I got mine from Holistic Heal but they are expensive. They have to be kept cold so it is expensive to ship them too. I have become disillusioned with Holistic Heal after I looked at the ingredients in the Neurological Health formula vitamins and saw it contains cheap, even harmful ingredients. Maybe trying your local pharmacy first or amazon.com.

I bought mine on Amazon for half of what Holistic Heal charges. You want the sulfate not the sulfite strips.

So I got those test strips and my results look close to <200 or >400 on the color key. These are the 2 lowest in the test range.

Any comments on testing? I'll repeat the test a few times and see how it looks. Low sulphur = good, right? I'm checking in relation to CBS/BMHT mutations.

Let the urine sit 10-20 minutes and retest. Sulfites break down into sulfate in the presence of oxygen.

According to http://www.heartfixer.com/AMRI-Nutrigenomics.htm (scroll down to the section titled "CBS: Cystathionine Beta Synthase"),

"Check and record your urine sulfate level every 7 days. Our goal is to reduce your reading to 400 mg/L (one yellow and three pink squares) or

at least to 800 mg/L (two yellow and one pink), and then to keep it there for two months (at which time you will feel better)."

So I've tested about 7 times and I get readings from the lowest to the middle (>800). It can change over course if the day.

I take it I'm already in the ok range cited by the heartfixer page.

My understanding is they recommend to test at the same time of the day, weekly.

Yes, under 800 is consider good. Mine ran around 200-400 until I added Milk Thistle, NAC and ALA into my supplements to protect my liver. Then it spiked.

Do you take yucca or activated charcoal with high protein meals? I haven't. I sprinkled some yucca on my chicken one night. Had to throw it out. I don't know how the mom's with autistic kids get them to it their food with it sprinkled on it. I decided I would just take a capsule next time. But I keep forgetting.

What is your next snp to work on?
