Hi Marshal: Thanks for the link.
Actually, the conversation went like this: Damian asked a question about nail growth, Steve answered first, then Peter answered.... You can tell by the # of >>> in the email. However, all that aside, I think you are right, but I don't think that the fingernails are exclusively made up of these proteins. As an example, the amount of boron found in fingernails is 4X the amount found in the bloodstream ( normal levels ). Steve is pretty certain about the role of calcium carbonate, however: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/zoo00/zoo00265.htm It's an interesting topic, and I've been looking into it a bit deeper. We can see that toxic substances in the body often find their way out of the body via the fingernails: http://www.unu.edu/env/Arsenic/Nahid.pdf Best Regards, Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marshall Dudley" <mdud...@execonn.com> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Friday, March 19, 2004 5:43 AM Subject: Re: CS>Reversing Argyria > I believe you read that wrong.
