That sounds like a plan I'm willing to follow. I think I will go hard on the metal detox while I mildly control the candida. I have a question. I have been chelating with the cutler protocol and occasional IV dmps for about six months now. I reduced my burned of metals by about 60 percent according to my recent provocation test results. I am thinking about stopping the cutler protocol and continue with the IV dmps to finish off the detox. However I understand that if I have the metals in my nervous system the cutler protocol is recommended because of the ALA. Most of my mental health problems are caused by the candida though. And I believe that if i get rid of the metal load and candida, that will go back to normal. I'm afraid that the metals have been localized in my brain and nervous system also. And like I said previously, the cutler protocol aggravates my yeast troubles, so I don't want to do it unnecessarily. Basically I'm asking if the cutler protocol is necessary to remove the metals from the nervous system, or would the DMPS be sufficient. I have done about 15 cutler cycles already.
