Part of the problem is that the medical industry does not believe in Candida. I've had at least 20 doctors in the last 10 years, only 1 believed that Candida existed. If they knew about you, they'd call you a quack. They are incorrect of course, but how do you expect there to be a study on mercury and Candida when Candida is only now being recognized as a condition and the AMA/ADA/FDA is trying to sweep the mercury issue under the rug?


-----


Dr. J. Trowbridge has written in his book “The Yeast Syndrome,” that some doctors specializing in candida treatment have reported to him that they have discovered clinically that 98% of their patients with chronic candida also had mercury toxicity.

“At Michael Biamonte’s health clinic, testing the mercury levels in his patients with various illnesses. Michael found that 84% of his patients with candida had elevated mercury levels, and that they were 60% higher than normal. The exact same numbers held for patients with parasites. 86% of patients with Epstein Barr Virus had mercury levels elevated by 68%. For those with chemical sensitivities 85% were 70% elevated and with chronic urinary tract infections 82% were 68% elevated. Most other conditions were much lower.”

Also, you are correct, you can (mostly) get rid of Candida without removing the mercury problem. I know this because I did it myself. I removed the Candida symptoms for 10 years with nilstat (although it didn't solve the root of the problem). In the last 2 years I've permanently beaten Candida with diet and other protocols (increasing immune system and health).

Basically anything that increases health, your intestinal flora, and the immune system will resolve Candida eventually. Does that mean that you eliminated the entire Candida problem? No. An iridologist will still be able to see Candida in your body, however slight, at least until you remove the mercury fillings or other heavy metal challenges. I've had 3 iridologosts (with over 100 years of combined experience) tell me the same thing. One of them I never even mentioned I had Candida.

Also, after reading hundreds of testimonials like this one, although not "scientific", helped convince me of the truth as well.

That lady experienced Candida and yeast infections, all because of her fillings. The problem resolved itself when the dental work resolved itself and she followed the Cutler protocol for chelation.

>>You state, "the Candida are there to protect our body

>>demonstrates this?


"Mercury amalgams have set us up for most of the health problems we see today. Toxic metals interfere with the normal energy patterns in acupuncture channels, setting up interference patterns in the meridians. The body, in trying to protect itself against mercury, creates a problem of yeast infection."


Also, there is the problem of misdiagnosing Candida with mercury poisoning.

Anyway, I'm sure you are getting results and if you continue to do so, then great, I'm sure there are tonnes of people who could use your help. I just feel like the mercury issue should not be ignored.

Thanks for your response.

I find it so utterly utterly hard to believe, mostly because the eye floaters LOOK LIKE candida. So, knowing I have a candida condition I just have to assume it is. I mean, it's me who has to stare at this stuff inside my eyes all day, not the doctors. Could modern medicine be missing something here!? I just looks SO MUCH like candida and responds to anti fungals.

Anyway...

I'm at my whits end, so have decided to have my amalgam fillings removed (I only have 2 small ones), and then I'll start chelating. Because basically the anti fungals are just making things worse.
