Sulfur
is a natural detoxifier for lead. By allowing fluids and nutrients
to flow freely through the cell wall, sulfur reduces pain and inflammation
and promotes healing. Every time the body removes invading toxins
from the cell, it also removes the sulfur compound that neutralizes
the toxins. This is why sulfur supplementation is so vital to daily
nutrition. Sulfur's anti-inflammatory properties and ability to
repair scar tissue around damaged areas explains its power to alleviate
rheumatoid arthritis. Persons afflicted with osteoarthritis, which
involves the deterioration of the cartilage at the ends of the bones,
are often found to be deficient in sulfur. Sulfur alleviates the
pain associated with osteoarthritis by acting as an anti-inflammatory.
Sulfur is also known for its ability to help with digestive disorders,
such as heartburn, indigestion, and gastritis. Sulfur is also important
for proper metabolism of carbohydrates and adequate uptake of sugar
molecules necessary for energy. Sulfur can restore normal blood
sugar levels as cells become permeable and helps restore pancreas
functions to normal as the cells absorb blood sugar. The body is
in a constant state of repair so if we don't get enough of the required
nutrients the end product is going to be less than perfect. This
is reflected in the aging process. Sulfur functions to inhibit this
aging process within cells.
