Perhaps we should drop MS from the title of this subject.  As several 
people have pointed out, mercury fillings are not THE cause of MS, or, to 
anyones knowledge THE only cause for many other chronic disablities.  For 
more information about chemical sensitivity, and the various effects it 
can produce, call Dr. John Davies, ad the Laboratory Centre for Disease 
Control, Health and Welfare canada, and ask for the special edition of 
their magazine on epidemiology which is due to being released.  It is on 
the subject of chemcial sensitivities.
Davies is at (613) 957 0318.  For other searches, look in any medical 
database under chenical sensitivity, chemical susceptibility, and so 
on.  YOu would be well advised to stay clear of the fragmented and 
polarized argument between allergists and so-called clinical ecologists, 
and the rather speciaous work of Dr. Abba Terr, of the U.S.  I have given 
other references in other postings.

you may be interested to get an immmenent report from the Canadian 
Laboratory centre for Disease Control, on Chemical Sensitivities, from 
Dr. John Davies, (613) 954 0318.  There is also a report available from 
Nicholas Ashford of M.I.T., or Claudia Miller, of UofTexas, done for the 
New Jersey State Deportment of Health, both on chemical sensitivities.

If you have shortwave capabilities on your radio or if you have
access to one, tune in to 7520 Khz in the evenings -- there is a
call-in show there where this is often discussed.
