    CBS Protocol

    xjhuez I also wanted to mention that all of the other products that you are looking into, I don't believe would hurt either. I take a probiotic (away from the pancreatic enzymes) and on occation a digestive enzyme with food so I wouldn't discount digestive support from other angles as well...

    CBS Protocol

    xJhuez By no means do I consider myself an expert on any of this so take this all with a grain of salt or vitamin C or whatever :) I take the pancreatic enzymes for the simple fact that (in my logic) the pancreas is your digestive enzyme factory. The pancreatic duct, which dumps digestive...

    What to buy: sulfate or sulfite strips?

    I bought sulfate strips because I was under the impression that the sulfur or sulfites in food, supplement, or additive were all converted into sulfate by SOUX. Now, one of the issues I am running across is what time of the day to use the strips. My morning urine sulfate is always around 800 and...

    Can anyone tell me what I can eat? please

    I cut myself short on that last post. Anyway, I heard that VDR/COMT status that I have means that I need methyl donors, and since methyl donors come from the very food that a CBS +/+ cannot eat (sulfur foods like kale broccholi, chocolate, coffee, etc) I am very confused on what I should put...

    Can anyone tell me what I can eat? please

    Can someone please help me? 1) I am a +/+ for the CBS A360A and -/- for the 677T CBS? - Should I treat these two exactly the same (limit sulfur and animal protein)? 2) I also have a the VDR taq +/+ and COMT -/- (V158M and H62H)
