I read somewhere that mercury will leave your body over a period of some months, but it takes 10-15 years for it to leave your brain.

for that specific reason, I eat a little bit of fresh cilantro (organic is great but use whatever you can find fresh at the local grocery mine in the fridge is not organic and is ok, wash it first) and then take an oral DMSA chelation formula, 2 or 3 tabs at the same time as the cilantro. Maybe a couple more if I wake up during the night. I do this on an empty stomach and it keeps my head feeling pretty clear, no headaches.

The headaches come right back if I stop so i do this almost every evening before bed. I don't generally take any chelators during the day because they can interfere with your body being able to absorb good nutrients. i think the selenium helps my head feel better too. and cod liver oil (mercury free).

If you are taking Vitamin C, highly recommended with DMSA, be sure to take it a good few hours ahead of the cilantro, used together they are too strong. learned that the hard way, severe night sweats when I do take them together by mistake now and then, but no other lasting side effects... got to wash the sheets and shower a lot hmmm.

B vitamis are good for the head, eggs are brain food too. soft boiled is real good for you, not hard boiled. Some whole wheat toast, some of that really yummy xylitol rasberry jam... just trying to make you hungry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
