hi diane : I'm sorry you are feeling so bad , It would be a good idea to take a break from the chelation for a while and let your body recover from the stress the chelation puts on your body , I had to quite my chelation also , I didn't know if it was helping or making things worse and know what you are going through , and like you I love chinese food ,I think that I have candida according to the test results from the water/spit test from this forum , I am going to try another type of chelation , I have read some good things about zeolites ,they are supposed to remove mercury , other toxins , heavy metals and kills cadida at the same time without the side effects of chelators like dmps,dmsa and ala, I will let you know how it gos , hang in there diane and hope you feel better soon
