PattyAnn,

In case it helps, I had dramatic issues with candida that progressively became worse. I finally ended up with chronic rashes under my arms, terrible itching, digestive issues, and additional trouble sleeping (I already had trouble for other reasons).

When my amalgams were removed in July of 2000, the rashes, itching and other symptoms were gone in 24 hours, never to return no matter what I ate.

In case you have not seen it, here is a link to my story that gives more details:

Also, here is a link to a growing collection of stories that may help as well:

Hope this helps.

By the way, since you're doing EDTA, I assume that you currently have no amalgam filligs, right?

All the best.
