Hello! I've been reading many of the threads on this forum, trying to
understand the subject
better. About 3.5 years ago, I started avoiding foods high in phytoestrogen,
which
significantly decreased my endometriosis symptoms. However, now that I know
about
Failsafe, I know that some of the high estrogen foods are also foods to be
avoided on the
Failsafe diet. I was also eating certain foods high in amines and and
salicylates, so now I'm
wondering if it's all just an issue of threshold (for me) or if avoiding
phytoestrogens takes
the burden off the detox process, therefore allowing me to process the high
amine and
salicylate food I was eating. I've found a small amount of information that
says there's a
similar or same pathway that's used for both estrogen (not sure which estrogen
they meant)
and salicylates (perhaps also amines?). Any thoughts?
Thanks! Cheryl
