Re: ALS at seventeen years old?

While it is certainly a good idea to get rid of those amalgams, that may not be as much of a priority as you think.  In addition, you are awfully young to be self-daignosing yourself with ALS.  I suggest that you do a regimen of natural cleansing, perhaps preceded by a water fast, and detoxing (cilatro, chlorella, parsley and apple pectin all help remove any heavy metals you may have) and then take a good look at your diet.  Your name implies that you are a raw vegan.  You have to really know what you are doing to get all the essential nutrition needed for optimal health if you are going the raw vegan route. You really might want to seriously consider adding some wild caught salmon and deep water fish, organic cage free hens and eggs, raw goats milk, and even a bit of organic grass fed free range beef, perhaps consider a superior all around vitamin, mineral and nutrient combo such as intraMAX and even a superfoods powder.  If I were you I would make sure that I got plenty of whole food derived magnesium, selenium, GTF chromium, and silica.  So many of us are deficient in one or more of those (most of us are deficient in all of those when it comes to the amounts needed for optimum health).  With those items, and the omega 3's, folate/B12's, etc that your diet may not be supplying, your health may make quite a remarkable turn-around.

I very, very seriously doubt that you have ALS.  It isn't something which usually appears, disappears and then comes back again.  Especially not at 14 or 17.
