SAM-e, methylation and mercury (oh my!)

[Guest guest]

Hi -

I was just reading thru the archives here, and I read

some cautions against the use of SAM-e for depression

and/or pain.

Apart from its ability to raise homocysteine levels

(which must be counteracted by taking some substance -

can't remember which :>), I'm wondering why people

with (suspected) mercury toxicity might have a problem

with SAM-e? This may have to do with methylation -

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with glutathione,

since SAM-e increases glutathione levels? In this

case it may be problematic in the way that whey is

problematic - " the storm before the calm " sort of thing.

Anybody know?
