I am very mercury toxic and possibly other metal toxic, due to me finding out I have incompatible dental materials (glass ionomers, which can contain metals), plus composites containing phenol. I cannot seem to get well with mercury chelation, no matter what I do and it's gone on now for nearly two years. I have NO amalgam in my mouth, have been checked by panoramic xray also.

Not long ago, I went on a candida diet. I had pretty severe die off which lasted 3 weeks long, but following this, had significant improvement. Nothing miraculous, but it was everything compared to how I was. Sadly, I was recommended to take an antifungal and that I should be treating the yeast aggressively. following this advice, I got an antifungal (herbs - caprylic acid, etc). The first day I took this, I had an explosive reaction. It did not feel like the usual die off and I had to stop taking it. I tried again and the same thing happened. I persisted, and finally was able to keep taking it, but never felt well from that point on.

I tried to stop taking it, but stopping it then became even worse, so I was forced to continue. Finally a doctor/dentist told me it was not a wise move to take, so I stopped it. The symptoms from that point on flooded me. I developed night sweats (drenching the sheets and bedclothes), eyelid droop, muscle weakness, metallic taste, flushing/chills, blocked/swelling in the nose, depression/anxiety, new food allergies which would bring things on dramatically worse. All this from starting and stopping an antifungal. I have NEVER been ok since and have been devastated by this. Months later, I'm suffering as badly as ever. I am trying to chelate, but not having much luck. I suffer nausea daily, suicidal thoughts, severe depression and bizzare fears, crying/salivating sometimes, and fatigue so bad I'm debilitated.

I really wish people would STOP recommending antifungals, they ruined me and I can't reverse the damage this has done. I have tried to ask why this has occured and just been told "it's just candida". I am afraid if I take an antifungal again, I may be doing further damage. I simply do not know what I am dealing with anymore.

Can anybody tell me what occured? I thought it might be the antifungal splitting open the cell walls of the candida in me and releasing mercury/metals within itself and right back into my system, repoisoning me. I have heard this theory, and wonder if this may have occured? I don't hear other people having such a problem, or long term like I have after using one.

any advice/comments would be appreciated (I am taking DMSA andy cutler style, but even this is hard). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> [color:"blue"] [/color]
