@Sunniva - thanks for compiling all of this information.

In the past, when I used cronometer.com to track my nutrients they did not tally the amount of sulfur in my diet. I assume that the amount of sulfur varies to much from place to place.

Stephanie Seneff likes to think out-of-the-box. She seems to think that the blue-zones were indebted to the sulfur in the volcanic rock in their gardens. If you have not already read her thoughts on sulfur here is a 14 year old blog post.

Could Sulfur Deficiency be a Contributing Factor in Obesity, Heart Disease, Alzheimer's and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

@DavidPS , I had not seen that article. Thank you.

@DavidPS , I have not listened to this, but remember Patrick Timpone on one radio network was always talking about sulphur?

I know this topic is older.

But doesnt DMSO induce DNA methylation?

I read from Georgi Dinkov that DNA methylation is tied to cancer.

DMSO Transforms the Treatment of Infectious Diseases

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Introduction
DMSO is a remarkably safe and naturally occurring substance (provided you use it correctly) that rapidly improves a variety of conditions medicine struggles with —
particularly chronic pain. For reference, those conditions included:

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a safe, naturally occurring substance with properties that make it effective for treating various medical conditions, including pain, injuries, wounds, strokes, spine injuries, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and internal organ diseases

DMSO has broad antimicrobial properties, protects against microbial toxins, combats
antibiotic resistance, and helps deliver healing deep into the body to treat otherwise inaccessible infections

DMSO studies have generated evidence supporting its role in treating cancer and
autoimmune disorders through its unique antimicrobial properties

DMSO is highly effective against viruses like herpes and shingles, as well as conditions
like feline panleukopenia in cats

DMSO also proves valuable in treating persistent fungal and parasitic infections

Both DMSO and MMS don't impact DNA methylation. Surprisingly. The studies seem very clear about that.

@Sunniva I think it's really bad and a dangerous substance

one drop of dmso on my fingertip changed the pigment for about 2 months and created a permanent dot there
