I'm now more inclined to to think that my problems stem more from a copper toxicity problem than a mercury problem. I seem to react badly to zinc (increasing of symptoms) and yet the white spots on my finger nails indicate a zinc deficiency. There are many other symptoms I have that I have been able to relate to copper, mainly mental problems like bad mood swings, but other elmination symptoms like rashes. I think I'm really onto something here!

So in this case apparenlty I have to go easy on zinc and other copper antagonists like selenium and manganese. This all makes sense cause apparently taurine is real good for copper elimination and I have just started taking taurine with magnesium with excellent results! I also find that beer, which is high in copper, gives me a bad reaction the day after I have moderate amounts of it.

I wonder if algin binds with copper as well?
