Angelbaby, interesting that you mentioned 3 weeks. That was the time that I took to feel better from starting the candida diet. I was very toxic during that time. However, I did not take any form of antifungal, so I don't think it was mercury related, as I didn't detect that side of it as such until I used an antifungal later on, which released a load of mercury/metals into my system poisoning me so badly I had to use DMSA to chelate them back out.

This did not occur on the diet alone, because the yeast cells die more slowly from starvation, rather than being blasted by an antifungal which seeks to split the cell walls open (and releases metals).

My die off from diet was not easy admittedly, but I felt it was more yeast toxin related. When yeast cells die, they release their alcohols/death toxins in bigger numbers, so it takes time for the body to eliminate that. And for me it was 3 weeks at that time.

Perhaps it was the threelac with you that did most of the damage? Die off is bad enough with yeast toxins alone, but mercury release on top of it can be devastating and even dangerous. In fact, the antifungal I used was so lethal to me, I was shaking, I tasted metals, I had fevers and chills, ended up with urinary tract infection and many other horrible symptoms from the acute metal exposure. It's apparently been proven in urine tests that antifungals can indeed cause such metal release from yeast. Better to reduce them via diet and simply starve them of what they need to thrive on. That way excess yeast is reduced gradually and in a much safer manner.
