Yes. They are connected. My yeast symptoms have improved considerably since I began chelating.

Some people experience candida growth while others don't (me). I eat primarily salmon once a day as my last meal and have yet to experience my symptoms to get worst.

It could be the protein in the tuna doing it.

Yes mercury from seafood and Amalgam fillings is connected to candida overgrowth. Have you tried flushing the mercury from your tissues now that the Amalgam filling is out of your mouth? That's important because mercury gets lodged in your tissues, digestive tract, brain, etc, and stays there, undermining your health even if fillings have been removed and you stop eating all seafood contaminated with mercury. Lots of info on curezone about mercury detox protocols/products (DMSA, DMPS, etc). The mercury forum has a lot of info as does the candida one. Dr Jeff who has a forum on this site posts info as well.

Hi, I am currently chelating with alginates and will be starting on ala, and before that I was chelating with clay baths although I don;t think they did a lot.
Thanks for your reply :)
