Just for your information,in case someone may be helped by this. I got my amalgams replaced with Diamondlite last Dec. I have had many, manay problems with yeast in the past. After detoxing for a few months, I thought the yeast was much less. I started getting sloppy on my anti-yeast diet - not really sloppy, just a bit. And I eat a lot of fruit. In the spring, I got a bad case of tendinitis in my left shoulder that is still with me. I have not gone to the dr. I consider that drs. and dentists have caused most if not all of my health problems. I have to be desparate to go back. I did go to my naturopath who did acupuncture which did no good. I have tried freezer packs, heat, and castor oil packs - all to no avail. Because I was getting serious bloating every night, I finally decided to go off of all sugar of any kind, fruit included. Boy oh boy, did my shoulder start to ache! And my right shoulder started to ache, as well as my elbows, wrists, hips and knees. This is not your regular arthritic joint pain - it is just like the tendinitis pain I have been having.--very inflamed. I pondered why this was happening just when I had cleaned up my diet even more than it was. And then it hit me! I'm herxing! The candida are dying and casting off their toxins and causing nasty inflammation. Sure enough, I looked on the internet, and candida is known to cause tendinitis! Not only that, but I have read previously that people with hypothyroidism (like me) sometimes are plagued with tendinitis. So, could the hypothyroidism be caused by yeast? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
