Just a note. The candida diet is preferable than using antifungals and is safer. Antifungal use may cause a dramatic sudden killing off of yeast, which may release a load of toxins into your system at onetime. If any of that yeast contains heavy metals, they too will be released in one go and can poison you severely.

The safest manner to address candida is simply with diet. You should not use antifungals until you have been on the diet fully for months first. Even then, I would be careful. Personally, I found that I became too reliant on them. Diet is about as far as I go with addressing yeast.

And do not use Alpha lipoic acid, until your body/blood levels of mercury are reduced first, as has been repeated here. JK suggest the safer protocol for using it, when you are ready. Start with very low doses and increase later as tolerated. E.g. many start as low as 12.5 mg. It is a very powerful chelator of mercury. Some people have used this chelator and nothing else to chelate and heal from mercury. You 'can" use it WITH DMSA if it helps with side effects. Plus the extra chelator may also speed things up and chelate even more mercury. However, ALA alone does the job fine apparently.
