Let's correct this assertion. Some people like Shelley (www.askshelley.com) have got rid of candida WITHOUT taking Amalgams out and WITHOUT any chelation.
So , one CAN get rid of candida without chelation. However this is not the path I would recommend as these past 5 weeks of chelation have proven beneficial.
Now chelation therapy is not a ballad in the countryside. As far as treatment is concerned it is more like high peak moutain climbing - if you know what I mean - not for beginners. Well, I 'd highly recomend chelation therapy AFTER a thorough kidney cleanse, a liver cleanse, a Bowel Cleanse and a mercury-leaking Amalgam removal. Like for climbing, where you'd need loads of training, your metabolism needs to be top shape to better chelate heavy metals.
