I am confused about MSM. I guess many health practitioners are also confused about msm when it comes to those with mercury toxicity. Some articles say the mercury inactivates sulphur, and those who are mercury toxic need so much more sulphur than the general population. Then there are comments about msm causing mercury to be moved around quite a bit within the body without being excreted. It is hard to know what to believe. Perhaps both statements are true, and that msm is still necessary even though it may have both positive and negative actions. There is only so much garlic, eggs, and broccoli one can eat. getting enough sulphur without taking msm might not be so easy. comparing msm to ALA then saying that msm is not a good chelator implies that it is a bad supplement and should not be taken. Those who are mercury toxic take msm for its general detoxification properties, and not to chelate mercury. I guess avoiding msm while chelating is a good idea though.
