At that time I was warned the process ofremoving the Amalgam may increase my psoriasis. Since removal my psoriasishas disappeared. I am now interested in the theory of a link to Gout. I am currently onAlly, have not had further attacks since my last heavy attack during Xmas.However must stay well away from matured cheese. Drinking 3 liters of waterper day.

My doctor wouldn't evenconsider the tests you mentioned especially the hair one. Are thesedone by a doctor or a alternative care provider? Any idea of how muchthey cost? I think back about all of those things I was exposed to asa child like lead based paint, old water pipes, DDT and asbestos inthe school celing tiles. I think a lot of problems we have show upfrom the poisoning we all have. I’ve heard of the toxicity of amalgams. My doctor wouldn’t evenconsider the tests you mentioned especially the hair one.
