Cysteine and Mercury Amalgam Fillings
One of the major problems associated with the old mercury amalgam tooth fillings is the slow release of mercury into the system. Mercury is not easily released by the body and tends to accumulate in the tissues and lead to serious human toxification over a period of time. It has been found that cysteine is able to bind to mercury and help to remove it from the body.
The reason for this is the -SH or thiol functional group that attaches to heavy metals due to the strong affinity of metal ions for the sulfur in the thiol. This forms a stable metal complex so that the metal ion can be safely removed from the body. A cysteine supplement can therefore be used by those with old mercury amalgam fillings to prevent their toxic effects that, although they do not appear immediately, do so over time and can accelerate the older the fillings become.
Many people still have old amalgam fillings in their mouth, although those that have regular dental treatment have generally had them replaced. If not, then an alpha-cysteine supplement will help to prevent the slowly accumulating toxifying effect as the mercury is released into the body. Cysteine can also help the liver product glutathione which is a strong antioxidant for the body.
Detox the body with N-Acetyl cysteine. Look for cysteine at your local or internet vitamin store in tablet, capsule, and bulk powder forms. Remember to always choose name brands like Solaray, Now Foods and Source Naturals to ensure quality and purity of the cysteine amino acid supplement you buy.
