aussie2-ga,
From the information listed below, I show that reducing manganese from
your diet may help lower, over a long period of time, some of the
symptoms of Manganisim.
"Since Mn elimination from the central nervous system is very long..."
As stated at :http://www.bio.unipd.it/~zatta/metals/mangan.htm
It may take time for any reduction in the manganese levels in your
body to dissapate.

"Manganese toxicity questions answered"
The importance of monitoring daily manganese intake is essential in
reducing the risk of suffering dangerous effects. Since manganese is
contained in many supplements and medications, consumers should be
aware of how much manganese they are ingesting. The daily safe upper
limit of manganese is 11 mg and exceeding this amount for an extended
amount of time can cause neurologic effects, in addition to other
adverse effects.
Especially people with preexisting conditions, such as liver disease,
should be aware of their manganese intake. Lower levels of manganese
can make patients with liver disease more susceptible to suffering
from manganese toxicity. Any patients that question the amount of
manganese present in their diets should consult with a medical
professional. Exposure to manganese has been linked to speeding up the
onset of Parkinson's disease and is linked to cases of manganism,
manganese poisoning, and other serious conditions."
