Candida Albicans is a systemic fungal infection and latest studies discuss the interdependency between fungi and heavy metals in the body. [4]
According to the research around 80% of people who suffer from symptoms of Candida show elevated Mercury levels in their intestinal tract; it is suggested that the growth of the fungus may even be the body‘s immune response to Mercury poisoning because the fungi connect with the heavy metal therefore providing a safe storage.
Regardless of what came first, the heavy metal poisoning or the fungal infection, by evacuating Mercury, Zeolite can help to alleviate Candida Albicans infections. Cleansing the gut from heavy metals improves the environment in the body. A healthier milieu is an unsuitable breeding ground for fungal growth.
Further, several published studies have demonstrated that Zeolite (Clinoptilolite) binds a range of myco-toxins (toxins from fungi), benefiting not only the health of animals that have been fed Zeolite. [5] Acting as an antimycotica, Zeolite is also used in preparations for humans to help with fungal infections. [6]
