Andy and others,
Can anyone make any comments on any accuracies or inaccuracies of the statements made below?

Detoxifying Agents for the Brain
1.. VitaminC: metals are usually locked into the brain cells, after they have been oxidized (= loose their electron(s) of the outer orbits) by the intracellular enzyme catalase. In this form they are firmly bound to proteins or peptides. Vitamin C delivers free electrons to the intracellular environment. Metal ions become reduced and return to their metallic form. For example mercury returns from it's Hg + or Hg ++ back to Hg0. In this form mercury becomes a gas at body temperature and crosses cell membranes and tissues with no problem. It can therefore leave the cell and get in contact with extracellular proteins, where it looses it's electrons again. From here it is easier for the body to eliminate Hg by using the sulphhydryl-group containing aminoacids , peptides or proteins (such as glutathion or cysteine) or by using porphyrin-compounds. Hg can be exchanged in the mucous membrane of the gut into vegetable fiber residues inside the fecal matter etc. Intravenous Vit C is far superior to oral Vit.C in accomplishing this task.
2.. DL-Methionine: has been shown to increase the fecal mercury and lead excretion through sulphur binding of these metals. It appears to act intra-as well as extracellularly.
3.. Chlorella pyreneidosa: the cell wall of this algae binds all toxic metals very strongly and is used to eliminate Hg and other metals from the blood circulating through the bowl wall.
4.. Cilantro (Chinese parsley): has been shown to displace Hg, lead and aluminum from the cell wall (metals are attached here as ligands on receptor sites, that usually are reserved for calcium, other essential minerals and hormones. Hg has a preference for the estrogen receptor. Cilantro competes with this mechanism.)
5.. Garlic and Bear-Garlic: protect the red cells and other cellular structures in the circulation from oxidative damage that metals cause on their way out. Bear garlic is often better tolerated and as effective (with less odor).
6.. DMSA (Chemet): a complexing oral agent for lead and mercury with some intracellular activity.
7.. DMPS: a complexing oral and injectable agent for lead and mercury (also arsenic, cadmium and other metals). Has only activity in the extracellular space (ground system), most effective in detoxifying the kidneys.
8.. There are many compounds I do not recommend: homeopathic mercury, N-acetyl cysteine, saunas, vegetarian diets, fasting and excessive sports - all of these have been shown to potentially drag mercury into the brain cells rather than away from the intracellular environment. EDTA forms potentially toxic complexes with Hg which are hard to eliminate. Zinc potentiates the lethal effects of Hg.
9.. Metals can also be mobilized by applying electric fields to the brain (Electro-Bloc) and by the use of targeted psychotherapy (APN)
10.. D-penicillamine: a derivative of the amino-acid valine, also acts through sulphhydryl binding. Very effective late in the detox to reduce intracellular Hg burdon.
