I agree with you after researching for many years. until i get metals chelated the candida will stay. I don't remember my sources now but it appears that candida overgrows to protect the nerves form the heavy metals with a catch 22 that candida also destroys the nerves. The metals also weakens the immune system which allows candida overgrowth... I have chelated out the mercury and now have high lead and gadolinium yet to go. I am septic with candida now even though i eat very healthy... it is a battle but one I am going to continue to fight
