> Way over my head here but what I get from this is that sulfation may be a factor influencing certain peptides which effect the DA autoreceptors? I have been recently made aware of three other processes so far that may impact the sensitivity of these autoreceptors - though again they were all a bit out of my range of comprehension. I wonder what your post suggests (if anything) for treatment. Maybe Larry, Ray or JLx can help out here.

Thanks Jan for that info, I love the work the autistism doctors are doing, and it's the lack of sulphate to activate CCK that some of them think leads to the gut/brain problems seen in autism. MSM is a good supplement to raise sulphate - normal sulphate gives me bowel problems, but I did have an epsom salt solution drip a few years ago and that felt great!
We should generate our own sulphate from the amino acid cysteine, but autoimmune people tend to have a block in the enzyme 'cysteine dioxygenase' causing an accumulation of cysteine and homocysteine.
