Thanks Sregan, really interesting to read this. I've heard some people can even get detox symptoms from replacing minerals too! Because mercury competes with them for binding sites. When the minerals are replaced, they can displace a bit of the mercury (so I hear). So can cause symptoms.

What I wanted to stress with this thread is that a new approach to mercury detox is under trials (so to speak). PHd Rich Van Konynenburg has been helping those folks similarly to what Andy Cutler is doing for the chelation people.

The premise is to simply restore normal glutathione levels which will detox mercury. The body will naturally detox heavy metals UNLESS of course the heavy metals are interfering with the detoxification processes in the body (which mercury does). Simply taking B12 and Folate might be enough to repair one's methylation and restart normal detox.

This might be a preferable option to those who are having a hard time with chelation or cannot remove the mercury from their teeth for whatever reason.
