Re: Based on my circumstances, how long should it take until I'm cured?

The tests that medical doctors give are NOT accurate! You need a provocation test...or a hair test. A provocation test is when you are injected with a chelator like DMPS...and then your urine levels of metals are checked for a couple of hours afterwards. That way you can see the burden of metals in your tissues...and not in your blood. I assume they took a blood test for you? My MD did the same thing for me...b/c they have no clue how to diagnose metal poisoning. That is something only the alternative medicine field can help you with. I advise you to see someone that administers the provocation test...or maybe even hair test. Andy Cutler has a book out on how to interpret the hair test for metals. I really don't know how accurate the provocation test or hair test is...but I know that the blood test is not accurate at all.

You are just taking algin pills, without anything else? From what I understand algin is used to bind to metals in the intestinal tract. And you need to take a chelator along with the algin. I remember I would take algin 30 minutes before I would chelate...so that the metals are absorbed. When you chelated what did you chelate with?

Interesting you say that you might have gotten the toxic load from your mother. I sometimes feel the same way about myself.

Do you have any behavioral, learning or mental difficulties? Like ADHD, OCD, trouble concentrating, being aggressive, erratic. I know you said you have some suicidal thoughts and such but do you remember if you had any mental issues before the candida started when you were 13? I'm asking cuz I'm trying to make a connection between candida/metals/parasites/ food sensitivities and mental issues, and whether people who have mental issues are more prone to develop candida/metals/parasites/ food sensitivities . I myself have OCD and attention issues.

Also if you want to talk about this more in depth, message me. I been there man, I know how hard it must be when you're so young.
