Many with mercury toxicity use olive leaf extract to fight candida, bacteria, and parasites. This article mentions mercury detox with olive leaf extract. Is this due to killing candida that soaked up mercury? If as many claim the candida do a great job of absorbing mercury, then chelation won't be too effective while someone has candida overgrowth. I always thought about fighting candida first before chelating as the symptoms of the candida plus the chelation together would be too great. I didn't think that the candida would prevent much of the mercury from leaving the body.
