Lead and mercury. Since I started the candida diet i've lost alot of weight, down to 138lbs already. I try taking in flax and coconut oil but never seem to put on weight. Eat buckwheat pancakes with green veg and chicken pieces. I think without my beloved chicken in my diet I would be stuffed. Beef seems to effect my leaky gut which I'm trying to treat now. My candida killing just doesn't seem to be doing anything. I often rotate my anti-fungals as much as possible, but I just feel that until these two metals are released from the body my immune system may never be able to sort out the problems I have. I know that candida often will stay firmly in place until the offending metal(s) are chelated. I'm just wondering whether I should chelate with a leaky gut or not. It's pain in the arse.
