A few pieces of info that may help...

Coffee facilitates the transport of mercury through cell membranes. Coffee and mercury are a really bad mix.

Any type caffiene will dispel calcium, magnesium and electrolyes so coffee is bad x 2.

Even though we have rave reviews about Algin from most people, we're now discovering that in a few people (perhaps fewer than 1 in 10 so far), Algin affects people in a negative way. This is a mystery to me.

Some excellent information on Candida...

"Candida ingests everything in it's environment, and grows and spreads rapidly when unchecked. The inorganic mercury in the gut is also consumed. Inorganic mercury ions ingested by yeast form various compounds.

Yeast cell walls can bear their own weight in mercury. When the mercury load becomes too much for the yeast, it is excreted free as methyl mercury.

Methyl mercury is Candida's flame. Methyl mercury is rapidly and efficiently absorbed throughout the human intestines. From there the blood stream carries methyl mercury (CH3Hg) throughout the body. CH3Hg can pass the blood brain barrier, the placental barrier, and can be tightly bound into proteins, fatty acids, hormones, enzymes, nerve cells, everywhere.

The selective attack of mercury on the immune system is now completed for people at all states of compromise. Nuetrophil's, the immune system macrophages patrolling the GI, consume the mercury bearing yeast. Macrophages collect up all the various forms of mercury within and on the yeast as they eat them.

As the Nuetrophil looks for the antioxidant glutathione (GSH), to rid itself of the yeast poisons, it finds little or none available. The mercury compounds in the blood stream have already preferentially bound up the available GSH as the body moves to clear the mercury poison through the liver.

At some point the body becomes short of resources for combating mercury and Candida. The neutrophil's are crippled, and unable to eat Candida. New GSH is in short supply."


"In the healthy gut, the yeast Candida albicans; it's many Candida yeast cousins; and staph and streptococcus bacteria are not welcome. E. coli, bifidum, bulgaricus, and other acidophilus type bacteria work together with the human immune system macrophages, called Nuetrophil's, to keep these bad guys out.

Yeast, staph, strep, and E. coli all convert inorganic mercury ions into methyl mercury.

E. coli, when present in a healthy gut, and when well supplied with the amino acid cysteine, along with the other healthy coinhabitants of the gut lining, convert methyl mercury into inorganic mercury.

A healthy GI flora is essential in keeping the bad guys out, slowing the ingestion of methyl mercury, and completing the digestive process for many foods.

Yeasts are fungus or plants, and are not killed or controlled by antibiotics. In effect, antibiotics are plant extracts, having first been isolated in penicillin mold. Antibiotics encourage yeast growth.

Antibiotics are highly effective at killing bacteria, members of the animal kingdom. The healthy inhabitants of the human gastro-intestinal (GI) track, are bacteria. The gut bacteria are killed by antibiotics. With enough exposure to broad spectrum antibiotics, GI flora can be completely exterminated.

Viruses are neither plant nor animal. They are encased strands of DNA and RNA that steal reproduction capability from the cells of the hosts they invade. Antibiotics have no direct effect on viruses."
