Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So my question today is, are you getting enough sulfur in your diet? And what is

sulfur? And what is it good for? And how would this apply to your health? Well, sulfur is

really, really important in several aspects. Number one, it's needed to make two very important amino acids. Okay, one's called

methionine, and the other one is called cysteine. Now, methionine is an essential amino acid,

which means you must get it from your diet. Your body cannot make it. Yet cysteine can be made

the supplements for joints involve sulfur. Also, methyonine has been known to decrease

kidney stones in dogs. So if your dog has kidney stones, start giving it methionine.

Thinine is important in keeping your histamines low to prevent allergies. So some people take
