> Would NAC be contraindicated in someone who currently has amalgam fillings?
Probably not, because it does not provide the power to chelate metals out of amalgams. A drug like DMSA has the power to actually leach mercury out of amalgams and that is not good.
It will however loosen up the mercury in storage, and bind some of the mercury freshly absorbed still circulating. If someone has amalgams and takes NAC, it would probably be wise to take other things to further bind the mercury all the way to excretion. I'm thinking things like chlorella, bentonite clay, activated charcoal. Any should be taken between meals.
By far though the only reasonable option is to get amalgams removed asap.
