I once heard Pangborn and Smith say that cysteine forms one of the strongest
bonds with mercury, but that the mercury goes where ever the cysteine goes?
They say this because they don't know that when you set up equilibriun
equations they come out with things to different powers depending on the
stoichiometry of the reaction in question so that direct comparison of the
numerical value of the equilibrium constant is not meaningful.
Since your body contains hundreds of grams of cysteine naturally this would
mean that mercury would never come out of your body, but it does in a few
months on its own - your brain is the problem and that is due to the
blood-brain barrier, not to cysteine binding.
Does anyone on this list know Pangborn.
No, but I think he consults for Great Smokies presently and if you called
them up they might put you in touch with him.
I would love to have him further explain this comment.
He discussed the values of the relevant equilibrium constants in his "detox"
book that is available to licensed health care practitioners through Doctor's
Data, but didn't show any relevant formulae which is why I said what I did
above.
