This study showed that supplementing selenium to methylmercury-poisoned rats lowered the mercury content in them by about 20-40%. It also restored the microbiome back to that of the control group.
So selenium supplementation might be helpful for people wanting to detox mercury (and possibly other heavy metals?) from vaccines from their body, since some vaccines contain mercury compounds.
Some foods like chocholate can also contain significant amoutns of heavy metals (Chocolate And Heavy Metals (Lead, Nickel, Cadmium, Etc.)), so taking selenium might be helpful , if you eat a lot of those foods. On the other hand selenium is richer in the soils of sout america ,where heavy metals are most prevalent as well, so there is some protection already.
I think Ray recommended high calcium intake as the best way to counteract heavy metals, so it looks like the healthy metals/minerals can replacte to heavy ones.
"This study suggests that MeHg poisoning damaged the abundance of gut flora and decreased their capacity for the decomposition of MeHg. After Se treatment, the abundance of gut flora was partially restored and the decomposition and excretion of MeHg was enhanced. These findings suggest that the modulation of gut flora may be one way to promote the health status in MeHg-poisoned rats and possibly in human beings."
