I would talk to the prescribing physician. He/she may want to

continue at a lower dose rather than stopping completely.

I believe that the reactions are more from yeast toxins than from

released mercury.

Yes, NAC is N-acetyl-cysteine.

If you have reactions to high sulfur foods then NAC will be

problematic. If you are low sulfur, then NAC is ok.

There are other ways to support the liver. Milk thistle, lecithin,

glycine, glutamine, lots of antioxidants, extra virgin olive oil,

lemon juice, cod liver oil, flax oil, lots of magnesium and other

minerals, to name a few.

To some extent.

In the links section, in the member posts file, there is a link to a

post from about how he was able to control yeast. Andy's

Neutrophils, DMSA and yeast file is in the files section

While chelating I have been fighting yeast with garlic, cocnut oil,

goldenseal and aloe vera juice.Garlic is high sulfur!  Diet, Tanalbit and

probiotics should in most cases do the job considering dysbiosis. 

One pill a day was ok, then two pills a day was ok for 3-4 days but

then I ended up feeling really bad; more fategued, muscles burning,

tired etc.This is a common die off reaction. The die off symptoms usually go

away after a few days, but one time I had die off symptoms for over two weeks.

But after 14-17 days If felt really great.     

My doctor said that this reaction is likely to be caused by the fact

hat my body (-> liver) is not able to clear out the toxins fast

enough.

To help with this he wants med to take NAC. Does this make sense ?

Isn't NAC high sulfur ?Yup it is high sulfur

If this is caused by reduced detox capasity in my liver, what can I

do to improve this (except chelate...) ?Milk thistel, castor oil packs, DMG or

TMG (betaine), taurine, glycine, lecithin

I guess I have proven to myself that DMSA aggrevates the yeast. Will

ALA do this as well ?To some extent yes

Did you use Nystation when you got the die-off symtoms ? If so, did

you continue using it in the 14-17 day periode ?

I have been taking garlic for quite some time. I have stopepd for

periodes but havn't experiences any difference.
