You will experience a die-off reaction from killing just the candida, as well. Also, I tried to deal with candida before mercury and ended up wasting tons of money, and putting my body through all kinds of detox reactions that, in the end, didn't help because all benefits were short term.

In other words, I couldn't get rid of the candida overgrowth while heavy metals continued to be a problem, and all the die-off reactions I experienced, in the end, didn't do any good. Sad.

Many people have the experience, and I now include myself in this category, that you need to deal with heavy metals first, and then candida, or nothing will change in the long run.

Also, the theory goes that if you deal with metals first, you may have to deal with an underlying viral or bacterial condition second because the metals are effectively protecting the pathogens from being destroyed by the bodies immune system, and in the case of bacterial infections, the metals are protecting the bacteria from antibiotic, effectively extending their lifespan past the normal course of ABX treatment. Your doctor may believe they got it, but with metals in your body it may not be the case.

This means that those of us with Lyme disease (bacteria) may have to deal with Lyme in a new way once metals are taken care of.

Some practictioners who deal in this area say it is common for secondary health issues to become primary after metals are dealt with. The good new about this is that once metals are dealt with the secondary issue can finally be effectively dealt with. It is a good idea to be prepared for whatever arises.
