Sulfites

Hello there,

I have just found out I have a sulfur toxicity (excess sulfites) due to a problem with my methylation pathways. I understand there is an enzyme called SUOX that converts sulfites into sulfates through oxidation. Is it possible chlorine dioxide could do this also?

I've never seen any writings by Archbishop Jim Humble which address this issue.

I did find this with a Google search:

According to my very weak understanding of chemistry, the difference between sulfite and sulfate molecules is that sulfate has 1 more oxygen atom. That being the case, then yes it seems it is possible for chlorine dioxide to produce the effect you're looking for.

I don't have a great understanding of chemistry, so take this disclaimer.

I think ClO2 oxidizes primarily through Cl- and leaving molecular Oxygen O2 behind. A sulfite needs an extra O to make a sulfate so I'm not so sure this is what would happen with ClO2. that being said, it's generally the Sulfur aminos that ClO2 reacts with so maybe it will anyway. Especially if the body seems some O2 laying next to some sulfite it might be able to use it to fix things.

There appears to be more than meets the eye when it comes to ClO2. it may not just be oxidizing and killing the bad bugs, it may be depositing O2 enabling the body to flush ready oxygen into hypoxic cells. If that's the case, or something along those lines, that would explain why it's been such a game changer and works to solve a myriad of (or all) problems one has in one's body.

perhaps you can test your theory by applying DMSO topically immediately after an espom salt soak. I would think the area would have soaked up sulfate with the magnesium and locally the level of sulfate should be relatively higher.

thanks for all your info and the update. I've just started digging into the links you provided though some overlaps with other research I've dove into prior and I have no reason to suspect sulphite issues for myself at the moment. That being said, perhaps any methylation issue can spell even a partial sulfur problem.
