I left this message on the screen for several days, but I think I'd suggest you skip using it at least while actually taking chelating agents if not at all times, especially if you have any bothersome symptoms of the sort described under the " silver " section of the hair test interpretation book ( www.noamalgam.com/hairtestbook.html ) If anyone can come up with some corrosion data on silver regarding rate of film formation, etc. I might be able to fudge up a very crude estimate of exposure from using it while NOT chelating, but I don't think I could do so while chelating without actual data on the rate of attack of silver by the chelator in question. My initial knee-jerk reaction actually was to say not to worry about it but I'm not as comfortable with that on some thought than I am with erring on the side of being overly cautious.

Thank you for all your hard work! I was wondering about the silver because I'm careful not to leave it long in foods. I simply like to keep it shiny, polished. It sure " looks " a lot less like it's " shedding " its elements when it's not black or off-color from tarnish. In fact the silver polish offers some measure of protection it creates a thin film? I only use the silverware to eat, not cook, and the contact of silver with mouth and/or food is pretty minimal. I've always been able to " taste " metal from cheap stainless steel and since I had to leave a lot of my possessions at home, like good quality stainless, I opted for using the family heirlooms :-) ~robin PS I do like the Bluebloods comments though. hee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Also, I doubt it's a good idea to wear " pierced " jewelry while chelating, especially silver in the ears or other body parts. I've never liked the feel of metal, felt it was an " energy " thing. Even my watch has always had a leather band. ~robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
