.....in view of the latest theories regarding mercury being the underlying causative factor in yeast overgrowth - why doesn't everyone I know whos' mouths are filled with mercury fillings have candida? I just dont get it. They can all hold down jobs, have kids, exercise and live normal lives - unlike myself (riddled with candida). Is it the fact that they are dealing with it differently - is it that what we are missing?? One doctor (alternative) told me that a healthy immune system that works effeciently and is strong can deal with anything thrown at it. Seems that most folks I know - this seems to be the case. I am not saying that mercury doesnt have side-effects but if we are all sick with candida because of mercury fillings - my point is - why then isnt everyone else?? I know no-one has the answers but I would really be interested in hearing what you may think. Many thanks
