Hi, yeah you could try eliminating those things, not just limiting. Not easy of course. But the cravings start to disappear after a while, it's just the initial battle that's hard to go through. But after the body has gotten them out of the system, it can help it concentrate easier on other things plus can heal and renew itself better. Some find the candida diet alone can almost eliminate their depression and other symptoms. I don't know if I'd go that far, for me it USED to do that and I had my depression almost completely disappear by elminating sugar, yeast and gluten grains, among many other symptoms. I felt like a new person in some ways, but still had mercury poisoning affecting me in other ways.

I wish I could get that improvement nowadays, but I have other issues that are hindering my body from benefitting like it used to.

I'm scared to try ALA at the moment. Many people can only use very small doses of both DMSA and ALA, not the doses suggested by Andy, as they are too high for many of us. Many have to use 25 mg or lower to cope.
