Don't take magnesium glycinate! I got some of that because it's one of the most easily absorbed forms of magnesium, and it gave me terrible migraines. I was stumped because magnesium is supposed to *help* migraines. It made sense though when I read that it's a form of magnesium that chelates mercury. http://www.coldcure.com/html/dep.html"Glycine (the second component of magnesium glycinate) chelates (removes) mercury from the body, and may be superior to even magnesium taurate for people with heavy metal poisoning in the short- or near-term. Citric acid and cysteine also remove mercury and appear safer for long term use than glycine. The first stability constants for glycine, cysteine and citric acid are in the log 10 to log 14 range, which are vastly stronger bindings than can be broken by any natural biology or chemistry event occurring in the body. Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, but for people with mercury poisoning, it, cysteine and citric acid may be highly important. Because of these amazing chelating, sequestering or binding powers, if they reacted with mercury in any form in the body, they should be able to bind them much more tightly, making mercury biologically unavailable in the body." More about the citric acid. There was a person on another board recently who was afraid she had gotten mercury poisoning from fish, and one of the problems she had was a strong reaction to citrus fruits. So I looked it up and found someone whose dentist told him citric acid reacts with mercury: http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9607b&L=allergy&P=1193http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9606d&L=allergy&P=1943
