Hi Bann,

No problem, better safe than sorry I guess. However, had that doctor put those people on low doses to start to check for adverse reaction due to their high toxicity of mercury, that may have been avoided. I have been that state myself and the urge to end ones life is almost overpowering because you're in such a state of torment from so much mercury being mobilised at once.

It truly is frightening and this is why one should be careful when taking anything that can do that with mercury.

Some people do refer to anything that mobilises mercury as being a "chelating agent", but a chelator is something that has two thiol groups that have a stronger grip on mercury. Most sulfur based supplements/foods only have one, so they can move the mercury but do not hold onto it strongly enough and mostly stir it up. I think if a person copes well on sulfur and their body can eliminate the mercury more efficiently once its been stirred up, they maybe ok. Others may not.

NAC is really good for the liver and Andy does recommend it if a person tolerates it and does well on it. But again, always start low and increase as tolerated. Mercury detox symptoms are usually unavoidable no matter how you try and detox it, but they should not be totally intolerable and lead to a case of a person becoming a danger to themselves. I did that to myself many times but taking anything and everything just to get the mercury moving, so hopefully some of it would come out. I did not really understand that I could have damaged myself in the process from bouncing the mercury around wildly.
