Definitions for "Sulfite Sensitivity"
The Condition"...It appears that sulfite sensitivity may be caused by a relative deficiency of the enzyme sulfite oxidase which breaks down sulfites and requires molybdenum as a cofactor..." Recommendation Molybdenum" Molybdenum may be warranted for use in asthma or other symptoms associated with sulfite sensitivity because of its involvement with sulfur..." Recommendation Test Copper Levels"Serum copper should be checked because high levels can drive molybdenum levels down..."
Recommendation Vitamin B12 (Cobalamine)"...In another study, the following conditions responded to B12 use: Intractable asthma - 18 out of 20 patients improved; Chronic urticaria - 9/10 improved; Chronic contact dermatitis - 6/6 improved; Atopic dermatitis - 1/10 greatly improved and 5/10 moderately improved with 1000mcg IM once weekly for 4 weeks..."
The Condition"...It appears that sulfite sensitivity may be caused by a relative deficiency of the enzyme sulfite oxidase which breaks down sulfites and requires molybdenum as a cofactor..." Recommendation Molybdenum"...Molybdenum deficiency may be responsible for sulfite sensitivity since it is a cofactor for sulfite oxidase..."
The Condition"...There are six names used for sulfites: sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, and potassium metabisulfite..."
