Hi everyone!

Should I remove my amalgam fillings? I have been suffering from so many symptoms and the doctors say I am 'healthy'. I have severe fatigue, dry eyes, pains in muscles and joints, burning skin and sore throat. I don't have any autoimmune disease, but my autoantibody (ANA) testing shows elevated numbers. Also my TSH is elevated, but I don't have thyroiditis either.

Could this be amalgam related? Or candida? Both?

Thank you!

We certaiinly cannot diagnose you on this forum, but I can say that your symptoms are commonly associated with heavy metal toxicity and could be associated with aluminum.

I would search this forum and read about others who have similar symptoms and try what they've done. You just may find the answer you're searching for.

In case you're interested, here is a link to my personal story. Perhaps it will help as well:

Welcome to this forum and please feel free to post questions or comments anytime.

Elevated TSH is often an indicator or mercury toxicity. Fatigue could be caused by low T3 (which is often undetected by conventional thyroid tests).

If you choose to have your amalgams removed, be sure to have it done correctly or you could become very sick. Here is a link to some detailed information that may help:

Hope this helps, and again... Welcome!

Thank you Russ for your advice!

I already have an appointment with a biodentist. I'm anxious to hear what she has to say.

I still have one question about aluminum - how could that be effecting my health? I don't use much that kind of deodorants nor do I cook food with aluminum pots/pans.

The main thing I know about aluminum is that when it is combined with mercury, the combination is much more toxic.

Dr. Haley, Chemistry Chair at the U. of Kentucky says the combination is many-times more toxic than either alone.

I have not confirmed this but a source that I know and trust told me that public fixtures, such as hand rails, have been made illegal in the EU in the past year because of what we now know about aluminum. The US is behind many other countries in health-related law.

Wow I never thought about aluminum railings, guess we will have to be extra cautious about things like that now too.
