Erm . . . thanks, but I'm doing fine with ALA. It actually cleared my brain fog quickly when I started with it. I'm up to 50mg now and will probably keep it there because I don't see any necessity to take it higher. I always get fogged when SAD comes on.

I've read the symptoms of candida too, and not many of them match with the symptoms I've had. If I had candida, then logically I should have felt something happening as soon as I started the Paleolithic Diet a year and a half ago. I never had any die-off symptoms at all. Whatever ails me, I honestly don't think candida is part of it.

Paleo would be considered a candida diet anyway, and it's a good healing regime for all kinds of things.

Just a thought, but the brain fog doesn't seem to change whether I'm chelating or not at the moment. Fortunately it's not too bad. I've had spells in the past when I was so absent-minded I was doing dangerous things. Right now it's just like I'm a little tipsy sometimes, but I think that might be mercury doing things in my body and also the SAD.

At any rate, I'll be chelating for the foreseeable future. Thanks for the ideas, always welcome.
