Children on the autism spectrum usually have both candida and heavy metal toxicity. The essential candida diet where we starve out the bad bacteria by removing the bad processed carbohydrates and excess sugars that they thrive on ensures a better outcome.

However, it is lesser know that mercury will slow down the removal of candida. Mercury inhibits the body’s natural ability to fight off excess candida so it is imperative to not only do a proactive diet and candida protocol, but this must include heavy metal detoxification.

Mercury is candida’s friend. It’s likely that one reason why candida can be so challenging to get rid of is because there is still mercury in the system. I have found that if we get rid of the mercury, candida seems to go away more easily, but first we must heal and strengthen the gut. The toxins released from heavy metals and fungus lower the body’s ability to turn the food we eat into energy.

With conventional sulfur containing heavy metal chelating methods, such as DMSA, one must exercise caution to be sure the liver is supported first and the gut has more balance prior. Sulfur may likely disturb the already weak GI tract. These drugs also deplete the body further of important minerals and allow for reabsorption of the toxins while it’s being excreted.

Mercury is known to inhibit the human body’s ability to kill Candida. It does this by preventing a type of white blood cell called neutrophils from killing the Candida fungus. These cells normally destroy microorganisms and foreign matter in the blood.

Some common sources of mercury come from our environment. The air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink all contain heavy metals. Be sure you have a high quality water filter like the one here.

Additionally, mercury amalgam dental fillings are a strong source of toxicity and the amalgams a mother has during pregnancy leak mercury into her system which is passed in utero to the growing fetus so the child can be born with mercury toxicity.

When mercury is being excreted from the body yeast will act up. By acting up I mean that it will move around the body, get into the blood stream and organs and create symptoms known as die-off. These are increased physical and behavioral symptoms such as headaches, rashes, fatigue, hyperactivity, irritability or aggression, lack of ability to focus, regression in speech, increased stimming, poor sleep, and much more.

Hopefully, the candida is dying off. This is what we want but detoxification support is essential so we can minimize the symptoms of die off. Toxin binders help to sop up the excess new toxic load being released into the body that it cannot handle without more help. Also look for hyperactivity and behavioral issues to spring up for a few days while heavy metals are excreting. It makes sense that heavy metals may move around while candida is dying.

There is a natural product called Pure Body Extra Strength, (PBX), that I have found to be extremely effective in safely removing heavy metals from the body. No minerals or otherwise beneficial compounds are removed from the body, only toxins. The toxins bypass the liver and are encapsulated once attached so that they cannot reabsorb into the colon upon excretion. Pure Body extra strength comes in a sublingual spray that tastes like water so it is easy to give to children.

During this FREE five-day action plan, discover natural strategies to improve your child’s communication, social skills, behavior, and overall well-being.
