But why doesn't anyone ever talk about the iodine-selenium combo for mercury detox. I have been on DMSA and all sorts of stuff but never has there been as much mercury liberated as with iodine. Also good old selenium added to Iodine appears to work very well and as a bonus it uses the intestine route vs. kidneys. The only caveat is the lack of available methionine and a possible need to supplement that with high levels of selenium intake.
