b12 supplemention for mercury toxic people

[Guest guest]

I found out that i have a b12 deficiency and need supplementation. I

read in Huggins book that mercury toxic people should not get b12

because it will methylate inorganic HG into organic HG which is 100

times more toxic. What does Cutler think about B12 for mercury toxic

people? Do you think it could be harmful? What is the best way of

supplementation for mercury toxic people?

Huggins is wrong. B12 doesn't methylate mercury.

He says to start with low doses (oral and sublingual) and increase

gradually to see how much a person can tolerate. Different people

have different thresholds of tolerance. I don't recall him saying why

(except that it is not about methylating mercury).

In 'Amalgam Illness' B12 is on the list of supplements that a person

should try, and on the list of liver support supplements.

There are many people who do not absorb B12 well and need to supplement.

It can be supplemented orally, sublingually, or by injection. The

important thing is to determine the dose by increasing gradually.

There is some controversy about which is the best form to supplement.

If you use onibasu.com and search the autism mercury archives you will

be able to find posts from Andy on the topic.

At an early part of his recovery, it made my son fly into a rage.

The SOurce Naturals cherry sublinguals are good, 1 mg. You can start

with one and titrate up, see how you feel.

I'm using nasal spray B12 at the moment, which is quite high dose. I

can't really tell any difference, but I tend to be insensitive to

almost everything.

Hi, I had adverse reactions to B12 injections. My body turned so stiff

I could hardly walk for several years (still I continued). My

interpretation of this is that the B12 made Hg loosen and wander in the

body without me being able to get it out. Now, after 5 months with dmsa

(7 times with 12,5 mg, 6 times 16,6 mg, 1 with 20 mg) (with a months

break inbetween) I can finally walk normally. My body is no longer

stiff, I have got the Hg out of the body. I still take B12 injections

(5 mg twice a week) and will continue with it. My idea is that it heals

the central nervous system. I am now on the first round of ALA/dmsa and

my energy is boosting.
