HI Bex.....I have read there is a symbiotic relationship with bacteria and mercury. Klinghardt wrote, " Most if not all chronic infectious diseases are not caused by a failure of the immune system, but are a conscious adaptation of the immune system to an otherwise lethal heavy metal environment. Mercury suffocates the intracellular respiratory mechanism and can cause cell death. So, the immune system makes a deal: it cultivates fungi and bacteria that can bind large amounts of toxic metals. The gain: the cells can breathe. The cost: the system has to provide nutrition for the microorganisms and has to deal with their metabolic products ("toxins"). That does not imply that the tolerated guest cannot grow out of control, as it sometimes clearly does."

I brush with a teatree oil toothpaste and rinse with a solution of food grade hydrogen peroxide....it really helps. You can try oil pulling too, that is supposed to really clean out the toxins and subsequently reduce plague. It sounds gross, but I do it on occasion and just answer emails and the 15 minutes passes in no time at all!! http://www.oilpulling.com/

Hope this helps some,
