Comments on Candida and mercury. Dangers of killing it.

Comments below taken from Turberose.com – Mercury.

The body, in trying to protect itself against mercury, creates a problem of yeast infection.
One of the natural absorbers of heavy metals is candida albicans. The body attracts yeast into the intestines to act as a natural sponge for the mercury.
One theory holds that the body deliberately builds up the population of candida as a coping strategy to deal with the heavy metal poisoning. The body actually fosters the presence of candida in a heavy metal toxic patient because the cell walls of the candida binds up the mercury and other toxic metals, providing a measure of relief. If the candida cell walls are destroyed, the cell walls release their toxic metals back into the system, causing symptoms. This release of heavy metals is possibly one explantion of Herxheimer's reaction, in which the patient feels more ill, and even more toxic, after the candida is attacked and killed. Research shows that oral bacteria, yeast and probiotics all methylate mercury, so you should minimize any contact between the bacteria and your mercury. The methylation of mercury could explain some of the adverse reactions reported by parents and patients who have begun detox with massive doses of probiotics to correct dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is a pressing problem, but the production of large amounts of methyl mercury is much worse. Methyl mercury exacerbates damage to the nervous system and even further promotes dysbiosis by further compromising the intestinal immune system

If an attempt is made to kill the candida before the metals are gone, breaking the cell wall of the candida releases more metals into the gut because the candida cell wall binds to the metals. L-glutamine is of some benefit for intestinal permeability. However, not much can be done to correct intestinal permeability while the patient is still heavy metal toxic and thus at risk of reabsorbing a significant percentage of the mobilized metals.

Mercury is absorbed preferentially by yeast cells, bacterial cells, and molds. In fact, these types of pathogens are present in our body “by invitation” of our immune system. These organisms absorb phenomenal quantities of mercury and serve the supreme purpose of keeping us alive – keeping the mercury from killing us. Thus, to kill off candida indiscriminantly in adults with significant body burdens of toxic metals including mercury is not only foolish, but potentially very dangerous.
Amalgam fillings typically convey immunity to antibiotics. This means that antibiotics may no longer be able to kill or control certain bacteria when mercury is present. This is your body’s way of keeping you alive and illustrates the supreme wisdom of your immune system. Your immune system refuses to destroy certain pathogenic organisms especially if they are heavy laden with toxic metals. If they are destroyed, they release large quantities of mercury which can then do tremendous damage to your body. If your body is “saturated” with mercury at the time you become infected with a pathogenic bacteria, there may be grave consequences. Mercury-induced immune system impairment must not be allowed to exist.

“Because mercury suffocates the intracellular respiratory mechanism and can cause cell death, the immune system makes a deal; it cultivates fungi and bacteria that can bind large amounts of toxic metals. The gain: the cells can breathe. The cost: the system has to provide nutrition for the microorganisms and has to deal with their metabolic products (“toxins”). That does not imply that the tolerated guest cannot grow out of control, as it sometimes clearly does. Therefore, there is still a limited place for antifungal/antibacterial treatment – but only for the acute phase of the disease. A so-called “die-off effect” (the sometimes severe crisis or even lethal reaction a patient can have in the initial stages of aggressive pharmaceutical antifungal or antibacterial treatment) is often nothing else but acute heavy metal toxicity – metals released from the cell walls of dying microorganisms as suggested by my own correlation of clinical syndromes and urinalysis for metals.”.
