been on myriads of supplements for years with virtually
no obvious benefit (and considerable expense)

RGO - I didnt find anything either. That could counteract the
mercury I mean. Ok, mega doses of vit-C gave me a little more
energy. Selenium cleared the head quite a bit, Acetylcystein
increased the energy even more. But still, something was very very
wrong. Chelating is whats making me better and better. Actually, I
have never in my life felt a mental clarity like this. Had I only
been like this when I studied. :-)

> It was as if nothing was getting through to the bloodstream. We
have finally had a "leaky gut" test done and this suggests that
permeability is high and nutrients aren't being absorbed properly

RGO - Leaky gut is food sensitivities just waiting to happen, in the
long run "arthritis", "Lupus" and other nasties can follow. I was
surprised to find I suddenly didnt tolerate wheat! I'm already
cheating with L-Glutamine, thats a kicker. Besides helping to heal
the gut it also gives plenty mental energy. A leaky gut is coming up
next. For healing leaky gut, check out MD Sherry Rogers, she goes in
the forefront of REAL doctors. That book is awesome!

> No use putting in all the right foods if they just go straight
through!

RGO - Maybe, but I'm not so sure. It may be the other way around.
Deficiencies can bring the cellular detoxification to a halt. I'd
juice some vegetables, blend a 50/50 cooked and raw food like
Rice/beans/sallat/freash garlic/olive oil/salt. Easier to absorb for
the small intestines. Finish off the meal with oils. Anyway, that
made a big big difference for me. And digestive enzymes!!! plop one
after each meal.

> 2. Her sulphation pathway is actually not working - cysteine
normal to high, sulphate very low. Therefore, conventional
supplementation with cysteine, MSM etc doesn`t work for her because
her body won`t convert it. Only discoverable by specific tests.

RGO - How to boost Phase II pathways.
(Borrowed from Andy Cutlers book)

1)Gluthation conjugation:
4 parts N-acetyl cysteine, 2 parts Glutamine, 1 part Glycine,
between meals.
2)Sulfation: Supplement Sulphate and Molybden.
3) Glucuronidation: Reduce insulin resistance with chromium, provide
co-factor supplements, increase thyroid levels, reduce inflammation,
inflammation lowers rate.
4) Glycination and Taurin conjugation: Supplement glycine or taurine
and cofactors.
5) Methylation: supplement methyl donors like Trimethylglycine
choline, lecithin, SAMe, (methionine not recommended due to
homocystein formation and the need to restrict sulfur foods in some
people), and to mobilizethe methyl groups vitamin B-12 and Folate.

> 4. There is huge controversy about chelation methods. DMPS, DMSA,
EDTA, NDF, ALA, all have their advocates, all have been claimed to
give great results for some people, all have been reported by others
to give real problems. May well depend on the exact metabolism of
the particular person. It is very scary for Sue and all the ones
she has tried so far have given her bad reactions.

RGO - About chelation methods. I want a consensus to come into being
from peoples reports. So I advocate what works for me and hope other
people voice their degrees of success with other methods. Finally
the problem will probably be solved, given enough time and if people
speak up.

RGO - About the fear Sue feels. I dont really think there is much to
fear from the ALA/DMSA approach. Start with a very small dose and
follow the protocol. So many have done this. Its the IV method that
hurts people. The important thing is to really know the protocol.

All the best,

Roger
