i did so for a candida infection, and it worked well. i had some aching in my liver which was releived by vit E and selenium. it is hard on the kidneys as well, so drink plenty of water - distilled only. i also was taking Colloidal Gold for my mercury poisoning. i do not know of the effect, as i could not determine one. it just seemed like a good idea at the time. i have two more fillings to go out of ten!
