. the body transforms methionine into cysteine, it's all part of

the sulfur pathway. See AI, p.36.

Not sure where you found that. Methionine and cysteine are two

different amino acids and I would not expect that methionine would

help people with low plasma cysteine.

Methionine has the sulfur somewhat protected because it is one spot

away from the end of the molecule. If Andy says that it makes some

people sick, it must be so, because he has had the most experience

listening to various people tell him what they have done, what has

made them feel better, what has made them feel worse.
