    B12 is a necessary nutrient for methylation.....without it the pathway is impaired and does not function normally. This pathway is necessary for the body to excrete toxins...including all heavy metals.

    The proper B12 supplementation can improve the function of the pathway (methylation cycle)......and this can help the body to eliminate toxins as well as fight off virus and bacteria.

    Chemistry certainly was not one of my favorite subjects :rolleyes: so can you, Rachel, please explain a few things for me?

    From what I understand having methyl mercury in your body is worse than having the other form, right? Wouldn't it be logical to say that mercury methylation should be avoided at all costs?

    This is where I get confused. From what I found out on the web, vitamins B and C methylate mercury, yet they are also sugested for mercury detox. How could that be? :unsure:

    but chlorella pills don't take mercury from the brain do they? and is there a way to stop inhaling the mercury? could i wrap tape around my teeth?

    No, chlorella does not take mercury from the brain, but at least some part of my body is going to get a little cleaner :D

    I am weary of all the stuff that is supposed to move the mercury out of organs and the brain, because they would sir up the mercury, and for quite a few people that would damage the brain even more. So for now I am taking the safest road.

    Do you really want to tape your teeth? :o

    coud other symptoms be like poor vision, depression and confusion? im wondering if that's my problem since i've had progressively worse symptoms as i age, middle school it was just bad anxiety, then as i went through high school i became a lot more confused about my surroundings, and very depressed since i was medicated alot. i was also given LOTS of fillings in my late middle school years, and have 6 mercury ones. im curious how much B12 a day do you take?

    Happy New Year everyone! :)

    Yes, poor vision, depression and confusion are often mentioned as symptoms of B12 deficiency as well as mercury poisoning.

    Since my doc told me to stop B12 injections, I started taking B12 pills daily (unfortunately without them I feel like halfway to Alzeimer diagnosis). Some say that B12 pills are not digested well, so it is better to get the shots or sprays or disolvable tablets, but regular B12 pills (1000 mcg in form of cyanocobalamin) so far have been working for me pretty well. I'll try to cut it down in half and I'll see if that will be enough for me. Various websites are urging to add selenium, Vitamins C, E, and folic acid, and B6 for mercury detox, so I take a selenium pill and "B vitamin complex+C" supplement, as well as "Omega 3-6-9" every day and Vitamin E and multivitamin every other day. I certainly don't want to overdo it, so perhaps I'll cut down on some of those in a little while.

    I also take Chlorella pills (they are supposed to clean the intestinal tract of mercury), since they are not supposed to stir up mercury, just take it out.

  4. I started looking into possible gluten sensitivity problem because of various head problems that began rapidly pile up on me since last spring. I have had consistently low RBC (Red Blood Cell Count) and high MCV (Mean corpuscular volume) for at least last 10 years. I have had bouts of low energy and foggy brain since about 14. Life really went down the hill since last spring. Extreme brain fog, heavy head, really slow, balance problems, sometimes numbness in various parts of my head. Bouts of extreme irritability and impatience.

    My doctor prescribed B12 injections every other week, because my B12 was rather low, although it did not seem to be out of range (361 pg/mL, when normal is considered 211-911). Nonetheless B12 helps enormously, just not long enough. My brain would clear up, my sense of balance and energy level would get better, my irritability would go away after every injection, but after about 5 to 7 days I would start sliding back to my old sickly state. And since my last blood test showed high B12 (around 800), my doctor told me to cut back the B12 injections to once a month.

    So I tried to research possible gluten sensitivity. The Enterolab testing shows high gluten antibodies, but the blood tests that my doctor ordered showed them really low

  5. Since I am HLA-DQ 1,1 (subtype 6,6) I thought I will post some of my symptoms.

    Started to have gray hair in high school. (just as my dad).

    Short stature and petit (just as my mom and my daughter).

    Restless leg syndome.

    Consistently low Red Blood Cell Count and high MCV most of my life.

    B12 rather low when I am not getting B12 shots, but does not seem to be out of range (361 pg/mL, when normal is considered 211-911). Nonetheless B12 helps enormously, just not long enough. Right now I am receiving injections every other week, but they seem to last for only 5-7 days (sometimes longer).

    Thyroid antibodies present for at least last 10 years and seem to be getting worse:

    Thyroglobulin AB: 4.2 U/mL in 1997, 56 IU/mL in 2006, 118 IU/mL in 2008. But it
