Mercury-Candida Connection?

[Guest guest]

Here are some quotes that are obviously based on the cellular/pleomorphic

theories (Bechamp and co. from the 1800's) I hear a chorus of practitioners who

are returning in some degree to these fascinating ideas. They were drowned out

at the turn of the century by the Pasteur based germ theory, but successful

practitioners, Bee included, are again utilizing some version of them today

often with notable results.

I suspect that there is a happy medium balance between the two theories and that

is what I am searching for.

My personal musings are as follows, but I'm interested in Bee's and other's

comments.

" Good fats and a well balanced metabolism naturally cleanse and detoxify the

body, so it makes sense that a regime like Bee's would gently remove

mercury/heavy metals/toxins, and that would secondarily bring the levels of

yeast/infection down, particularly as sugar, the great amplifier, is removed as

well.

It is well understood that yeast and candida can trigger difficult and

insufferable symptoms.

Here are the quotes.

Quote: Dietrich Klinghardt, MD

" Mercury suffocates the intracellular respiratory mechanism and can cause cell

death.

So, 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. "

Quote: B. , 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 this 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. "
