Thanks Linda for that information about Dr Peatfield. Yes I am sure that i have candida. I fought it 8 years ago and it is back. I know that diet alone does not get rid of it but I don't want to try to get rid of it while I still have my amalgams in, and I would not take any anti-fungal meds but I do use coconut oil. I am looking forward to meeting him after what you have said. The main reason I want to see him is for his vast experience, and so able to tell me how bad a state i am in and whether i am up to chelation in about 6 months time which is my guess. I am not going to take a pile of supplements at present as I have to go easy on everything as i soon develop sensitivites. I think just seeing someone who understands will be an encouragement after I have had zero of that from doctors all of my life apart from Dr Maberly in Keithley Airdale Allergy Centre Yorkshire who tested me for chemicals and found I was highly sensitive and prescribed desensitising injections which only made me worse. He has retired now.
