I hope you do not have cancer...that's scary about the mercury, though I think I am in the same boat, as I had some fillings, and I believe there was many things with mercury around my dad's old farm I used to play with.

Before I get kicked off here for good for being "unsupportive", let me tell how another example of how crazy this board can be. Sixteen months ago I gave birth. Had taken Antibiotics all through pregnancy, and many months before, which caused my yeast overgrowth. The baby did contract my Candida going through the birth canal and being born. In this case, babies do not yet have the amounts of beneficial bacteria to fight off Candida overgrowth. She had oral thrush, diaper area thrush, constipation, gas, hard green stool, explosive bowel movements, rashes, eczema, peeling skin, etc.

Me and baby saw homeopath together. I posted about her and myself here when baby was about 6 months old hoping for some feedback. It was suggested that I take her off of breast milk (one of the healthiest things known to man, filled with probiotics naturally, and boosts immunity). I was told I should put her on formula instead (chemically loaded modified cow's milk crapola...how will that help?) I was told to put her on rice milk instead (extremely dangerous for an infant under 12 months old) I was told to feed her baking soda in a bottle to alkalize her body. I was told that she needed to be put on a Candida diet. I was kind of appalled at what I read. I decided I would not put an infant on the Candida diet. She would not be drinking baking soda. She remained breastfed (breastmilk naturally is LOADED with sugars as well as the probiotics), she received fruits and starchy vegetables like other babies her age, but I did add yogurt into her diet, used probiotics and she was on Nystatin for a little while. My crazy homeopath had one valid point. My daughter didn't have the stress that I do, therefore she was able to rid of the Candida overgrowth much easier and quicker than me who has more stress. My daughter has NO signs of Candida anymore and I didn't have to do anything drastic.

Thats what its all about eh blackhole, taking tid bits of all that give information and see how it effects you. And sometimes that can come up trumps when it comes to your health. I go with alot of how shroom thinks.

But alot dont like that i have a conflicting view on things but if we didnt have people doing that some would be ill like myself forever. I was diagnosed candida 4 times and did the diet strictly for ages until i seen other info.
