Re: Conduct Electricity?

Hi Loni,

According to this, it does - although if this ranking is accurate, it is a

weaker conductor of electricity than several other materials.

The second column represents conductivity, I think:

_of_various_materials

I am surprised to see mercury relatively low on this list - below minerals like

calcium, zinc, and iron.

Here's another page that lists the thermal conductivity of various metals (it

appears that thermal conductivity corresponds to electrical conductivity).

Again - Stainless Steel seems to have a pretty low number:

Here's yet another page that generally cororborates things - although the

specific rankings appear to be slightly different. Again - surprised to see

EVIL mercury so low:

all metals do. Scroll down to the chart to see how much.

Does Stainless Steel conduct electricity?

Hi Lizzie,

It definitely sounds like you bring up a lot of great points about these

amalgams. Yeah - I knew that " silver " fillings were composed of metals other

than mercury. It's just that - given the intense focus on mercury as such a

destructive poison - and given the fact that it often seems to be implicated as

playing a (strong) role in electrosensitivity - it surprises me to see it that

low on the list of conductivity (behind such minerals as zinc, iron, calcium -

and even magnesium - if one of those sites is to be believed).

And a lot of the anti-amalgam outrage seems to focus squarely on mercury - not

the other metals that comprise the amalgam. I guess I just assumed that it was

(mainly) because mercury is the metal that is the metal that vaporizes and

" sneaks " into places all over the body. I'm not sure to what degree the other

metal constituents of the amalgam " poison " the body - I guess I've been focused

too much on mercury (thank in no small part to the expertise of anti-mercury

crusaders such as Dr. Andy Cutler).

And I thought - or maybe I just assumed - that when dental fillings were

discussed as a role-player in e.s. - people were talking about the mercury in

the fillings most of all. I mean - I knew that there are other metals in those

fillings (like silver) that are strong conductors of electricity - but I guess I

just sort-of assumed that mercury that was lodged in the brain may be an

important factor in the " head " symptoms, at least. But, according to the

conductivity rankings - other metals play a stronger role. I mean, I think we

may have higher concentrations of iron and calcium (just to name two substances)

in our bodies than we have mercury.

I guess mercury does the bulk of its damage through its strongly pro-oxidant

properties. The damage occurs much more via oxidation than electrical

conductivity. Metals like zinc may be much stronger conductors of electricity -

but they aren't as pro-oxidant (zinc is actually anti-oxidant).

I guess - if amalgams cause/contribute to e.s. - it could make a lot of

difference just by removing the fillings (I'm not talking about chelation - just

removal of the fillings). I wish I were in a position to have mine out - I

swear, I wish the criminals who decided that mercury/metal fillings were " safe "

could be prosecuted.

Looks like it will be a lot more difficult - to say the very lest - getting

these fillings out than it was putting them in. Since pretty much all of my

fillings were placed in the '80s and early '90s - I suspect I have the

" superpoison " high-copper versions...
