Hi shawn, wish you all the best re the disability and housing situation. Let us know how things turn out.

I know it's hard to know how to handle what you have, given it's obviously a multi factoral problem. I think it would be wise to ask someone on frequent dose forum about the possible combination of mercury/copper being involved here and what to do about both at the sametime!

I would definitely take the advice of treating candida, the amount of symptoms this causes is as bad as any mercury, copper list you'll find. In fact, if you treated your candida, you would then know exactly how the metals are affecting you outside of the candida and probably be in a stronger and clearer position to get onto treating that.

Believe me Shawn, without treating yeast, I was so overwhelmed by symptoms, I coudl barely function let alone think of treating other issues. I believe that diet is essential and the supplements andy suggests and others I would not hesitate in taking. You won't know unless you try and it doesn't seem like a huge deal to me to get those two at the very least and take with each meal.

The man knows what he's talking about and some information has been updated, he is learning more and more as well. I would have a lot of trust in him considering there does not seem to be the horrible results from his advice that I see elsewherea and I feel he's very accurate.

If he feels ALA is unwise in copper toxicity, you may need to be very careful with the idea of taking it onboard. I know there is conflicting advice out there and it seems some people with copper can take ALA, others cannot. I've seen that in his own book. Sounds like he's more against it now than he was then...

You can be pretty sure that yeast will be causing many of your symptoms and it maybe very tough for your body to let go of metals if it's too high in yeast and toxic from that and other things at the sametime. If you deal with yeast, you should find your body is stronger and more efficient in dealing with other problems. I would start on that personally and go from there.
