B12 methylating mercury / was: Re: Valentina & other methylation experts

[Guest guest]

There are some types of bacteria that methylate mercury. I don't

know in the case inside the human body. They are often employed in

toxic cleanups in creeks and such. I was wondering if that's why

there is bacteria in PCA-Rx?
