At this point, I will let go of analyzing the why and just go with where we are heading...
Salicylate stuff:
Salicylates are chemicals found naturally in some plants, stored in the bark, leaves, roots, skin and seeds, where they protect the plants against insect damage and disease. In the human body, salicylate has been shown to have an effect on certain neuron receptors, to suppress some enzymes including the enzyme phenol sulfotransferase (PST), to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, etc.
Most people have no problem with salicylate-containing foods or salicylate-containing drugs except at high doses, but some people can be extremely sensitive to these chemicals.

I purchased The Salicylate Handbook here:

I heard Karen DeFelice speak over a year ago... I have her book "Enzymes for Digestive Health and Nutrional Wealth." and immediately put it down. Too Much Information. I need to pick it up again. I know it is full of great information!
Her web site is very helpful:

I wish I had a doctor (or some V.I.P) holding my hand and telling me exactly what I need to do. Sorry. But I do.
