True, but it will also flourish in cases of immune suppression/challenge - and mercury is not the only culprit for that. There are plenty of other problems out there that can cause a devastated health condition and corresponding yeast imbalance.

I'm going to try ALA soon anyway.

Yeah, at one point I was still able to eat high carb foods, even with amalgams in my teeth. Though I realised I was unable to consume sugar, wheat/gluten and yeast. Everything else was ok for me.

But later after amalgam removal and chelation, I was noticing that cheats on my diet were becoming eaiser to recover from. Though I still had to be careful to some extent, because I was still poisoned.

Only after the later problems I got from viral infection etc, did I get so much worse and need to be on a really low carb diet. I can't eat any fruit, grains, milk/cream, high carb vegetables. Things are way worse nowadays.
