It all depends, but you will see unlikely/uncanny positive changes, certainly.
My hearing and sense of smell improved, for instance.
I used to think caffeine was what made my neck so tied-up-in-knots tight when I drank black coffee (the only way I'll take it, no fru-fru coffee for this boy) but now I can drink it without any issues whatsoever... was it the mercury, or the inflammatory grains I used to eat... or the excess sugar/carbs that used to fuel my workouts and cycling??
I say, the mercury most of all, but everything ties in together and you'll wind up retesting clear of many former allergens as time goes on, no doubt, Cookie!
In most cases, it is not a full blown allergy, it is what is called an intolerance. An allergy will cause symptoms such as swelling, hives, etc very quickly and can be life threatening. An intolerance will not be noticeable in many cases for a long time and will have lots of things tied in that seemingly have no relationship to each other.
Here is a quick rundown of how mercury is the root cause of all of this. I think I have described it before but I will do a simplified version again.
Mercury->Intestinal Bacteria die-off/mutation->Candida overgrowth ->"Leaky Gut Syndrome"->Food Intolerance->Systemic Candida infection->Glutathione/Sulphur reserves depleted->Liver/Kidney toxin filtration overwhelmed->Immune System disorders
So a little more in depth of what happens:
Mercury destroys the intestinal bacteria as it is swallowed(was used for this purpose in the 1700s, it is highly effective), and the ones that don't die off become mutated and are able to live off mercury by changing the inorganic mercury in the fillings into a highly dangerous form of mercury known as methyl mercury(the kind found in tuna). Now, here is where things get interesting.
Candida and the intestinal flora coexist in a certain balance. When this balance is normal, both of them keep the other in check, kind of like the 2 parties in Congress. When the bacteria die, the candida is able to grow uninhibited and turn into a pathogenic form(once it passes a certain point) that starts to branch out by sending little "arms" or tentacles out from its body. These tentacles then actually pierce through the intestinal wall and the candida begins to travel out of its home environment of the intestine and into other parts of the body. 5 mg of Biotin prevents these arms from taking root in a host however. That however, is not the interesting part of the equation. That comes in because the proliferation of candida actually has another side effect that the body wants. It can take the methyl mercury that is produced by the mutated bacteria and change it back into the less dangerous inorganic mercury. In a way, the body intentionally allows candida to grow to combat the mercury in the system. The candida quickly grows out of control however, and then the body fights a futile battle to try and rid itself of the extra organisms. This is a classic example of pleomorphism, in which the same organism can exist in harmony with the body under one set of internal conditions, but turn pathogenic in the same organism when the internal conditions change. This is one of the reasons why drugs will never cure any disease. The disease is
always based on a change in the internal environment of the host, usually in the internal environment becoming overly acidic. Change the internal conditions back to normal and the organism causing the disease will change back into a non-pathogenic form.
Food intolerances then occur because partially digested food is allowed to escape from the gut and into the bloodstream where it is a toxin and is attacked by the body. Any instance of this food then becomes a problem for an immune system that is "on guard" for it. The candida continue to spread throughout the body causing problems as they are not supposed to be outside of the intestines. With all these toxins floating around in the body at all times, the liver and kidneys become totally overwhelmed and unable to cope with and filter them out properly. The body's glutathione and sulphur reserves are also pretty much depleted by the mercury, so there is nothing to help get rid of these toxins. Finally after a long period of fighting, auto immune disorders start to manifest themselves and continue to get worse as the conditions remain favorable for these issues to continue.
The goal is to change the internal environment back into one that is unfavorable for the out of control growth of candida and that starts by removing the source of the problem, mercury. Then high doses of probiotics re-introduce good bacteria into the intestines and finally dietary changes and anti-fungal solutions are used to prevent inflammatory reactions by the body to this food and get the candida back under control. Once this happens, the food intolerances usually disappear as the intestinal wall integrity is reestablished.
So the steps are to:
1) Remove the source of the problem(mercury).
2) Pull the heavy metals out of the body(chlorella, cilantro, algin, PCA spray, bentonite clay, zeolite, R-ALA, Vitamin C, etc)
3) Re-establish proper bacteria flora in the intestines via probiotics and live "active" cultures in foods such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, etc
4) Temporarily eliminate common food intolerances such as wheat, dairy, nightshade plants(tomato, potato, peppers, etc), sugary foods, processed foods, etc, until body has healed itself
5) Go on an all out assault against candida:
Borax/Iodine is one of the most effective antifungals/antimicrobials known
Coconut Oil(extra virgin) is another tremendously effective candida killer
Olive Leaf Extract is another extremely potent one although you need to take it in relatively large doses
6) Normalize the immune system via Low Dose Naltrexone due to endorphin release
7) Attack inflammation internally and externally:
High EPA fish oil
Glycerin rubbed on psoriasis lesions 1-3 x daily
Cayenne pepper
Aloe Vera rubbed on psoriasis lesions 1-3 x daily
CastorOil rubbed on psoriasis lesions 1-3 x daily
Soaking in Dead Sea Salt baths 3-4 x weekly for 20 minutes
Restore proper liver functioning:
Milk Thistle
Lemon Juice
Dandelion Root
9) Provide Digestive Enzyme Support to help digest food properly
10) Provide high quantities of anti-oxidant support to destroy free radicals running rampant internally: Psoriasis sufferers were shown to have 3 times the level of endotoxins as non-psoriasis sufferers(weakened liver)
Olivenol
Chaga Tincture
Tart Cherry Juice
Pine Bark Extract
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Selenium
Wild Berry Extracts
Acai Berry
Chinese Wolfberry
Astaxanthin
Beta Carotene
Goji Berries
etc...
11) Restablish proper body pH:
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables---fruits are natures "cleansers" while vegetables are natures "builders", both are highly alkaline with a few exceptions. Animal products are highly acidic, so to balance will need to eat a ton of these. Borax is also highly alkaline.
12) Sulphur it up---body needs sulphur as mercury strongly binds to 3 molecules of sulphur for each molecule of mercury. Fresh Garlic is a great source, but might be easier, cheaper and less offensive to the females to take MSM, a highly available and cheap form of sulphur...
Its a long process, but taking back your health will definitely be worth in the long run...
