Hi Mike, There is a reference in this article with regard to the mouth acting as a Battery when it has interaction with different metals. I was actually looking for particular information on Vaccines when I found this information, which I thought was interesting. As you well know, many people who hold, swish and swallow CS still have amalgam fillings. Just passing it along for perusal. The article is long in its entirety, but historically, quite interesting.
In part. Another problem is posed by the interaction of dissimilar metals, which are, if not part of the amalgam, often found in gold crowns or other protheses next to the fillings. According to the Kieler Amalgam Gutachten-- reviewed by Birgit Calhoun (excerpts in English: http://www.zan.cc/AG5.htm)-- Loebich, the leader of the metallographic laboratory of Degussa AG, a former German amalgam manufacturer, published a report already in the 1950s warning that "...amalgam has 'caused complaints and Illnesses.'" Also according to Loebich (1955), it is not necessary that the metals in question need touch each other. Merely the presence in the mouth is enough to cause generalized malaise. Loebich says: "This can happen via two fundamentally differing pathways: Either the ions (metal salts) work as poisons, which may form from the metal (chemical Influences). Or the potential difference (voltage) effects some sort of functional disturbance in the organism (physical influence)." (Translated from the German by B. Calhoun). The author of the just mentioned web site has the following comments about the subject of differing metals: It is part of the basics of the knowledge of physics that a voltage difference, the so-called "potential difference," exists between two different metals or metal alloys. Now, if these two metals make contact, or if there is a conductor or a conducting medium, then this voltage difference is being evened out by an electrical current. In an oral cavity, which has been treated with differing alloys, appears - explained in this way - the phenomenon of the co-called "mouth battery." In order to get an idea about the "quantities" and "strengths" of this equalization of potential only this needs to be mentioned: In order to effect a stimulus transfer on a healthy neuron, the cells have to produce 95 millivolts (the so-called "action potential"). The measurements between two alloys in the oral cavity amount to up to 300 millivolts. A detailed description of how the mouth may act as a battery may also be found in an article by Jeff Clark (1997) "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? Or Mercury Poisoning?" under the title: Candida's Fire http://www.stanford.edu/~bcalhoun/amalgam.htm Mike Devour wrote: .....Though the work was carefully done, it is only a sample of one individual at one point in time. We know that variations in health, nutritional status, and genetics, at least, can influence the results. That said, it pretty clearly demonstrates that the human body is capable of excreting a meaningful amount of silver. At 5 to 15 parts-per-million it takes a whole lot of *water* to deliver enough silver to do that. A lot more, in fact, than you'd be comfortable consuming. That's why for a long time now our consensus has been to use lower concentrations, made at low current with distilled water only. The result is still highly effective, while risks should be much reduced if not eliminated. Since nobody here has tens of millions of dollars to invest in research and the people who do are more eager to suppress alternative therapies than study them properly, the only way we have to learn more is by doing our own experiments and sharing the results. There are risks in that, just as there are in all forms of health care. Learn all you can, then decide. Be well, Mike D.
