Hi Nina, anytime you begin chelating or detoxing mercury (mobilising it in anyway), the yeast in your body automatically flares up and will aggrave your symptoms even more. It's very possible that that's what is happening to you and trying to eliminate one misery, aggravates another, so you feel you can't win.

Make sure you are strict on a candida diet, so as to not allow the yeast too much leeway, drink alot of water to try and help flush yourself out.

But yeah, the antifungal thing is really difficult. It's risky to use due to the popping open of the candida cell wall and releasing any mercury that might be contained within. Even natural antifungals can do this, some of them are as strong as the drug antifungals. There is something called Syclovir, which apparently binds with candida without causing a detox reaction (which I assume means it doesn't split open teh cell walls, it just binds it up and the body disgards it). I would check it out though.

Probiotics can be risky too, due to a similar effect than antifungals, or that they can methylate mercury (apparently), I don't know this for certain, but I get adverse reactions from them regardless. Die off is one thing, but mercury symptoms are another.

Some people do fine on antifungals and probiotics, even with their mercury problems. I didn't, it nearly destroyed me and I just don't see the point in risking that at all.
