This is from "Eating Alive" by Dr John Matsen.

"Some of the sulphur-carrying enzymes that are inhibited by mercury are xanthine oxidase and depeptyl peptidase--which play a key role in digestion of the casein of milk products and an enzyme that digests gluten in grains."

The casein and gluten get impacted in our colon, feed candida and hinder efficient elimination so the mercury just sits there and gets recycled back into the blood stream. That is why it is important to clean up the diet, cleanse the colon from candida and heal leaky gut before attempting the metal detox.
