Hi Johnny. Thanks for your thoughts. Very interesting and much appreciated. I too had EBV/Glandular Fever and suffered a downward spiral of ill health ever since - although I was never well before the virus took hold. I keep trying to work back in time in the hope of discovering why I am immune-compromised and what happened to make me this way or if indeed I was just born genetically weak. There must be something way back that determind the state of my health - whether that be immunisations (as a baby), mercury fillings or Antibiotics - but I still know of others who have had all this and more besides and are still well! Very frustrating. I appreciate that there are people who have recovered from candida by removing their Amalgam fillings in the same way I appreciate there are people who have recovered from candida by liver flushing...but my own personal feeling is that the roots of candida go way deeper than this. These still all seem like symptoms to me - but I truely hope you all proove me wrong. Thanks again
