Re: Or does the body activate Candida to protect from Mercury?

I know from experience that this is the ultimate cause of my candida overgrowth(and other parasites). When I had mercury in my mouth, the candida was UNBEARABLE. My body temp was low, my hypothyroidism was bad, diabetes control out of wack. I had a compulsive need to chew gum(sugarless) all the time. When I had my mercury out, within days my body temp rose to normal, my thyoid started putting out, my bg control returned. But, unfortunatley, the candida hangs on. Not nearly as bad though. When I used to take a probiotic, I could just tell they were hitching a ride. After I chelated 8 times with IV edta, they now seem to make their presence known. Actually, now everything does what the bottle says it will do. I tried many supplements and such, but nothing seemed to do right, now it does what it says. I noticed when I would take an oral chelating agent such as cilantro or dmsa, that thrush/ candida would get worse. But when I used the Metal Magnet suppl, I never had any problems. My doc warned me about getting rid of all the yeast b/c it is probably there(my body is allowing it) for a reason. Since then I don't do nearly as much. I try to use products that kill parasites and bacteria as well as fungus, so I don't accidently set something free. But I believe there to be truth to the mercury/candida statement. I just went for the chelation b/c at that point, being dead wouldn't have been so bad. HTH Tweet
