Hi.. Thanks for the info. Yes, I have candida issues too, but I think they are secondary to mercury. I also have cervical lymph node swelling. I had some of my fillings recently removed by a holistic dentist and he used some special things - such as a rubber dam, vaccum system etc.. but I had several root canals & old fillings removed in the past by a regular dentist. I will be looking into this "huggins protocol." The only test I used was a regular heavy metal screening test.. unsure how it exacly works... but it matched the color for moderate mercury levels. I guess I really need to have hair testing and find a naturopath.
