Did you read my post, Bex?
I said it is OK to treat yeast during chelation but it is foolish to delay chelation because you have a yeast problem. The people who do this will never get better.
Yes I did indeed read your post. But I also read how you didn't treat your own yeast, which was your decision. However, because of the seriousness of yeast in some people and the impact of it that can be much worse than realised - I felt compelled to let people know that it is most definitely not a side issue.
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.
Scary stories? I very much doubt people here, who have suffered mercury toxicity and the impact of it and well aware of the more severe impacts, both through experience and reading, are going to sit in a jibberish state after my post regarding candida, rendering them into a state of immobility through fear. If that's the case, they better stop reading anything aboutwhat mercury itself can do, and that includes some of the more harsher reality posts by Cutler.
Like Cutler, if I shut up about the risks and impact of candida or mercury, then I'm guilty of remaining silent. It also helps others to realise that their symptoms from either can be helped if action is taken and sometimes it takes some reality shocks before a person will do something.
Do you think that Cutler should stop posting "scary stories" about what can happen if a person doesn't chelate properly too? He's told people that there is sometimes irreversible damage and people winding up in psyche wards. So your comments on me giving harsh reality answers regarding candida could perhaps be applied to him also.
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.
Evidentally you didn't read my post properly or you're simply being insulting. It is known that both mercury and candida can CAUSE anxiety/depression and suicidal thoughts by the toxins themselves. No amount of psyche talk or analysing will convince the toxins to come out. It may provide support, but that depends on whether the psychologist is sympathetic and interested in a person's health, or whether they will convince them it's just "them". That in itself can be a risk and increase a person's sense of isolation, hopelessness etc. Andy warns about such people being put in mental hospitals. They don't treat mercury or candida.
I have been down that road and it was not a pleasant one, including the medications they put me on. I needed to reduce the toxicity and start feeling more human again and that's exactly what happened next.
I still had amalgams, but didn't know about the impact of them at that stage. I was put on a candida diet by a doctor practising some alternative health. It lifted many of the symptoms after a few weeks. Improvements were quite dramatic. I still suffered, because clearly it was the amalgams. Later I found out about them, and got the amalgams removed. But I still hadn't heard about Cutler.
It's been a long journey for me and many wrong detoxes were done through ignorance and other doctors giving me the wrong treatment, which often sent me over the top with symptoms also. Only through finally getting the internet did I seek more help and found Cutler.
During candida - much of my symptoms were also physical NOT just mental so that I barely had the strength to get out of bed most days and often had to have meals brought into me - all of which unfortunately were feeding the yeast problem and keeping me there. So this had little to do with depression/anxiety, I was physically exhausted and very toxic.
I didn't need to see mental help regarding chelation, and I doubt most people do. I simply got back on track with the diet and got strong enough to apply it more regularly. It doesn't mean I couldn't have done more chelation, or at least more with the ALA. But I was still getting more than enough symptoms on DMSA alone, which was difficult financially to continue with. Later I was hit with a virus and other things that I've had to deal with.
I've already tried ALA as I've said, but notice not much except worsening yeast. You've already said this is a sign of mercury so I am waiting till I can get more ALA and try again.
