It's an unresolved issue.

So far, all we know is that metal amalgam dental fillings generate
electrical potentials with magnitudes of up to 350 millivolts , see:
http://book.boot.users.btopenworld.com/dutch.htm

(And don't forget, it has also been shown that they are able to do
this even when they are not in contact with any saliva, see:
http://jdr.iadrjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/31/2/205)

However, it STILL appears that experimental investigations to
determine whether or not the electrical potentials generated by dental
amalgams are able to dissipate electrical energy through the nerves in
people's heads have never been carried out.

Now, in recent years technologists have developed extremely sensitive
instruments which are able to detect neurological activity in the
human body.

It should be possible to use such technology to try and detect whether
or not neurological activity in the vicinity of teeth with metal
amalgam fillings is any different from neurological activity in the
vicinity of teeth without them.

Then, if a difference is detected, it would be necessary to carry out
further investigations in order to find out whether or not there is
any direct correlation between the presence of amalgam fillings in
teeth and the occurrence of those so-called "psychological disorders"
which have become commonplace since the use of dental amalgams first
became widespread in the early part of the nine****th century.

Only then would anyone be able to make an informed judgement as to
whether the continued use of amalgam fillings in dentistry is a good
idea or not.

And that, my dear Jim Pennino, is not "trolling nonsense".

It's called "science".

PS, I didn't decline your offer. I ignored it because I didn't believe
that it was genuine.

However, if you are serious about putting YOUR money where YOUR mouth
is let me know and I'll find out for you how much one of those
instruments costs.

PPS, Any readers who may have tuned in to this thread to find out
about "mind control" might like to consider why, in spite of the fact
that anyone would have to be rather ignorant not to recognise that the
electromagnetic behavior of teeth with metal amalgam fillings should
be noticeably different from those without, it appears that there
isn't anyone anywhere in the world who knows what the electromagnetic
properties of a typical dental amalgam are.

Only in your mind.

You had a chance to resolve the issue and did nothing.
<snip babbling, repeated nonsense from years ago>

Horsehit.

You ignored the offer because you would rather whine about children
for years than actually do something.


At the time of the offer, there were several pieces of test equipment
for sale on e-bay for less than $50 US that were more than capable
of making the measurements you've been whinning about for years.

I pointed you to the equipment; no action on your part.

I offered to pay for the equipment if you made the measurements and
published them; no action on your part.

You had your chance, but you would rather whine.

The electrical potentials generated by metal dental fillings can be
measured using the type of instrument you are talking about - I've
seen it done. Typically the readings measure hundreds of millivolts.

You can see an example of the results of such measurements written
down at:

http://book.boot.users.btopenworld.com/potentials.htm

(And by the way, readings such as these are obtained when there is no
saliva in contact with the fillings.)

However, what I was talking about in my previous post is a different
kind of measurement.

What we need is to be able to quantify the neurological activity
occurring in the form of electrical impulses in the nerve fibers in
the vicinity of teeth, and we need to do this for teeth both with and
without amalgam fillings so that the two can be compared.

I do not believe that $50 is sufficient to buy the type of instrument
which is sensitive enough to carry out these measurements with the
degree of accuracy necessary for them to be useful.

That's pretty impressive.

Considering that the resistance of a filling is less than an ohm,
you're talking about hundreds of milliamps. Power somewhere in the
range of 100 mW, day in and day out, for years. The commercial
applications are huge.

Several hundred milliwatts from fillings; more than enough to power
a cell phone and iPod at the same time.

The mind boggles at the potential applications.

That's because you haven't a clue, don't want one, and would rather
whine.
