Candida can also cause anxiety disorders. Whether it's mercury or yeast or both, they should be simultaneously treated in most people.

That's great you chelated successfully and no longer have to worry about yeast. But I say to others, why go through misery of leaving a severe yeast problem unchecked whilst you chelate? Since it takes often YEARS to complete chelation. Why not get yourself into a better state of mental/physical health be reducing toxins simultaneously?

It is OK to treat yeast during chelation but don't let the yeast control your life. Chelate and you will get better.

The other stuff is just quackery.

PS. I never treated my yeast during chelation. It got much worse. I survived it and now i am much better. Yeast sucks but it won't kill you.


It is, for some, ESSENTIAL to treat yeast, whether they are mercury toxic or suffering from some other illness suppressing immunity. This is how serious candida can be and sadly, yeast can indeed control a person's life unless they do something about it, depending on the severity of the case. Mercury is not the only culprit in allowing yeast to proliferate.

What other stuff is just quackery?

You survived it possibly because mercury was your main problem. With others, there maybe more issues going on at once and to suffer multiple toxicity at onetime can indeed be very serious and very risky - not only physically, but mentally/emotionally.

You said "Yeast sucks but it won't kill you".... Funnily enough, I have not only read about a lady dying of a heart condition and it was discovered her heart was encased in yeast, but have also heard of suicides as a result of a yeast infection out of control. These toxins, not just mercury, can indeed affect the brain/emotions to a serious extent and indirecty can push a person over the edge - so yes, even just the risk of suicide alone is cause enough for a person with a serious yeast problem to do something about it there and then.

Had I not treated my yeast, I may have gone through with the unthinkable. Mercury evidentally was not my only problem and there was more suppressing my immunity and allowing such a yeast problem. Not treating it, in hindsight is unthinkable to me now. Thank GOD I did something about it.

Some can become so sick with multiple toxicity, that they can barely function let alone get active with their chelating or even look after themselves properly. You may not have had the severity of yeast that some do. I was so bad when I did not treat my yeast, that I was practically bedridden. I was also in denial and decided my diet was good enough that it can't have been yeast (yes it as ). I coudln't even chelate properly I was so loaded up with toxins from all quarters and trying to do so caused severe gut pain/cramps that were intolerable and I was unable to take another DMSA pill.

Treating yeast enabled me to get up and start taking more action and I was able to chelate again. It also enabled me to function better and do more for myself, instead of lying in bed like a complete invalid with a bowl next to me.

Chelation maybe the cure for some, but it won't take away the symptoms at the time, nor the yeast at the time. Consider the length of time it takes to chelate the mercury. To leave a person in a severe state of yeast infection is not only foolish in my opinion, but possibly very dangerous if they are anything like myself! Again, I do not believe I would still be here if I had not taken strong action against this candida culprit. It has the potential to cause great suffering/misery and the risk of allowing someone to continue in such a state, even whilst they are trying to chelate, is not worth it.

For some, they maybe pushed so far over the edge, they may never even get to finish their chelation because of it. Suicides happen too readily in illnesses like these, there is no need to make a bad situation much worse and let it remain so throughout the months/years it takes to complete mercury detox.



This post right here is GOLD, read it people it's the truth. Great post Bex, you said everything I could say in one post.

Please post more scary stories like this so that people will be too scared to do anything that might help them.

You say yeast can make a person suicidal. So can mercury.

If you cannot stick to a treatment because you are suicidal or because you suffer from an anxiety disorder you need to see a shrink. Psychological problems are not an excuse to delay chelation.
I agree and think you should do both, sometimes Chelation or detox makes my Candida alot better without even treating it! I feel alot better, breathe better and think better alot of times. When I use the Selenium I get bigtime Yeast flareups though? Chlorella helped, Cilantro when I used it (Two weeks only) and so did Zeolite, all helped with the yeast and Mercury at the same time. It appears Alginate or Kombu Kelp helps with both as well. If your yeast problems are Mercury related chelation can be money! I agree there.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
