I had very bad Depression and pretty much lost my desire for everything. I didn't want to live anymore. I didn't clean my house, pay bills, do laundry and I didn't want to be around anybody...nothing was fun anymore. I got all my Amalgam removed a year ago but nothing changed. I got diagnosed with Candida and have been on the diet very strictly for 2 months now. The first symptoms to go away were fatigue and depression...only a couple days into the diet and I was a new person. I've accomplished more in last 2 months then I had for the past 2 1/2 years. However, if I expose myself to too many chemicals or if I eat something I shouldn't the symptoms come back...including depression.
