8. Please let me know when the Multiple Sclerosis Society...
...accepts your explanation for the cause of the disease, won't you?

http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Sourcebook-Heavy%20Metals.asp

While the cause of MS remains unknown, there is no evidence that heavy metal poisoning is responsible. There have been some claims that mercury leaking from amalgam dental fillings damages the immune system, and causes a broad range of diseases, including MS, by contributing to the demyelinating process. A demyelination process destroys the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerve fibers.

There is no scientific evidence to connect the development of MS with dental fillings containing mercury. Although poisoning with heavy metals—such as mercury, lead, or manganese—can damage the nervous system and produce symptoms such as tremor and weakness, the damage is inflicted in a different way and the course of the disorder is also different.


Oh, and one more thing:

Hal Huggins is a proven liar, quack, fraud, and thief.
