Increased symptoms during or after chelation confirms heavy metal toxicity.

Candida is one of the symptoms of your disease.

Your candida gets worse after taking ALA = You are heavy metal toxic.

If you weren't toxic chelating would not affected your candida.

Yeah those can cause it and lower immunity, but those are not the sole causes of Candida, Antibiotics causes it and Steroids too correct? I agere on the chelating thing and Candida getting worse though, it has happened to be a few times and like you said it does mean you are metal toxic.

I think the key to all this is to increase intake of iodine, magnesium, and sodium, to help excrete toxic metals, and help suppress candida. Herbs such as cayenne, garlic, turmeric, echinacea and goldenseal also help, as does chelation.
Cayenne has literally helped me alot, the diarreah I had for years is getting alot better! I don't have to go nearly as much anymore! I am going to stay on the Cayenne now, it's too good to just give up at this point. I got bigtime Die offs last week from Cayenne! I can tell it's doing something. The key is minerals like you said though, that allows you to detox safer and aid you in the process, plus it replaces metals as well in your cells? Competes with them right? If you had Magnesium or Iodine in there in the first place would the metals have ever gotten there? Thats always something to think of, some say if you had the right minerals the metals would not effect you near as much as being low. Minerals are a huge key it seems, time to UP them soon.

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.
