I am not sure about garlic being a chelator... far as i know it helps to make the mercury less toxic as it's passing through and out of your system, which is of great benefit obviously. raises your glutathione levels too, all connected doing the same thing to mmake the mercury less toxic to you. I read somewhere once that garlic actually makes the mercury a bit water soluble and thus you eliminate it easier. Not sure how valid that is but I read it somwhere, forget where though. I like garlic. But don't eat it alone or you'll get nice stomach cramps, maybe even vomit. Eat it raw chopped up with salad or in hommous or something. You can eat quite a bit more than just a couple cloves in s ession if you mix it into a yummy recipe, raw of course, don't cook it. Always cut any brown spots off, don't eat brown spots. You can chop it up and eat with cottage cheese for instance, add flax seed oil to that too, real good for you.

Find a good source of organic garlic or grow your own.

Probably effective for candida, I do not have a candida issue. I do eat lots of garlic.
