ALA and Candida/joint pain

[Guest guest]

My limiting symptom is joint pain which is strongly correlated to

Candida. Diet is losing its ability to control it recently, so I am

adding new supplements like Glycine and Glutamine to help. I also quit

the DMSA to see if that helps. I'm ok with slowing chelation if I can

break the joint pain as to prevent permanent arthritis.

I know DMSA hinders neutrophils from attacking Candida. Is ALA less

likely to be a problem?

Thanks,

Hi ,

I get joint pains and arthritis too, on and off, and found it VERY

interesting what you said about DMSA hindering neutrophils etc coz I

started on ALA a few weeks ago and introduced 3mg doses of DMSA last

week with REALLY BAD joint pain for the first time while chelating,

even though I had the typical yeast response from chelation from the

beginning that only flares up now briefly when I up the dose or eat

foods that set it off (I'm going very slowly, now up to 9mg ALA). I

had attributed the arthritis to cumulative overacidity from candida

and DMSA; bicarb helped a little but each dose of DMSA would bring on

the joint pain on afresh and so would a yeast flare up from eating an

apple. I have decided to go on with ALA alone as there's no pain for

me on that and friends on another group report that use of ALA alone

as a chelator is now showing a release of ALL their toxic metals into

their hair. I am encouraged and interpret this to mean once the ALA

grabs enough of the mercury, autochelation begins. *Fingers Crossed*

I used Nizoral to get the initial yeast flare-up in line and now use

Undecyn to keep it manageable.

Kind Regards

Kelle

Very interesting!

Was the Nizoral a sugar-free oral form? Where did you get it?

What is Undecyn?

Do you drink coffee? I am recently finding it to bother the

arthritis.

Thanks,
