CITATION FROM THE TEXT FOLLOWS: "...Five months after the completion of DA removal (29 August 1984) the patient was called for a week-long investigation at the same University clinic where the diagnosis ALS had been made. She felt now extraordinarily healthy and her health status was also confirmed by the words in her record: "The neurologic status is completely without comment. Hence, the patient does not show any motor neuron disease of type ALS. She has been informed that she is in neurological respect fully healthy." ...At the time of writing (early 1993), 9 years have elapsed since removal of the DA fillings, and the patient continues to enjoy good health...

| ABSTRACT | A case is reported of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with occupational exposure to solvents and metals. The environmental toxin theory of motorneuron disease, including aspects of epidemiological, clinical, experimental and individual susceptibility is discussed. An overall evaluation of animal and human data was made using a methodological approach developed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and a Scandinavian group of experts. It is concluded that there is a probable linkage between metals/solvents exposure and motorneuron disease. PMID: 8815363, MUID: 96274888 |
