Yes, I'm confused about it all as well. I guess the only thing anybody can do is try things at small doses and just watch for reactions and whether those reactions are tolerable or become frightening (which they can do so).

I would be careful though, there is plenty of sulfur from certain foods without adding too much extra from supplements. I have had horrific reactions to supplementary garlic at times. One of which put me in the emergency and the reaction by the way lasted 7 months. Whatever the garlic did, seemed to shunt toxins into my gut area. Which is obviously a weakness area for me. I was in the worst pain imaginable and used to spend many days crying and lying in bed holding my gut. It didn't take long before a rash came up on the skin around that very area, hot, itchy, pink (just like mercury rash)....and interestingly enough, I found after using very small doses of DMSA (cutler style) that the rash around that area started to get lower and lower down (as the toxins did) and eventually I was able to reverse the problem. I assumed at that time it shunted metals into the gut somehow because of the potency perhaps of the allicin/sulfur. I don't know exactly why or how, but I'm afraid now of garlic supplements. Yet I don't ever remember getting that from garlic food, raw or cooked....so it's a mystery to me. It happened twice by the way. All because I was stupid enough to try it again thinking that it could not possibly have been from garlic supplementation. I thought it was too weird. Once bitten, twice shy? I had to be bitten twice before I finally "got it".

With that by the way, I also had severe brain reactions too, not just the gut. Frightening stuff and had severe light sensitivity as well. It the strangest thing. I do not personally believe garlic supplements were to blame, I am certain there is something very wrong in me and all that seemed to occur following virus and wisdom tooth removal. So it made me wonder if it was to do with infections, rather than anything else, that may have done something to the gut area. I don't know. I do know that cavitations (jawbone holes) can produce potent bacteria and that bacteria can form extremely potent toxins when someone takes sulfur amino acids like methionine, cystein etc, expecially if there is still mercury there. Producing methyl mercapton instead apparently. Very odd, but there you go. That "may" have been what happened to me.

I also found, even before this, that garlic supplementation definitely increased the mercury symptoms and sometimes intolerably. It's definitely powerful stuff. It moved the mercury for sure (post amalgam removal). Yet oddly enough, I took it when I had amalgams and did great with it....so I cannot understand how. I guess because my body wasn't really in "detox" mode with mercury as much until after they were removed.

I just think sulfur foods/supplementation is just something a mercury toxic person is going to have to judge for themselves by their own responses. Again, it is too individual to be certain what's safe for everybody.
