I just wanted to mention that I've tried dozens of different probiotics in my life, and I've had great success with Mt. Capra brand Caprobiotics + Plus. They are cultured in fresh, raw goat's milk, and I feel a substantial difference with them in my supplement repertoire. Also, they make a superb enzyme formula. I order them both online from vitacost.com. Good luck, everyone! Great article, and so true.

Yep, it came back positive for toxic levels of 8 metals. So now I'm doing oral chelation for that. Another indicator of heavy metal toxicity was bloodwork showing my adrenals were exhausted from trying to "deal with" something on board in my body.

That is why I am in the process of cleansing the body of them through muscle response nutrition therapy with my chiropractor. I highly recommend it.

I have struggled with Candida for a few years and am now going on 1 year free of sugar (and very little fruit and grains). I wish I could occasionally have a piece of cake or an entire bananna, but if I do I immediately get a flare up. Has anyone done research about heavy metals? I have a feeling they can keep you from getting rid of candida. If that's the case, the next order of business for me (once I give birth, since I'm pregnant) will be to go on a heavy metals cleanse! I too am praying for an answer. Although I never want to go back to being a sugarholic, I don't like having to eat like this either. yeastinfectionadvisor.com is a good site for reference.

I've been trying to learn more about candida for the last few years. I too have been over dosed with anti-biotics in the passed, with a cure to no prevail. It became clear that if I wasn't helping my body deal with what causes the infections in the first place, I might as well add antibiotics as a new course for every meal. I am going to order some grass-fed ghee . . . I've heard about it . . . but it caught my eye on your post and I think I'll add that to my home. Thanks! Thanks so much for your post.
