Woman discovers mercury poisoning from 'toxic dental fillings' is to blame for crippling symptoms mistaken for MS

Maria Indermuhle, from Inverness, was diagnosed with MS 18 months after having amalgam dental fillings, made of mercury, silver, tin and copper. The fillings have now been removed and the 32-year-old is back to full health.

A woman diagnosed with MS after losing the ability to walk claims her symptoms were actually the result of mercury poisoning from dental fillings.

Eighteen months after Maria Indermuhle had dental treatment, doctors told the 32-year-old she had the lifelong crippling illness multiple sclerosis.

They warned the then 29-year-old the condition would leave her unable to walk and prepared her for a life on medication - crushing her dreams of becoming a mother.

But Mrs Indermuhle, who is from Inverness but lives in Switzerland, is now back to full health, having had the fillings she claims were responsible, removed.
