I am very confused. Sulphur is required for the phase 2 detox pathway in the liver, but CBS upregulation and molybdenum deficiency require sulphur reduction from the diet and supplements. When CBS is regulated, methylation can then detoxify toxins properly with appropriate supplementation, but is there enough sulphur available for the phase 2 detoxification of those toxins?
I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in 2006, so ever since have been basing my diet and supplements around brassicas and broccoli sprouts. I tested as fast phase 1 and slow phase 2 many years ago. I don't mind limiting the brassicas if I can tolerate a sulphur limiting diet, but I was hoping to include a broccoli sprout extract for all it's health benefits, including helping to fix impaired DNA. I would have to exclude it I believe if on a low S diet. How do I support phase 2 liver detox on a low S diet?
And under what circumstances are epsom baths a good idea, and when not? I was doing these regularly, and since stopping and every few days having Thorne Basic B complex, and occasionally a drop of Seeking Health's Methylcobalamin drops (potassium sorbate and soy derived phosphatidyl choline....aargh!), I am having trouble with calf muscle soreness and extremely weak legs. Don't yet know if this is magnesium, calcium or potassium deficiency or none of these, but I need to figure it out or I'll be going into a wheelchair.
