Dark circles are also a sign of toxicity. Reducing toxicity can also eliminate or near eliminate dark circles - which is why reducing candida can work very well for this.

Taking supplements did not help me enough until I was in a position to utilise/absorb nutrients better. I was unable to do that until I reduced excessive candida and of course reduce toxins in the process (which can be candida related too). THEN, progress in that area was made. I could feel the difference and good food also made a far bigger impact too.

In fact, here is an example - before the candida diet my nails would only grow to a point and no further. I had also gotten so ill, my hair became very thin and people commented on the change. There were plenty of other symptoms also. Yet I was on supplements, but to no real avail. Once on the diet? I was astounded at my nails suddenly growing and they were very pink and healthy looking with a nice white part at the end. I had never had that in my entire life! Even as a kid when I "thought" i was healthy.

I asked the doctor why this was happening? He said to me, because your body is now absorbing and using the nutrients properly like minerals (calcium etc). This might also account for why my hair became much healthier and thicker and even slightly wavy. Eyebrows and lashes thickened, skin became smooth and soft with the loss of blemishes and lines and eyes became clear and bright and much more strongly coloured.

But to get this, I didn't just eliminate the bad from my diet like sugar wheat/gluten and yeast. I started to consume raw foods. At that stage I was lucky that I could still eat fruit (natural sugar) and get away with it (I can't now). But even more powerful was the raw salads. Once I started adding them, the differences were marked. Heavy duty cleansing started.

Diet can never be ignored or played down as a side issue - the body builds on nutrition. Everything in you is reliant upon the foods you eat daily. Which is why dramatic differences can sometimes occur over a few weeks or months. As the body cleans out and rebuilds. To be able to get the goodness out of food again was incredible. To see the results was proof for me that diet was one of the most important things to get right. No amount of swallowing supplements before the diet did this for me.

Of course, I also needed to address the amalgams and then later detox the mercury. But in the meantime, the diet saved my life. It also motivated me more to do something about the amalgams and no doubt put me in a stronger position to handle the removals and the increased exposure to mercury. When one is overburdened with toxins, they can become extremely apathetic, severely depressed and suicidal. This is a dangerous way to be. Diet lifted me above that alot more. Antidepressants did not.
