Question if study has been done on metals
Sun, 10/18/2015 - 12:36I just wondered and wanted to post somewhere for a researcher to potential find if there has been studies using spectrum analyzers to test the metals in patents blood and - or tissues with seizures? Searching the Internet I see that low manganese can be an issue which is a metal with high resistance (low conductivity), what if metals with lower resistance (higher conductivity) (aluminum, copper, Nitinol (nickel-titanium), etc..) was replacing manganese causing a short circuit?
My wife’s child just experienced his first seizure, he is 10. It was scary.
The whole episode got me thinking of how that can happen and seemed to me has to be electrical in the brain. I started thinking about the metal conductivity angle and then thought about that pallet extender and I believe that is made of nickel-titanium (it's metal for sure) and wanted to put this angle out there since I didn't see spectrum analysis which shows all the elements and levels of tissue or blood anywhere searching online.
I recall in the past a reason to use wood utensils is to prevent metal abortion. If you put a metal spoon in your mouth, you’ll taste it, and potential to transfer the metals to your own system. Hense it's possible his expander is introducing Nitinol to the system? He is also on methylphenidate mainly due to the school, but going to get him off that, and try some enzymes since food (sugar, cinnamon) definately affects him.
