Hi Missy, yep, I too have hard it helps speed up liver pathway II also. Problem with this is. You might get helped in that way, and harmed in another as both cysteine and methionine simply mobilise mercury, they do not chelate it. mercury can be moved anywhere and most often into worse areas because there is no control over where it goes.

Some might do ok as you said, but some of us get into deep trouble by doing it. And for myself? I am fast phase I and slow phase II, so I should do ok, yet it's dangerous to me to use anything like that (including garlic supplements).

I still cannot recover from a garlic supplement I used a long long time ago. IT's done that much damage to me.

Also, people with cavitations (jawbone infections) take a great risk in using cysteine and methionine and other sulfur compounds. I happen to have cavitations and maybe this is why I have such a problem. The anaerobic bacteria from cavitations desulferate the sulfur amino acids (like cysteine and methionine) and combine with mercury to form far more lethal toxic compounds which then do great damage to the body. They form Methyl mercapton and another toxic compound. Can be very dangerous.

I think this might be why I get such severe reactions from these things now, when I never used to have reactions like that to them before and I have had mercury toxicity for years. I did certainly have symptoms of mobilisation though, but not the terrible symptoms I get now from them. The damage for me is long term and possibly permanent.

Oddly enough, I do ok when eating sulfur foods, which naturally contain cysteine and methionine, so obviously its the supplements forms that do the most damage, due to their potency I guess.
