Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hello everybody, thanks to everybody posting on this forum.. I am a 21 years old guy with a persistent case of candida, the symptoms which relate to my condition are: -chronic rashes or hives every time I heat up or exercise -very sympathetic dominant, hard to relax and take it easy even if I am tired (I guess this relates to messed up thyroid and adrenals) -have had severe acne for 4 years, very poor blood circulation in feet and hands, dandruff (every possible skin problem ) -frequent urination -small muscles and little hair growth (low testo maybe) Some psychological problems: -poor short term memory -Have been very shy throughout infancy and puberty -minor obsessiveness -feel very very mentally alert, almost like hyperactive, have no impaired cognitive abilities, however I cannot focus at all.. -bad self-esteem As I have been following the anti-candida trail for about 2 years with some degree of success (I am more outwards and easy-going, my acne has ceased, etc.) but with still subsisting hives and skin problems I am beginning to question why my candida and my symptoms have bothered me so much and won't subside. I have had one amalgam filling when I was 9 years old, however it's not there anymore, and I cannot remember if a dentist has changed it with a white composite filling. However my mother probably had 15 fillings in her mouth at the time she was pregnant with me, so I am beginning to be a little suspicious of possible mercury damage. I also broke a tooth, replaced with nickel crown. Have had lots of immunizations and vaccines. In addition to that I have had recurrent pneumonia (first time when I was 2 y.o.) with antibiotics as treatment. Although I have taken lots and lots of probiotics, anti-fungals, eat anti-candida, etc. I still feel like I haven't reached the bottom yet. I also get reactions to sulfury foods (eggs) and supplements (MSM). For 1 year ago, I had some slightly elevated ALT/AST-values (liver enzymes), been best friend with milk thistle ever since.. There seems to be so many cursors pointing towards the mercury issue, so I just need your advice regarding my situation. I have also done a hair mineral analysis (trace elements, inc.) which indicates no exposure of heavy metals in hair, but with wacked up mineral ratios, esp. ca/mg, ca/k, na/k. My electrolytes are low apart from calcium. I really need to solve this as I cannot live like this anymore. I want to exercise vigourosly and be active, and feel more confident about myself. The hives and blushing are responsible for so much misery in my life, however if I can solve my problems I would feel so relieved that a 1000 kilos are put off my shoulders... Anyone who could point out mercury's possible role in all of this? Could it hurt just to try to take ALA round the clock? Other therapies? Advice? Please, I feel like I'm near my wit's end sometimes... greetings from phil from norway (excuse if my english is not that great all the time..) Where should I start?
