Any statistical link to Amalgum fillings?

  Is there any statistical link to Amalgum fillings and neurological disorders?  I have read stories of people diagnosed with ALS, MS, MMN, etc., that improved dramatically after haveing amalgum fillings removed.  I have also read that there is no correlation to amalgum and and disorder whatsoever.  I am a "Possible ALS" diagnosis. (symptoms - hyper reflexes, fasciculations, weakness (about a 3-), some atrophy, EMG denervation - test results and symptoms are positive in one arm only.)
  I would get my 4 amalgum fillings removed in a heartbeat if I KNEW it would help.  But its very pricy and I don't want to waste money that I may need for other things down the road if indeed I move from "possible" to "absolutely".

Dear Brian:
There is no proven connection between tooth amalgams and ALS (or any related disorder). Do not waste your money in getting them removed.
In case you have other specific questions, diagnostic or otherwise, you are welcome to seek a second opinion from Dr. Hiroshi Mitsumoto of the Cleveland Clinic. He is one of the world's leading experts on ALS and related disorders. Appointments can be made by calling [phone], or [phone] locally.
Good luck!
