Good stuff!!!, thanks so much Bex, I have pondered this exact issue alot lately...the use of too many antifungals caused me to relapse and now i know it was because too much mercury was released from killing the yeast the second time around on the diet. It also explains why my digestion is getting worse, the newly released mercury is wreaking havoc in my gut.

I wish I could get this message across to the yeast forums, they are capitalizing on so many candida sufferers and making them much sicker...what a bloody shame...and Whole Approach won't even let us discuss mercury on the open forum.

I believe that you have to kill the intestinal yeast to optimize digestion and to strengthen the ileocecal valve to stop new yeast from getting into the body, but the best way is to stop feeding new crops of yeast by is by diet and probiotics, not aggressive antifungals.

If we have good elimination, our body can excrete the chelated mercury out much more efficiently....and it is less likely to be recirculated.

Thanks again Bex, that is great info.
