Hi Rg,

Both mercury and candida (and no doubt other things) can be responsible for MCS. Though mercury maybe at the bottom of it, since mercury lowers immunity and can allow yeast to flourish, thereby increasing toxicity, lowering immunity even more and things like MCS can occur.

If it's any consolation, when I had amalgams, I also had MCS. I went on a yeast diet and the MCS improved markedly. Though the underlying condition was still there, I was much healthier.

I suggest treating candida at this stage to prepare you for amalgam removal. To increase your health, immunity and reduce toxins inside your body. A dentist here in my country, will not remove amalgams from his patients, unless they are treating their yeast. That's how common it is and how bad it is.

You need to totally eliminate sugar, wheat/gluten, yeast, coffee, honey from your diet. This may also include high carbohdyrates like all grains, fruits, milk (because of lactose, which is a natural sugar), potatoes/corn/peas/beans/carrots etc (high carb vegets).

You may get away with "some" of the high carbs in natural foods, you may not. Either eliminate or at least reduce. But at the very least totally get rid of sugar/wheat/gluten/yeast. They seem to be the worse culprits (at least they were for me).

Safe foods are meats, eggs (free range), chicken, liver, low carb vegetables, yoghurt (sugar free and plain), almonds/brazil nuts, herbal teas (you may get away with black tea).

Wheat by the way is treated apparently with mercury fungicide. So it's best to eliminate it anyway, but also because it's a gluten grain. Gluten can cause awful problems in many people. Gluten is in rye, barley, wheat, etc.

Get plenty of healing fats like butter, extra virgin olive oil, fish oil (mercury free brand), lard is also ok.

If you do all this, you may get a detox reaction. Your symptoms may increase or other symptoms may occur, over the time your body is trying to heal and get rid of the toxins. It may take a few weeks before you start noticing real improvements. It is worth sticking to it.

you can add vitamins/minerals - vitamin mineral powder mix for example, extra vitamin C in powder with bioflavanoids, vitamin E (soy free), selenium, zinc, magnesium etc.

This can be in preparation for amalgam removal. Then if you get a good biologic dentist who gives full protection, you might be wise to start getting your amalgams removed.
