Ok this is going to be a long post, so hope you'll bear with me. Candida almost always exists in a mercury toxic person. They go hand in hand. They both can cause their own seperate misery, so try and imagine it combined.

Mercury harms the gut and liver, candida harms the gut and liver. Sadly, both the gut and liver are crucial in the process of detox. So the effects of these both can be pretty horrific. Alleviate one and the other will normally improve somewhat.

But it is tough. Mercury is hard to get rid of, candida isn't easy either, but at least with candida, you have control over the one thing it needs desperately (sugar). If you continue to eat sugar, even the bits here and there, candida is happy and remains at high levels, poisoning your blood stream, harming your liver and gut, whilst you are undoing the mercury toxicity at the sametime.

Take away candida's main food source and watch what happens. You stop eating sugar, yeast, gluten grains and when these things come out of your system (may take some days or longer), the candida begins to panic. It needs these things to survive and suddenly they are not there. Though it can still feed on natural sugars from milk, fruit etc, so long as you either elminate things initially or mimimise them, the candida will still start to weaken and die. If you have an acute case of candida, you may need to have no fruit at all, no milk, no potatoes (starch can feed candida) etc.

At any rate, rid the main things, mimise or elminate the rest if needs be. The candida will start to weaken and become ill and die. When this occurs, you will sometimes feel worse and could end up getting headaches, burning eyes, sleepy etc. It can cause almost anything. IT will want you to cheat and eat sugar and you will sometimes start craving the very foods you need to avoid. This is the candida talking. If you can hold out and fight, even if you feel like you're going crazy with cravings, the candida will die. If you cheat? You may have to start from scratch all over again, or you will simply not notice progress.

The die off period can last from days to weeks, depending on each invidual.

Candida also absorbs mercury. It has been known to hold its own weight in mercury. So if a person decides to use antifungals? The antifungals will kill large amounts of yeast in one go, cause the yeast cells to split open and release all their toxicity, plus mercury. when this happens, a person ca become repoisoned with mercury. Not a wise move. Though in some cases antifungal have to be used if it's acute case of candida, but only under guidance.

Diet is the safest way to do this because yeast simply get ill, and wither and are disgarded by the body eventually. They do give off their death toxins and alcohols, which can cause you to feel very unwell and almost drunk on occassion, but its' worth going through.

I do hopethat helps a litte Mercury of course is the underlining factor, but lowering candida in the body can help some people feel dramatically better. Some detox the mercury easier after this also.
