Hi Finn,

Brain fog can = candida and/or mercury toxicity.

Reactions to sulfur foods/supplements and chelation can = metal toxicity.

There are a few tests around people can do, but they must be interpreted correctly by an expert who understands how to do this. They can be easily misinterpreted! Low levels of mercury for instance in hair testing or other testing may not give an accurate idea of what is really going on. Low levels of mercury can mean retention toxicity (the poison is tightly bound up) and is often a worse case scenario as such people do not readily excrete the metal and are usually more difficult to treat and often sicker than those showing higher levels.

So you see the problem? Low levels may also mean low levels but a person can be highly sensitive to mercury and much more intolerant of it than somebody else. High levels of mercury can mean exactly that, but it can also mean the mercury is coming out, which is why it is showing up much more!

In a way you have already given yourself a test by the reactions you have gotten from the sulfur and chelating agents. This is unlikely to have any impact on you otherwise, unless there are heavy metals present. Please take this into account.

Many people with toxicity of this kind of other are often burdened by excess yeast levels (candida). Candida alone can cause many of the symptoms similar to mercury and can make a person very sick. The toxins from candida can poison you also. This is why it is advised that a person who is burdened by a toxin or other condition treat possible candida. Going on a candida diet is a good start. Just eliminating the sugars and excess high carbohydrates from the diet can be enough of a test for those with candida. The die off process that results in excess candida being reduced is usually evidence enough and the improvements that come later on is often well worth the intial difficult detox period.

A biologic dentist here will not remove amalgams from his toxic patients until candida is first treated. Because they are usually overburdened by toxicity from both. Relieving one of the problem can help the immune system and puts the gut and liver in a better condition for detox. There is no reason why anybody should ignore this who is ill. It boosted me alot. Even WITH amalgams, a candida diet I think saved my life. I was so mercury toxic, that the candida had literally taken over. Reducing this problem did wonders. it didn't cure me because mercury was the underlying problem, but it helped me a great deal.

You might want to consider treating both these problems in case they are causing such symptoms in you and making your life miserable. There is no need to put up with them if that's the case. What have you got to lose by doing it? Except toxins! It's not easy to detox, but the rewards are often well worth it. Mercury detox is not a quick nor pleasant experience for many, but it is necessary.

Your amalgam removal only turned of the tap of ongoing exposure. It has not gotten rid of your existing mercury which is no doubt still in your tissues and organs and needing to be chelated out.
