Re: candida & mercury & autism (Bernie)

[Guest guest]

Bernie,

Thanks for taking the time to find and get that for me!!!!!!!

That is what I needed to see something in immunology talk..

Because I have those tests.And know that language....Do you

know of anyone who is having such a severe yeast issue that

they have to be on sporanox? Or is it just us(SMILE)? Since

yeast is connected to this to that extent...do you personally

or computerally(SMILE)know if yeast was no longer an issue

after detox? Or do you know if it is safe to do this with

sporanox or other meds? That's my scare. My boys are on

5 meds a day. I cannot thank you enough for that info!!

Take care!!!

Kerri

P.S. There yeast rashes are like those pictures you see on the

internet for that deficiency. So maybe that is the difference

and add this mercury and we have 2 sick boys. Oh between

my fillings in my mouth too! I have 3.Do you count husband-

he had 5.
