Hi Chigirl, I wish I was doing much better. I am actually much worse. But treating candida has in the past been a godsend. During my amalgam days and even post amalgam, the diet was pretty essential for gaining immunity and health benefits.

These days it's different. I have been pretty much ruined by virus and other infection. Taken a huge toll on my immune system and not something I have been able to recover from. Diet only barely helps me function to some degree, but since my last dental visit (not amalgam, I had composites redone with porcelain), the visit and the work pretty much finished me.

I guess I was exposed to toxins from anaesthetic, plus a lot of mercury vapor that is already in the dental office itself (from other people having amalgam placed or even replaced). I get ill everytime I go in. So I was there for hours at a time and I guess I got very poisoned.

I am still trying to recover from that and am not doing well. But hanging in there I guess you could say. I would warn people who are very unwell, toxic, sensitive, to watch out for this. Even andy cutler knows that certain people, when going into a dental office, can (just by being there, even for a mere consultation) take in a lot of mercury vapor and become poisoned by that alone.

I know some who have had to chelate all over again by one dental visit. It can be devastating. I never used to have that problem before the virus, so I guess my immune system is very very vulnerable.
