It will also be increasing the sulfur inside your body, which is depleted/displaced by mercury. And apparently garlic does have some ability to mobilise mercury. Some may not tolerate it, but others can find it a great help. In fact, one biologic dentist here recommends garlic to his mercury detox patients to aid them in getting rid of mercury. he believes that the garlic actually does somethign to the mercury, changes it to allow it to become a more excretable form. I am unsure how true this is.

My doctor, who is also a specialist, recommends garlic to enhance sulfur stores to her mercury detox patients, before using a chelating agent, as she believes it helps enhance the chelation as well.

When I was mercury toxic, garlic was great for me with amalgams. However, it was too powerful for me when I had no amalgams, as my body was now in "detox mode" and garlic was too potent a mover of mercury for me to handle. It bounced it around too much, and my elimination systems were obviously not able to handle it.

If you feel good with garlic, it really maybe very beneficial for you with mercury for many reasons. I just cannot handle the stuff these days. I once could and it was great for yeast and caused die off too. Now it just makes me feel yuck and really doesn't seem to help me at all, no matter what I do.
