JK, I know how it is to feel worse when candida and parasites are dying. I've experienced it. This was not quite the same as the sulfur food reaction. Part of it may have been yes, but there is absolutely no denying the mercury symptoms. I know them well. And yes some people do get worse from high intake of sulfur supplements after the mercury has been mobilised more than their system could handle. I'm not denying die off, but when you've had mercury for many years and candida, you do get to become more familiar with yourself and the symptoms.

over time it resolves, but I'd always be careful when dealing with mercury and the movement of it and not overdo it too much, or you can really pay for it. I did a few times and sometimes went overboard in my passion to get well and remained sick for a long time following until things settled a bit more and that was usually with high sulfur. Chlorella did the same thing to me too.

Die off isn't pleasant, but it wasn't quite the same as mobilising the mercury too much. Yes I would manage to get some of the metals out of me over time doing this, but as I said it was a speedier, but slow and unpleasant. I don't think anything that moves mercury is going to be ideal or perfectly safe. But leaving it there isn't ideal either and I didn't want to stay that way, so I chose to move it, so hopefully some of it would come out.

In the end, I just found proper chelation and following the Cutler protocol appeared to keep it more even and tolerable and much more efficient and really got the stuff out. But even then, if I took DMSA the wrong way, it would send me into a fit of horrible symptoms. Yet taken correctly, it controlled them much more. DMSA taken the wrong way for me was much worse than consuming high sulfur foods admittedly. The high sulfur food reaction was bad and would increase my symptoms ALOT and make me feel absolutely revolting and I would increase the crying and salivating etc, but not quite the same as the DMSA, which would make me go absolutely crazy and often stay up all night. I mean so bad, it was psycho stuff.

So for me, as poisoned as I was and sensitive as I was, I had to find ways of getting the stuff out, without actually risking harm to myself and even others that were living with me. It was nasty feeling ill whilst detoxing, but it is far worse when the effects are mental and you can become highly aggressive and nasty and even threatening to others or to yourself.

Apparently two people committed suicide after their doctor put them on high dose cysteine or NAC (high in sulfur) because they were not warned about the increase in symptoms from the increase in mercury mobilisation. I have experienced this and been close to suicide because of it also. It really cannot be compared with just "die off". There is something about mercury that goes much further and can tip you over the edge when it's in motion and going all over the place.

Again though, some people thrive on high sulfur and need it. It is very individual and you simply have to work out where your tolerance is and how much you can take, because it is very healthy but if it's causing symptoms beyond tolerance, it is wise to cut back.
