Taking B 12 in shots, intravenous solutions, or pill form, turns mercury into methyl mercury. Methyl mercury can be 100 times more damaging to the nervous system then other forms! Viamin B 12 from foods does not cause this havoc. Dr. Huggins says something like this in his book, "Detoxification."

I tend to believe him as I took a B 12 once after the mercury was removed and boy did I feel extremely toxic. Then from then on, I had foods and also natural herbs that had B 12 in them (not vitamin B 12 pills). I did not get this negative reaction and feelt much better.

When I had my amalgams in before, B 12 did not give me an adverse reaction as it did after removal. I'v'e read that its ok to take it in pill form before removal, but not after removal.

Even so though, it is never better to take synthetic vitamin B 12 pills, but instead only natural herbs and foods that contain B 12.
