Hello, thank you for your valuable response!

The reason why I am entering this territory and suspect mercury and/or other metals (nickel, copper) is that no matter how long I stay clear on the candida diet or keep doing other therapies my skin won't improve. My candida will get worse when I start to eat lots of carbo-foods, but apart from that my symptoms have persisted whatsoever. And since adding MSM the last weeks, I have felt strange sensations and die-off effects stronger than anything else I have tried (parasite cleanse, anti-fungals, etc.). I don't do it anymore because I suspect mercury and want to try a real chelator instead.


Before I embark on all this I will make an appointment with a biological dentist who knows all this. It will probably ruin me, but my hives ruins my life already, so what is there to lose?
panoramic x-ray? I have noted it. thanks.

re: seafood. Living in norway, where seafood always has been a sort of a staple food for people for generations, YES no doubt I have eaten a lot of seafood. Some canned tuna, but lots of mackerel, salmon, trout, herring. (Have ceased it the last couple of weeks though..) I believed that the mercury exposure in fish was highly overdimensionated, being nothing to be afraid about.. Could that be upping the Hg load?

Why I believe I have candida?
well, things add upp I guess:
-antibiotics several times during early infancy
-(possible yet no confirmed exposure to mercury)
-mostly censored diet throughout my teenage years
-alcohol, some marihuana
-lots of stress, have been overly emotional all my life, have not been able to deal with it in a proper manner. Been through a lot of detrimental friendships and relations with people.
-Some inherited weaknesses. Both grandmother and mother are overly sensitive to chemicals, electricity, foods, etc. Both have lots of mercury fillings, but they haven't had any mentionable skin problems..

When my symptoms started? My hives started when I was 16 along with deep acne. freq. urination as well. The more I think about it I start to realize that many of my mental symptoms have been there since I can remember, but they have not bothered me so much as they do now. In a retrospective view, I was very obsessed with stuff when I was a kid too. I prefered to be alone and play or plunder with atlases and timetables for buses and metro lines (!). I cried a lot without reason and have felt weak physically as long as I can remember: very very hard to gain any visible muscles.

I hope that my answers may give some more pointers re: mercury, candida, etc.

greetings from phil and thanks again to the people who share of their valuable time to help others with this difficult issue.
