Hi Demi

Just wanted to sympahize with you and tell you that you are not alone. I find the people and the info on this forum a blessing. Imagine if there was no internet or think of the people who dont have access to computers and the interenet and are also poisoned. I am new myself, and I think that the most important thing is that you are _aware_ of what is going on, and that will set you on the right track. I am just beginning the awareness process, now we have to work hard on the process.

I agree with what others have told you about how an overdos on fruit (hence sugar) can give you flare-ups. Candida is a yeast (bad bacteria) that feeds from sugar among other things. I belive the candida symptoms are very similar to mercury toxicity ones.
I thought all my chronic illnesses were due to candida and have been on the candida diet for three months until my DMSA urine tests came out last week with devastating results, now I have candida and mercury.

I am including a link of a wonderful forum for candida if you are interested, the people are nice as in this one, it is like a big family. Many of the participants in the forum (and I mean many) have also amalgams fillings, which provoked their candida

Laura, you are such a wonderful person. In your postings you come across as a lovely, helpulf and altruistic person.
Laura said: Believe me, I can completely sympathize with what both of you have gone through. In fact, I believe that a big reason why I'm still single today (at 38) is because of how mercury affected me mentally, emotionally and physically"

Well, I didnt know you before, but I can say now that the male population wherever you live must be crazy for letting you go!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
By the way, Laura, I am going to try your suggestion of taking ALGIN with METAL FLUSH that my doctor prescribed, I am going to give it a try.
I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks a lot to all for this wonderful and much needed forum

Alicia
