If so can 2 fillings cause copper toxicity?
I ask because when I take zinc I feel a little better, and my thyroid starts to work. My body temp goes from 35.6 to 37, when I take 100 to 150mg zinc daily.- Re: do Amalgam fillings contain copp... Eric11

This is a reply to # 1,846,249Here's what wikipedia has to say:
Currently, dental Amalgams are composed of 43% to 54% by weight of mercury and the remaining powder is made up of mainly silver (~20-35%)[2] and some tin, copper (~10%), and zinc (~2%).
I had recent thyroid problems which were helped by taking a bit of Iodine every day. Have you considered Iodine supplementation?- Re: do Amalgam fillings contain copp... MickLabib

I have a wierd thyroid problem, I went to 3 drs and none of them knows what is wrong with my thyroid. It looks like hypoT, and it's causing severe dry eyes.
When I take zinc picolinate 100mg daily, I feel much more better I don't know why. My eyes are less dry, my body temp fall within normal ranges. But I have to take it twice daily so I take 50mg twice with food.
I'm just worried that this would be too much zinc, I already ge 10 to 15mg daily from the multivitamin (Nature's Way Alive).
Iodine? I take around 150mcg to 450mcg daily! just started. But I think my thyroid problem is bigger than that. I think it's candida, mercury and probably root canal and malnutrition too all combined.

But you can have copper overload from chronic viral infections or illnesses (such as EBV, HSV1/2, CMV, etc).
You may also want to investigate pyroluria if your responding to zinc.
Taking 100 mg of zinc daily is fine for most people for a month or two. After that, you may want to reduce the dosage to half or less.
What other symptoms do you have besides low body temp?
