hi Mike, I have systemic candida. I've had it for years. It can be very debilitating. Do you still have your amalgams or any cavitations, root canals, etc.?
I've been trying to treat the candida for decades. It won't go away I think because I still have amalgams. Once I get the amalgams out and deal with any other teeth issues, I'm hoping to make better progress. But I understand as long as metals are at a toxic level in the body, it's difficult to get rid of candida.
A biological dentist named Dr. Robert Johnson wrote an article on this:
by Robert B. Johnson, DMD, ND, MT.
"Many times when the heavy metals are removed and chelated from the body, yeast drops significantly. It is now understood that the body is able to use yeast to combine with heavy metals to render them inactive. Less damage to your health is done with high levels of yeast than heavy metals so it is thought that the body uses higher levels of yeast to protect itself from dangerous toxins."
The source of the theory came from Dietrich Klinghardt, MD. He said that the body prefers candida to heavy metal and that the candida attaches to mercury.
If this is so, then too-vigorous efforts to kill off candida might be a bad idea for persons with amalgam fillings. Better to remove the fillings and wait until symptoms of heavy metal poisoning are gone and then attack the candida."
And if you want to read about the theory further, see this article by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt. The paragraph pertaining to fungal infections is the fourth paragraph from the top, I believe:
