So we slowly chelated out his mercury and lead; fixed his gut; improved his diet; removed the sugar and dairy from his diet; boosted weak metabolic pathways with B12, folate, and B6; calmed his nervous system with magnesium; and used zinc32 to help him digest his food and activate enzymes called metallothionein that naturally eliminate mercury and lead.

This was particularly comforting in the context of the fact that the subsequently solved NMR structure of metallothionein was completely different from an independently solved metallothionein crystal structure
