stu,

i'm not a maven at all dealing with chelating but i think i've read when you're chelating that the metals dump out and candida gets worse to protect you. bex would know a lot more about this than me. but if that's the case, then maybe it's a good thing because you are getting metals out. i know that the underlying problem for candida is the metals. so maybe even though it's uncomfortable, you could put it in perspective and take it as a positive sign things are going in the right direction.
