Posted by: " Michele " talithamichele@... michele_in_california Thu Sep 27, 2007 8:46 pm (PST) Having amalgam and gold in the mouth at the same time increasied the rate at which the mercury causes problems., particularly if they touch each other. S S Hi, Yes, I still have some amalgams. I have less than I used to because I have lost a number of large molars -- they were surgically extracted, some after having failed root canals. I also have a crown and a gold bridge. So I still have lots of metal in my mouth. But there has been no significant change in that recently. I am just puzzled and wondering what is going on. I live in Georgia where it is generally pretty humid. Yes, fall is coming and it is somewhat less humid but I don't feel like the weather is dry enough yet for this to suddenly be happening. I am getting shocked closing my car door sometimes, something I don't think has EVER happened to me. Thanks for your feedback. :-) -- Michele _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks . Just as an aside, I don't think the amalgams and gold directly touch. The gold is the base of the bridge. The visible part of the bridge looks like teeth (they look so real, I sometimes have trouble telling where to floss because I have trouble telling where the real teeth stop and the fake teeth start). But my dilemma is this: I haven't had dental work done recently, neither to add nor remove anything. So as far as I know, the amount of metal in my mouth has not recently changed in any way that would cause this recent, sudden increase in how much I get shocked. So I am wondering what else contributes. I am wondering what minerals contribute and I am also wondering what supplements or foods might help make my body more grounded as an antidote to this issue. Any thoughts on that? -- Michele talithamichele@... http://www.atraceofme.com If the base leaves, everybody loses: http://www.solanorail.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you get an HEPA air cleaner, there wont be so much stuff in the air to collect on things, so it will be easier to brush out. I could see how poodles would attract a lot of dust. Its just like any hair, rugs, etc. Mold does not 'create static electricity' When air is dry, charges build up on things that move. Pointy objects like hair attract more dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Dr. Shoemaker associates the high incidence of electric " shocks " with changes in the body's water balance. It has to do with osmolality and anti diuretic hormone--but that's all I know. In addition, a very dry environment will cause shocks too. As for your Standard Poodle (my favorite breed, I'm biased we had ours for 14 years), the fine hair mats very easily. That's why we kept ours trimmed shorter. > > I've read somewhere that some of us, that have been made sick by the > toxins mold creates, build up static electricity in our system.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi Ann, There is no way static electricity would be health related. Most likely it's related to the shoes you wear. It might be related to the clothes you wear or the detergent you use to wash them but I'd guess the shoes would be the first thing. Furniture covering would be my second guess. I remember a story about 30 years ago of a man who got a new office chair and every time he got out of it, the friction between his clothes and chair would generate so much of a static charge that if he touched something metal, it would just about knock him across the room. What I do in the winter is carry my keys around alongside on a chain instead of putting them in my pocket so I can hold onto the keys and touch something metal (file cabinets, metal doors, doorknobs etc.) to discharge the static charge. Spreading out the charge over your whole hand while holding onto something like keys, an aluminum can, etc. reduces the shock you feel when it sparks.
