Diet - Candida & Hg/Carol

[Guest guest]

>>but my question is, " If it's mercury, why stress over diet? "

Carol,

I have traced ALL of my health problems (won't bore you with the

gruesome details just now) back to mercury. Now I finally know how to

chelate and I hope to eventually beat this thing. BUT, I have had

HUGE improvements/progress with diet interventions. If I hadn't

changed my diet I never ever would have been able to muster up the

strength to make any progess whatsoever. So, I guess I'm saying that

for some of us who have been dealing with these problems for so long,

diet interventions are essential to help us to cope and to help us to

heal.

My daughter has the allergy/ sinus symptoms just like you. I'm very

interested to hear of anything that you find that helps. I have

removed all of the carpets from our house too, I try to battle the

dust, and I won't allow any chemicals around. Right now I'm trying to

figure out how I can help her with diet/supplement interventions.

> First of all, I'm NOT talking about sinus infections. I have had a

few of those over the years but mostly, I've lived with incredible

aching pressure in my head. Like someone put a clamp over the nose and

around the eyes, down the sides of the nose, into the cheeks etc. When

it's really bad my whole face throbs. I've had CT scans which show

NOTHING (as well as sinus xrays). This morning I just wanted to sleep

but new I probably didn't need anymore sleep. It was the swelling

around the eyes keeping me from being able to open them up. Sure

enough, I forced myself to get up and I looked in the mirror. I've

had this for 20+ years and it did follow my first sinus infection. I

notice SLIGHT pressure changes and elevation changes. According to the

book " Sinus Survival " , chronic sinusitis is w/o infection which is why

antibiotics won't work. The drainage when there is any is CLEAR.

Before the shots (which I did for 6 months) I had CHRONIC cough due to

post nasal drip. Folks at my church

> learned to recognize my cough w/o seeing me. That's pretty bad. LOL

I've tried sinus flushing but it didn't do anything. There wasn't

anythinig (other than pollen) to flush out. I get this year round and

it really puts me into a fog and makes it hard to do anything.

Thinking I was stirring up mercury (based on what I had read) I quit

the diet. Then I read that this can also be a symptom of mercury. All

of my current symptoms can be either candida or mercury. Question is,

WHICH? I had read that getting rid of the mercury can help with any

candida. I guess that's not quite true? I wasn't chelating at the time

(and still not YET). I WAS on HIGH doses of raw garlic. I guess I

could go back to a simple candida diet w/o the antifungals but my

question is, " If it's mercury, why stress over diet? " Does this make

sence? The only sure way I guess, would be to request another stool

test from GSDL which is how it was discovered in the first place

(although, knowing my health history and poor

> diet (past tense) I knew it anyways). I've been on prescription

antifungals twice, just not for very long. I'll have to go away and

think about this. The gal that turned me on to researching mercury DID

have her amalgams out and was spending TONS of money on chelation and

diet. She did improve. That's why she suggested this to me. According

to her, she had tried everything I had, and nothing worked till she

had her amalgams out. Carol B

covers on our bed pillows.
