The Low Sulfur Protocol: A Clinician’s Guide

Introduction
Sulfur: A blessing and a curse

Sulfur is a blessing in that it is absolutely essential for a wide range of functions
in your body. Without access to adequate sulfur, your body couldn’t detoxify
dangerous chemicals and hormones, it couldn’t quench free radicals to prevent
DNA damage, and it couldn’t even build the muscles and other tissues that
make up your physical being.

But sulfur is also, for some people, a curse. Sulfur metabolism can get “clogged
up.” What causes the clogging? In short, it is life in the modern world. Much like
a tragic hero in mythology, sulfur’s greatest asset is also its tragic flaw. Chapter
one will explain these two faces of sulfur in greater depth.

Once you understand how sulfur can get clogged, you’ll need to know what
you can do to get it working again. Chapter two will focus on the basics, a
simple set of home therapies and daily nutrients you should be utilizing as you
do the low sulfur diet we describe. The nutrients and therapies combined with
the low sulfur diet described in Chapter three is what we collectively refer to as
our Low Sulfur Protocol (LSP).

The nutrients and therapies without the low sulfur diet are very unlikely to have
much impact at all on how you feel. On the other hand, the low sulfur diet
without the nutrients and therapies might get you some short-term relief, but
that relief is unlikely to be sustained once the low sulfur diet is stopped. They all
need to be done together, and ideally under the direction of a health care
practitioner who can advise you along the way by: keeping you accountable,
tracking your successes, and helping you develop a long term plan to follow after
completion of the LSP.
