Can mercury from amalgam fillings or other toxic metals interfere with thyroid function?
Yes. Mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminium, nickel, and other common heavy metals can all cause thyroid damage. If you suspect toxic metal interference, the best course of action is to detoxify first with chlorella and cilantro extract. I would also suggest you complete an intestinal detox program. If you have more than a few mercury amalgam dental fillings you may wish to consider having them removed by someone that is adequately trained in such procedures. This should be performed under the direction of a naturopath that knows how to assist your body to detoxify mercury before, during and after the dental procedure. Once this once complete then Thyrodine would have a much better chance of helping your body to restore thyroid function.
