How I Cured My Candida

One Woman's Story How She Beat Candida Yeast Infection

Replacing Amalgam Fillings

Dental Amalgam Fillings

It has been documented that mercury escapes from amalgam fillings and adversely affects person’s health. Even tough most scientists agree that dental amalgam fillings leach mercury into the mouth, there are studies that vary widely in the amount and whether such amount presents significant health risks. Still many clinical experiments have also demonstrated that symptoms associated with mercury poisoning greatly decrease when amalgam fillings are removed.

I had 10 amalgam fillings in my mouth and when my dentist found out that 2 of them were already cracked, I decided they have to be replaced as soon as possible. But I didn’t want my regular dentist to do it because she did not have special safety measures to dispose of the mercury vapors that would be released by drilling the amalgams.

I found a holistic dentist who used a very effective rubber band to gather pieces of the amalgam making sure they don’t drop into my mouth for me to swallow. They also used an air filtering unit close to my mouth, good suction and breathing masks for him and the assistant too. This dentist found one more chipped amalgam, so they ended up replacing 3 fillings for me. Now I have 7 more left, but I’m sure I’ll replace them later on.

Taking Care Of Heavy Metal Residues

Replacing Amalgam Fillings CH77Before going for my amalgam removal appointment I visited a homeopath who did a heavy metal test for me (see previous post). I asked the homeopath if there are anything that I should do or take to protect myself from the vaporizing mercury before or after treatment. She gave me this small bottle with a strange name: CH 77

CH77 contains Magnesium Carbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Chelation Agents and Oxygen. It is supposed to neutralize ionic heavy metals, such as Lead, Mercury, Cadmium and Iron, as well as Chlorine, Fluoride and other Halogens. It also prevents free radical over-production.

I will drink 3 ml of this solution with a liter of water every day until the bottle is finished and this should keep me safe from leaching mercury so that it won’t set into my tissues but is washed away.

Toxic Heavy Metal Test

Ionic Heavy Metal Test

Toxic Heavy Metal Test When we are exposed to heavy metals from our environment, these chemicals are transported to tissues in our body. As a result a urine test reflects recent exposure to heavy metals.

This test, which is called an Ionic Heavy Metal Test, indicates ionic heavy metals and gives immediate indication of chelation ability. The test is based on the oldest chemical method for the  detection of ionic transition metals, the Dithizone System. This system in considered to be so accurate that it is still being used in laboratories  around the world.

I had this test done and mine did not look like the tubes on the picture above! I am very happy and a bit surprised that mine was mostly clear since I have cracked amalgam fillings in my mouth. My test showed just a tiny hint of dark brown color that indicates a little copper. Copper is one of the toxins that are present in pesticides. There it is – I should eat more organic vegetables instead of regular ones!

Amalgam Fillings – Heavy Metals Bind Candida

Amalgam Tooth Fillings Leak Mercury – Toxic Heavy Metal

Bad news for me: I had a dental check-up today and my dentist told me that 2 of my very old silver fillings that contain amalgam are cracked! And one of them has already made a crack in the actual tooth under it as well. These fillings are probably leaking mercury into my system. And this is something I do not need. It is hard enough to get rid of Candida without having a toxic heavy metal building up in me and binding Candida to it.

Mercury along with other heavy metals such as led and silver create an acidic environment that lacks oxygen. This in turn encourages yeast overgrowth and Candida! Mercury is also linked to many serious health problems including Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. So this is a serious problem.

Next week I’m going to a Naturopath who is testing me for heavy metals. I’m sure she will now find mercury even though I did the heavy metal detox a while ago. Then I have to go to a holistic dentist who will replace these broken amalgam fillings for me. At the moment I have 10 amalgam fillings in my mouth. I’m wondering if I really have to replace them all!

 

Heavy Metal Cleanse to Cure Candida

Body Detoxing Continues

I have been on the Candida diet for a couple of weeks and started taken the supplements. Already I feel better, my stomach is not bloated anymore and I think the foods I eat agree with me. I didn’t know how much wheat can drag you down! I have a lot more energy without it.

My body still needs a lot of detoxing though. Candida binds to heavy metals, so I am in need of a good Heavy Metal Cleanse:

Fourth Step: Heavy Metal Cleanse

There are many ways to do a heavy metal cleansing, such as chelation therapy, but I have chosen to do a simple and less expensive way that can be done at home. I bought Lugol’s Liquid Iodine and I am rubbing it about 4 drops on each foot at night before going to bed. It is staining my feet orange but somehow the staining is disappeared by morning. I will continue this routine for 7 days.

This is supposed to cleanse some heavy metals from the body. But if you have lots of heavy metals bound in the body other more efficient procedures may be needed. I am going to do a heavy metal testing by a naturopath after treatment of Candida is finished. I want to be sure that I don’t have anything else making me sick.

Along with this Iodine Foot Rub I am eating garlic tablets every night. Garlic as well as Chlorella ( from my supplement list) enhance heavy metal detoxification!

Do I Have Heavy Metals in Me?

Heavy metals are unfortunately all around us. So it would be a miracle if you weren’t affected by them.
Toxic metals, such as led, mercury and silver, are found in our environment:

  • Pesticides and fertilizers have heavy metals in them and then we eat the vegetables and fruits that have been sprayed and grown with these. This is why we should eat organic food!
  • Mercury is often found in fish.
  • Deodorants have aluminum in them.
  • Aluminum cookware and aluminum foil leak aluminum to foods we cook.
  • Tap water is not totally pure either; industrial and agricultural waste run off to water streams with rain water. Not even water purifying plants can filter all toxins out. I always use home filtered water to drink!
  • Antacids and other pharmacy sold drugs contain heavy metals.
  • Cigarette smoke is full of chemicals and also heavy metals.
  • Dental fillings that are made of amalgam leak mercury to the body.

 

As well as doing a heavy metal cleanse I am going to try and eliminate as many sources of heavy metals from my life as I possibly can.
