It's at odds with what will happen under physiological conditions.

B12 won't methylate mercury at the concentrations that are found in

the human body. Huggins misinterpreted the research literature.

The amount of B12 a person should supplement is an individual thing.

The best thing to do is to start with low oral doses and increase

gradually. Some people do have trouble with large doses, but it

doesn't have to do with methylating mercury.

TK--- some people will have reactions to different supplements because

of their unique chemical make up and the diffenent things they put in

with the supplements, fillers etc.
