Hi,
My friend is a diabetic(medication only no injection), having thyroid and was told to avoid seafood by doctor. Can she take biosulf?
Thanks.

The Study believes that all diabetics benefit from sulfur, but not necessarily
from commercially available MSM due to the additives of commerce which
most have, i.e. anticaking agents. Biosulf should be an effective source of
that sulfur and we would be interested in seeing if it can lower your friends
blood sugar ( which requires diligent blood sugar tests, guessing that one
blood sugar has changed is a dangerous approach being that the most
serious side effects of diabetes are the vascular changes which result from
too little or too much insulin in our bodies.
Sulfur is one of the necessary minerals for insulin production in our bodies,
and we have found interesting references to cinnamon bark ( powder raw not
in caps, one teaspoon per day ) as being able reduce blood sugar by 20%
which is the same percentage of blood sugar reduction with sulfur, Beth Ley
and Earl Mindel, both Ph.Ds have reported similar reductions, our have been
observational from those members who are diagnosed diabetic.
Some of the Study members are now making their own insulin again after
years of oral meds and no longer take them with the blessings of their
physicians.
Hydration is also very important for diabetics, no diet drinks or sodas of any
kind for the pancreas seems incapable of metabolizing the sweeteners or
processed sugars.
As for thyroid conditions and seafood we have no advice. Our Study members
with hormonal issues have not reported earth shattering results with sulfur,
benefits yes but not so that they can produce enough thyroid naturally. The
issue of seafood as directed by her doctor is new to us, so we can not give
any Study references but we would suggest some further study. As I recall
cultures whose main protein is from seafood do not have thyroid issues.
Colin, the question I would address to you would you consider taking Biosulf?
Have you taking MSM before posing this question? If so whose, i.e. made by
whom. Do you have any health issues other than being a considerate friend,
sometimes a dangerous malady in today's me first and only me attitude we
see around us?
Our study of sulfur makes us believe that sulfur if pure enough to be utilized
by our cells can aid in their regeneration into new healthy cells rather than
the degenerative cells that our current food supply allows. Preservatives not
only preserve our food but they also preserve us and they processed and
preserved foods are not what we suggest to anyone especially someone
who is diabetic, or whose body is incapable of producing the necessary
insulin to metabolize sugars and carbohydrates.
I hope this answers your question even though it has way too many words
when a simple yes would have been more than adequate.

Dear Colin,
The only reason I can guess for the advice is the concern for mercury in seafood -- If that is the reason, there is no danger with Biosulf. If the doctor has some reason to worry about "sulfur" I would need to have some more specifics -- I can think of absolutely no problem == even if someone is allergic to seafood (I have such a friend) he should be able to take BS safely. We are finding the BS eliminates allergies.
Biosulf is 40% sulfur and 60% cellulose.

Dear Patrick,
I responded to Colin also, but very short -- your response was detailed and very informative.
My question to you, Patrick, is: Can you afford the time to respond to very many people as you did to Colin?
Our Business Model is still being reviewed, but part of it includes the following:
A study group will usually have a "Study Director" (SD) but can also have a "Study Advisor" (SA).
When a group is started by a person who is primarily an administrator, we would expect him to be good at recruiting new members and collecting information for publishing on the web -- a good record keeper and salesman even if he didn't know much about sulfur, health or Biosulf.
if the group is started by a doctor or some health professional who HAPPENS to also know a lot about sulfur, he would be called a Study Advisor. He would have to learn about sulfur -- about Biosulf. He could take over a Study group in partnership with a SD.
You, Patrick, are both -- and that can be very valid. Others could handle both jobs. A group's success could be ensure with brilliance in either area, or both.
It would be up to the two of them, if there are two, in their partnership to decide how to divide the income that we will soon show to be paid to the SD/SA position.
The type of advice you gave Colin would be an SA's advice -- fabulous. We would not expect an SD to be able or willing to give such detailed advice. Except you, being both.
So, there is room in this model for a Senior SA -- not in the group, but who a SD could ask to give help on some basis by answering questions such as Colin's.
For some time you, Patrick, are likely to be the Senior SA for any new groups -- although Babu would serve that function when it comes more directly to Biosulf. You should not expect to do this without exchange.
We have yet to worry about that -- not having any new groups yet -- presumably there would have to be some fee from the Group where there is no competent SA to contract for your services.
The questions still arise: Take a careful look at your advice to Colin and decide for your own safety how much of it, if any, is giving medical advice, or even just how to word the response -- practice safe advice.
The next question would be do you give advice intended for someone not in a Study group -=- I predict easily, that you can be overwhelmed with requests for advice == years ago I started receiving far more email requests for advice than I was willing to take time to read, much less respond to.
So, dear Patrick, when you have a Group with 1000 members, how many of them are likely to send you some query every month? How much time/energy would it take you to respond to each? Say 1 query per month -- means 1000 total queries per month, or about 33 per day. Could you have responded to Colin the way you did if you had 32 others that called for similar detail and length? and still do other parts of the SD's job?
In the old years I would sometimes take many days to research and answer just one question. -- I no longer do that.
When you have only a few members you may feel you can afford to spend lots of time on one query -- and that's OK, but you also have to plan for the expansion and your ability to continue some level of response when your group is large.
Colin can chime in, but I'll bet he found your response far better than mine and also far better than he could expect to get from any other source. If you can continue to provide that level of response to all who write to you -- you can have a very very happy loyal and expanding group.
Cordially,
\
