I'm relatively new to the world of homeopathy, I've read quite a lot on the subject in recent weeks, and I keep encountering this phenomenon of aluminium intolerance or poisoning: this is something I've never heard of before although I would be led to believe by the literature that a significant amount of people suffer from it. What are typical signs or manifestations of this "allergy?"

Aluminium poisoning is more often chronic poisoning rather than 'allergy', which is rather an immune response.
Mainstream medicine knows that the aluminium poisoning symptoms resemble Alzheimer's Disease. Of course, homeopaths would study Alumina in the Homeopathic Materia Medica for the much much more detail list of symptoms and toxicology.

Are there any links on this subject or books? I am trying to educate others, but is difficult without sources to back me up.

Dr Foubister has quite a section in his book

as do several old Homeopaths like Marjory Blackie and Dorothy Shepherd

There is info in a book called Nutritional Medicine by Dr Alan Stewart

There are many many references on the web and medline and DAily Mail in UK on Monday featured it along with Flouride

Sorry to disappoint but what starts as toxicity becomes Allergy >>>>>>>I know I live it and have for 20 years

A cross between Alzheimers/ Rheumatoid arthritis add on nausea and diarrohea and constipation plus cobweb over the face, tingling of the tongue,,,,,,insects boring there way out of joints ,,,,,,brain being squeezed or pressed down hard , grey palour, loss of weight etc etc

Basically its an insidious toxin which builds up in susceptible people over many years but if really astute you can pick up the signs in young children

Alumina is a common remedy and can be found in any Materia Medica. Just jump to the Library Section of HomeopathyHome.com for more info.

Oh Pat, that sounds really dreadful . Isn't there a homeopathic remedy that can counteract the effects of aluminum?

Well I have yet to find a constitutional one to stop me reacting to it

But Sulphur clears toxins from the body

I take a selection of Alumina.......Alumen >>>>>>Nux Vom .......and the occasional chel/cham/carbo mix

For me its a case of clearing the liver and then counteracting the symptoms

Basically I avoid anything cooked in or near Aluminium like the plague

I had aluminum toxicity- the symptoms for me included hypothermia of the entire body, icy coldness of the feet which would rapidly result in a sore throat, and loss of memory. I took Lycopodium over a period of a year and this winter I was warm and thinking much better.

Pat Davis informed me back then to check my pots and pans with a magnet- if it doesn't stick to the pot, the pot is aluminum. I was very surprised to learn that my heavy black pots were aluminum.

Glad your feeling better Debra .........yes they hide Aluminium in everything

Use only STAINLESS STEEL or GLASS

Dont forget Non Stick Lining is Flouride and this in or on everything causes the body to uptake Aluminium at 100 times the rate also both Aluminium and Flouride damage the Thyroid
