I don't entirely agree with this. For starters, sodium bicarbonate can cause excessive sodium and depletion of other minerals. A lady who runs a candida website had this happen to her and had to quit taking it because of continual cramping/pains.

Vitamin C with bioflavanoids (quality powder) was a MASSIVE help to me when mercury toxic. Just that, and selenium increased my antioxidant powers to a much higher level and made for some significant progress. I actually started to excrete mercury via the skin dramatically. Though admittedly a prior DMPS IV had pushed mercury into those areas, the added antioxidants increased my ability to excrete. Even though I ate plenty of fruit and vegetables etc, the extra supplementation was exactly what I needed.

You must take into account not only do poisons like this severely deplete antioxidants and other nutrients, but we are consuming a degraded food supply from early picking and spraying. We most certainly are not getting exactly what we require.

Your comments on garlic? Hmmmm you may have a point. I have NO doubt it does DEFINITELY mobilise metals in the body, and perhaps does cause an excretion of some, I consistently have gut problems after it. Not the kind from "die off". This maybe due to the acidity regulator contained in the crushed garlic I get, but something aint right with my gut after I consume it. Each and everytime I have had to quit taking it. I don't get this with onions, but I do with garlic. It doesn't appear at least for me to help me progress in respect to candida.

So I am wary of it now.
