so my question today is are you getting enough  sulfur in your diet and what is sulfur and what  

is it good for and how would this apply to your  health well sulfur is uh really really important  

in several aspects number one it’s needed to make  two very important amino acids okay one’s called  

methionine and the other one is called cysteine  now methionine is an essential amino acid which  

means you must get it from your diet your body  cannot make it yet cystine can be made from your  

body but you need sulfur to make both of these  amino acids and sulfur is also very important in  

making the antioxidant glutathione which has  a very important function in detoxification  

especially in your liver for many different things  in fact if you’re deficient in glutathione you’re  

going to build up too much hydrogen peroxide and  that can actually lead to a whole bunch of things  

one being your hair becomes prematurely gray  and you’re just kind of a hard time clearing  

toxins from the body sulfur is very  necessary in making keratin which is  

essential for your hair nails and skin  it gives the structure of your skin  

so if you’re not getting enough keratin because  you don’t have enough sulfur your skin’s going to  

become loose sulfur is necessary in making insulin  and if you’ve been watching any of my videos you  

know how important that is number three it’s  involved in collagen synthesis so without sulfur  

you can’t make collagen which makes up your  joints and if you’re deficient in that you’re  

going to have all sorts of problems with joints  joints falling apart and this is why a lot of  

the supplements for joints involve sulfur  also methionine has been known to decrease  

kidney stones in dogs so if your dog has kidney  stones start giving it methionine finite is  

important in keeping your histamines low to  prevent allergies so some people take methionine  

to help with allergies and even asthma and number  seven it’s intimately involved in phase one phase  

two detoxification so if there’s a poison that  comes in your body like something that can cause  

cancer sulfur-based methionine is needed to help  clear out these poisons and so if you’re low on  

sulfur or methionine you’re going to build up a  lot more toxins in your body and you could even be  

more susceptible to getting cancer because these  chemicals can’t be cleared from the body sulfur is  

also needed to make vitamin b1 thymine as well as  biotin rats fed without the amino acid methionine  

develop fatty livers and so where do we get softer  well it’s in fish it’s in seafood it’s in beef  

it’s in eggs it’s in cheese it’s in garlic onions  brussels sprouts in cabbage but the form of sulfur  

in plants is different than in animal products  it’s in an inorganic form which means that most  

of the sulfur based compounds in your body are  going to come more from the animal based products  

versus the inorganic form so in other words if  you’re relying on your sulfur just from plants  

you may be deficient now what situations could  occur if you might be deficient in sulfur number  

one if you’re taking a lot of acetaminophen  which is going to deplete your sulfur  

because you need more sulfur to get rid of  this chemical so anything of a toxic nature or  

anything involving medications or drugs or  anything you’re going to need more sulfur to get  

rid of it also you’re gonna need more sulfur if  you have an infection if you’re exposed to toxins  

and if you’re consuming proteins with  either no or low methionine like in fruit  

most vegetables excluding garlic onions brussels  sprouts and cabbage and legumes and so if your  

diet is primarily fruits vegetables and legumes  you’re going to have an incomplete protein you’re  

going to have to substitute your diet with more  methionine also if you’re estrogen dominant or  

you have a lot of estrogen to your body let’s  say you’re taking birth control pills or  

hormone replacement therapy you’re going to  need more sulfur to detoxify estrogen as well so  

in summary make sure you’re consuming enough  fish seafood beef eggs cheese and definitely  

garlic onions brussels sprouts and cabbage hey  before you go if you’re benefiting from any of my
