Mercury detoxing in your body

I was reading "The UltraMind Solution" last night. Mark Hyman said that some people have better genes to detox the mercury and other toxins that are in there body, he tested himself when he had issues with mercury and found he didn't have the gene or genes necessary for mercury detox. This is the reason some people have issues with mercury in their body and others don't.

Genes that influence Brain function(in Mark's book)

MTHFR- controls methylation
E4 -carries cholesterol and heavy metals
GSTM-helps your body detoxify and produce glutathione
CETP- transports cholesterol away from arteries
COMT- metabolizes neuro transmitters and hormaone through methylation
SOD-2- powerful intra-cellular antioxidant
