Hi Bann, thanks for the link and I checked it out and it's certainly a surprise. Though I'm aware of the problems created by mobilisation of mercury without proper tight bonding/chelation/removal, I had no idea there was any danger in possibly getting (reversible) cataracts.

They are also not just referring to MSM, but any high sulfur food/supplement, garlic, onions, eggs, etc etc. It's just sulfur bounces mercury around more and I guess the mercury can get into the eyes perhaps and cause problems. I have had this myself I believe, but luckily never got anything like that.

Sulfur is fine, healthy stuff, but mercury is the problem. I guess it makes Cutler's protocol even more appealing when you hear stuff like this. However, again, some do wonderfully on sulfur and do not experience the massive symptoms associated with wild mobilising of mercury. I'd say it will come down to the person's own reaction as to whether they can handle high sulfur intake or they need to reduce it substantially in order to control symptoms.

Even Andy I think said something about how there can be a lot of mercury present, but the body can do it's best to store it in the best places possible. however, it has been noted that you can give such a person a potent sulfur food/supplement and they can become suddenly acutely poisoned, due to the sudden wild bouncing around of that once more safely stored mercury, which can then enter sensitive areas and REALLY make them ill.

So it's again, highly individual as to how one will respond. Personally I do not see much point in taking unnecessary risks and overdoing the sulfur regardless. But if you try a bit and you feel fine or even better, then you maybe ok to increase. People like myself had to watch the sulfur and I reduced it when I was very toxic because I got so horribly ill from moving mercury around after I had high sulfur foods/supplements. Nasty reactions. Not that I felt ok anyway, but there was no doubt about the dramatic increase in symptoms after consuming sulfur foods/supplements. I would literally go into a terrible state of detox symptoms and cry and salivate and the rest of it. Then the reaction would die down after much agony. I am certain a bit of metals came out in that process, but I believe it was very risky to me and I do not know whether damage was done at the time either.

Bottom line is, you know yourself better than anybody and my big mistake was doing something because I was TOLD it was right and I tried very hard to keep going, regardless of the horrific symptoms I had. Everytime I stopped because I had to, I felt a failure. Now I look back and then you can only handle as much mercury movement as you can handle and you maybe taking small doses and lots of breaks. There is no one hard fast rule for this and never ever push yourself to continue when you are in a serious way. I cannot imagine what i may have done to myself because of this. I just wanted to please other people by saying I stuck to the regime, I stuck to the dose etc. In hindsight, I should have adapted the dose to my own needs and taken the breaks when I needed to, NOT what OTHERS wanted me to do regardless of my agony.

I had some professionals push me to continue and even insulted me when I could not keep going and had to keep stopping. They would then make out the problems were in my own mind, and it was MY issues, not the mercury. Simpy because I had too many problems sticking to their protocol.

Cutler's was without a doubt, the best and safest I could manage.
