Garlic also acts as a natural painkiller, but most mercury sick people don't handle garlic well, as it redistributes mercury too easy in many people.. And btw, garlic adresses so many things at the same time that one has to know much about it to safely use it i guess...

However, I handle garlic (real & raw) very well and use it quite often to dampen and move painful stiffnesses around my body. I stirr up some mercury with it, and then let my body do the rest, namely the excretion part... Few people can handle this, i'm one of the lucky ones...

However, go with ginger i recon.... atleast try a small dose..

Cheers
