I have noticed that many of the new members are having a lot of trouble post amalgam removal and alot of it could be diet related. The only way I knew that mercury was making me sick was because I had severe candida for 3 years and that lead me to the mercury/yeast connection.

I think that before starting any formal chelation, we should reduce the candida numbers, otherwise the chelated mercury will gravitate to the yeast spores and hide in there instead of being eliminated. Our bodies actually produce yeast to buffer us from the toxic effects of metals.

Yeast and sugar also turn the mercury into methylated mercury which is a hundred times more toxic than other forms of mercury.

I am in this position right now.... I was backsliding on my diet and have to get back at it more seriously before I start the DMSA again.

Wish me luck getting back on the diet wagon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
