Hi Mary,
In food you usually get a mix of Cysteine, Cystine and Methionine along with other amino acids. The preferred forms of taking the sulphur containing amino acids are Cystine and Methionine because as I understand it, they survive the digestive process better than Cysteine which easily breakes down.
That does not mean that taking Methionine in pill form is a good idea. For one thing it cannot be mixed with FO and make it water soluble. It probably is as good as companion nutrients, but I am not in favor of them either. Neither did Dr.Budwig mention them (in her 1999 book) when she was asked by a professor for alternatives to CC. From that I conclude that she was not in favor of them. If someone knows different, I would appreciate hearing about it, and being pointed to a place where she said they are ok to use as part of her diet.
Therefore, seeing how concerned you are (your other post today) I would try to stick to the real thing for now, even if it meant to postpone travel.
Wilhelm

Wilhelm,
In view of the below, would amino acid Methionine be all right to take in
an emergency?
Another thing in web site www.cancure.org/budwig_diet.htm it states "
For those who can't eat dairy products, you can substitute "Companion
Nutrients" available through Nature's Distributors in Arizona,
1-800-624-7114. These are capsules containing dried sulfurated proteins and
enzymes which activate the essential fatty acids. They guarantee that one
capsule will activate one Tbsp. of oil.
Don't think I have seen anyone mention if they take this while traveling,
etc., when they can't get the cottage cheese?
Thanks, Mary H.
