Hello guys, I just have been putting together a timeline of events. My problem may not be candida, but it maybe mercury poisoning or a sulpher problem. A little over a year ago when I fell ill, I remember I was drinking spirulina powder(smelled horribly) and taking MSM powder. I went to the doctor sometime later, because I felt I was urinating like I should. Everything came back fine far as my kidneys, but he found strep in my throat, and I had NO symptoms of this, and none during or after treatment. Anyway, I took the antibiotics for 10 days, and on my 7th and 8th day I doubled my ...
