I've been doing as much research as I can about candida and amalgams, and I'd be grateful for your views. I have a full house of mercury toxicity - high reading in a hair analysis, candida, leaky gut, malabsorption, food sensitivities, very restricted diet, stuffy nose, sore throat, muscle twitches, depression, fatigue - the works. This all started after a dentist removed a mercury filling without precautions over a year ago - and I've been living this nightmare ever since. I also have Gilberts Syndrome, which means I detoxify slowly. Now the candida and leaky gut have taken over my life, and I am struggling to maintain my weight (I am already very thin and can't afford to lose more) I was wondering whether it was worth blasting the candida with something like ThreeLac - just to get regain some territory. I have read so many things - some (Healthydetox) that say you shouldn't treat the candida as it will release the mercury (which I think I actually experienced when I first started taking probiotics), and others that say (including Andy Cutler) fixing the gut has to be done (and surely any attempt to mobilize the mercury via the gut would be a disaster if it's leaky?). I feel I am getting weaker and thinnner, able to eat less and less - this can't be good. With 12 amalgams to remove, (I start in two weeks time) I have a long haul ahead (at least a year), and I need to find a way of living throughout this without becoming a skeletal wreck. So, treat the candida, or not?
