In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.

Zinc is very important, especially for men. Some websites say that men need zinc in a 10:1 ratio to copper intake, while women only need it in a 5:1 ratio. I reviewed my diet today, and realized that I do get enough copper from food, but don't get enough zinc. Magnesium is important for those who are mercury toxic, as is getting enough sodium. Even though the typical American gets way too much salt, I realized that I need to make sure to salt my food enough, otherwise my sodium intake will be too low. http://www.arltma.com/CandidaDoc.htm Magnesium is very IMPORTANT to us Mercury Toxic, glad you said that there, I felt normal a few times when just taking enough of the Magnesium JK. Good post once again on minerals. Men need alot of Zinc too like you said, thats a must. Oh yeah to this here which you posted, I will quote it Excessive alkalinity of the digestive tract. An alkaline environment of the intestinal tract favors yeast growth. Which would mean Apple Cider Vinegar or Cayenne would help that? I am just saying, both will boost HCI IMO and help out with the excessive Alkaline environment of the intestinal track. I would think of taking those, which I do.

I suggest that you take magnesium and calcium separately. One article I read mentions that the traditional 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium supplementation is to high, and a one to one ratio makes more sense. Besides which, calcium and magnesium compete for absorption, so taking them at different meals seems to make sense. Most people are much more deficient in magnesium than calcium. Those who eat plenty of dairy products might not even need any supplemental calcium.
Zinc citrate is probably okay, but it seems like the most enthusiasm is for zinc picolinate. 25-30 mg a day seems like a reasonable dosage to supplement at. Too much zinc can interfere with the absorption of copper and iron, so it is not a good idea to overdo it. If someone takes zinc, copper, and iron, it is probably best to take each at a separate meal.
I have the Now magnesium citrate powder. I use it mostly when I am feeling very sick and need to load up on vitamin c. I find it easier to swallow tablets normally on a day to day basis than to measure and mix powder. I also don't like the taste of magnesium ascorbate. Besides which, my vitamin c tablets have bioflavonoids. I guess I should look for magnesium citrate tablets or capsules. My vitamin c tablets are with calcium. Having it with magnesium would be better(I still want the bioflavonoids though).

Magnesium and calcium should normally be taken together. They are necessary for each other's utilization. However, magnesium absorption in mercury toxic persons is severely blocked causing a rise in serum calcium. This is why high-blood calcium is used as an indicator of mercury toxicity. In short, most mercury toxic persons may want to supplement small amounts of calcium with large amounts of magnesium. Personally, I only got relief from tight muscles and constipation when I raised my magnesium intake to 2400mg per day. The effects of magnesium are also accumulative so you can taper off intake to lower levels after a day or two. Carbonated water, sugar, and caffeine also greatly increase the need for calcium and magnesium. Dairy products prohibit the excretion of mercury and should normally be avoided by mercury toxic persons. http://urlbam.com/ha/tz

"I only got relief from tight muscles and constipation when I raised my magnesium intake to 2400mg per day." Wow, that is a large dosage! Imo taking so much magnesium is not a good idea. There are articles on the net about the dangers of using epson salt(magnesium sulphate) as a laxative. Imo magnesium supplementation should probably be in the 200 mg-500 mg a day range, and should never be over 800 mg a day. As for taking calcium and magnesium together, some recommend that it is better not to do it. While they work together, it may not be best to take them together. A small amount of calcium taken with the magnesium probably won't hurt though. The 2:1 calcium to magnesium ratio that many supplements have does seem crazy though. "Because magnesium will bind to calcium absorption sites in the body, the two supplements cannot be taken together, so take calcium in the morning and magnesium at night. " http://www.adavic.org/education/health/htips_cole.htmhttp://www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/sc/0403/sc0403-expertadv.htmlI have not seen any sources that say that dairy foods inhibit mercury excretion. In fact I have seen sources advising dairy food be eaten by those who are mercury toxic. "Our treatment for Nervanne involved a radical change in her diet followed by the careful removal of her amalgam fillings (as well as her root-filled teeth). Proper diet is fundamental to clearing toxins, as well as to regaining the best of health. We advised Nervanne to eliminate tuna and other seafoods from her diet, but to incorporate a variety of meats, eggs and whole milk dairy products. The only seafood allowed is cod liver oil to provide vitamins A and D." http://www.westonaprice.org/envtoxins/mercury.html"You should consume foods high in Vitamin-C and supplement with 3 grams of C daily, beginning a week or so before silver-mercury fillings replacement and continuing for at least a month afterward. To minimize the potential for kidney stones, total calcium intake should be maintained within a narrow range (800 to 1,000 mg daily), magnesium intake should be increased to 500 mg per day and Vit-B6 should be increased to 30 mg per day. This amount of calcium and magnesium is ideally obtained from 3 servings of cultured dairy foods per day, but to obtain the desired dosage of Vit-B6 a supplement will be required. Additionally, since mega dose Vit-C may enhance the excretion of Zinc, a 15 mg supplement of chelated zinc per day is recommended." http://www.mgoldmandds.com/detox2.htmI guess since dairy foods are high in sulphur, those who recommend avoiding high sulpur foods will say that dairy products should be avoided, while those who see benefit in consuming more high sulphur foods would probably say that dairy foods should be added to assist in detoxification.

I have never noticed dairy foods as causing reactions related to "sulfur". I've not yet had a mobilising reaction from consuming them. The only ones I used to get reactions too when I had more "bodily mercury" , is onions, eggs, cabbage, garlic etc. But never dairy foods. If they are high in sulfur, how is it, I never had sulfur type reactions to them, even when I was had very strong reactions to any other sulfur containing foods?
The only issue with dairy products for me these days is candida. I am unable to consume milk/cream etc because they feed the candida quite well. I seem "ok" on acidophilus plain sugar free yoghurt and butter. The lactose content in butter is much lower and in the case of yoghurt, I gather it's in another form (galactose) and is easier I gather to digest. Butter is safer in cases of candida apparently because the content of lactose is much lower. Whereas with yoghurt its simply changed into another form and may still have potential to cause a few problems, though much less than milk/cream in my experience.
