Roger, I have a cousin who was a dentist and is now retired. He had to take an early retirement years ago due to MS "symptoms". Since his retirement he seems to be holding his own... my belief is he has no more exposure to amalgam removal. He is Canadian and I don't know what the position is of the dental community there. I have tried to discuss this with him but he is not open to the amalgam controversy. Terri
