Agreed not good idea to use plated needles, I don't remember where, but out at the space center there were solid silver (hardened) needles for use with some long term applications. I will have to see if I can locate them.

Some get connected to needles and some do not. Some use mille current and some use microcurrent. I don't like connecting current to needles as I have seen pictures of how needles degrade when current is run through them. In my mind that is doing more harm than good since that metal is now in the body as a toxin. Where does you son practice?
