Linoleic acid is one of the constituents of flax oil. Sulfurated linoleic acid which results when flax oil is heated with elemental sulfur may have the following structure. The sulfur binds into the oil at the double bond linkages and makes the resulting compound more viscous and opaque. This increased viscosity allows Wondro to coat and persist in the intestinal lining where yeast proliferates. It has a preponderance of exposed sulfur atoms readily available to acetaldehyde emitted from the yeast. Acetaldehyde has a size, shape, and electrophilic nature similar to a heavy metal with the same toxic symptomatic profile. Once bound to the sulfur in Wondro, acetaldehyde is no longer able to interfere with other body structures or enzymatic processes, thus enabling the body's innate healing processes to function more efficiently.
