Problem is the body needs our help so it can keep a certain control of the yeast and keep it at a more tolerable level. When we eat sugars and things that feed the yeast, far from protecting us, it goes beyond the norm and begins to become another illness.

Candida methylates mercury and causes it to become more toxic. If it's not reduced at least by diet, it too easily gets out of control and causes havoc alongside the mercury.

I'm not saying it should be aggressively treated with antifungals, but by diet, at least then that allows the body a chance to reduce it naturally and in a way that allows for improvement in other areas. Which then gives a person the chance to deal easier with the mercury.

That's my experience anyway. Not treating candida, nearly had me take my own life. When I used diet and allowed fr some overgrowth to be starved out, things became easier for me.

So it's definitely an issue. Yeast overgrows in any situation where things have been allowed to go down hill directly by someone living an unhealthy lifestyle, or through toxicity that is not te fault of the person. If someone does not adjust their diet, they cannot expect their body to assert itself or have a chance to gain a bit of ground.
