Dallas,

I don't know the direct answer to your question but here is some info you may find useful.

- Mercury blocks the utilization of magnesium so mercury toxic people need a lot more (but you already knew that).

- Mercury blocks the methylation of B-12. Methylated B-12 utilizes homocysteine and is a precursor to glutathione production. Because of this, (1) homocysteine levels rise causing heart disease and the myriad of other issues well-known and commonly-associated with elevated homocysteine, and (2) your ability to rid yourself of mercury is hindered because that (mercury detox) is a primary function of glutathione. It's like a bad positive-feedback cycle with bad side effects.

- Lymes recovery is hindered by various heavy metals and vaccine additives which may be why Lymes recovery is enhanced by B-12. CoQ10 can help reduce fatigue.

Favorable Therapeutic Results with TOA-Free Cat?s Claw in Lyme Disease

A pilot study treated 28 patients with Advanced Chronic Lyme Disease with TOA-Free Uncaria tomentosa. Conventional cat?s claw contains TOA alkaloids that interfere with the desired immune modulation. The 14 person control group was given antibiotic therapy. At the study?s termination 85% of those receiving the cat?s claw preparation no longer had positive blood tests for Bb. All 28 persons had experienced a dramatic improvement in their clinical condition. No significant changes were seen in the control group.
