problems with thiols/sulfur - methylation protocol by dr rich van k?

hi,

i am new to this forum. i am no native speaker. i try my best to explain my situation. hope you can give me advice.

i have very severe me/cfs. i know now it comes from an extremely strong mercury toxicity.
i removed my amalgam fillings 4,5 years ago. then i detoxed with dmsa.
the beginning was good. but i could only tolerate dmsa for a short time. then it turned and my body started to detox mercury by itselfs like crazy. i got very strong liver problem. my liver was not able to excrete the mercury which was mobilized so strong by my body´s own detoxification. i got a big toxin accumulation.

the second problem i got, was problems with thiol foods and thiol supplements. i can not tolerate any supplements with thiols ( free sh groups) and by time my sensitivity to thiol foods got worse and worser. now i have extrem symptoms if i only eat a little thiol food. i have no problems with elementary sulfur like in meat/fish.

i read a post in the cutler forum. there was a person who also had alike problems and did the simplified methylation protocol by rich van konynenburg.

do you think i should start the protocol? i am scared it could detox more. and my liver is not able to excrete the toxins.

otherwise i think i have those serious problems with the sulfur. maybe my transsulfuration isn´t working well.
maybe doing the methylation protocol, could help my liver to detox better?
would this protocol adress my problems with sulfur?

are there other supplements i could try to get my sulfur problems better?

kind regards,
cinnamon

Hi cinnamon. Personally, I did not get results from rich Vank's SMP. However, I've had Fantastic results from Freddd's protocol, which differs in several aspects. I've been using chanca piedra, a herb known as "breakstone" for my liver. I started using it when I got sever gall bladder pains, and have continued it since, with good results. When I was in a major detox a couple months ago, I self-tested for more of the herb, and it helped me through.

Re thiols, I'm also on low thiol diet. And Freddd's recent comments about using low dose B vitamins, instead of the high dosages I'd been on, have significantly reduced my sulfur, as B vits are high sulfur. Sterling Hill, at mthfrsupport.com, was where I first learned of supps to balance sulfur. Lysine and yucca are advised. I started yucca tincture, as I'm on GAPS diet and avoiding starch, which the powdered form of yucca is. It tastes pretty nasty. Then I discovered amino acid ornithine, which does the same and has no taste. bye bye yucca!. I'm also using Amy Yasko's CBS RNA drops. they're v expensive ($85/ small bottle), and I've been able to reduce my drops, especially after I lowered my B vitamins. If I can keep the dose down to 4 drops a day, it'll last twice as long as my first bottles. My hope is that as healing continues, I'll be able to quit the Yasko RNA drops. Best to you, ahmo

And here's a short version and a long version of his protocol:

hi ahmo,

chance piedra sounds really interesting. i don´t know if i have stones in my gall bladder. but it is worth trying.

that is really interesting what you write about high dosages B vits. i don´t take it for years, because every time i it took a capsule B50 complex. i got nausea and headache,

l tried lysine and ornithine . it did not help me. i took high dose ornithine, because i thought i had problems with ammonia. that was after amalgam removal. but it got better by itselfs.

so i will try yucca. the CBS RNA drops are to expensive unfortunately.

thank you for the the links mthfrsupport.com
and Freddd protocol.
i will study this.

best to you too.

kind regards
