confirmation that "bone fluid" is indeed able to act as such.
I would therefore suggest that the "bone fluid" explanation, put
forward by Schriever and Diamond as a requirenment for the generation
of electrical potentials by amalgam dental fillings in the absence of
any contact with saliva, is not necessarily correct.
Would you agree?

Its hard to say. Why don't you run a few tests and find out...

Back in 1992, in a master's degree thesis which appears to be
attributed to Peter Sheridan, who was then a part-time Lecturer in the
faculty of dentistry at Sydney university, the author makes the
following declaration:
"Electrical Reading of restorations is particularly
worthless....firstly there is no consensus as to what these devices
are actually measuring and secondly, electric potentials or corrosion
rate have not been established as significant factors in the body
burden of mercury."
(For the complete article search newsgroup alt.support.mult-sclerosis
for "Peter Sheridan")
Two things strike me about this statement. Firstly, the author appears
to be suggesting that because scientists can't agree on the
explanation for the measurements of electrical potentials taken from
amalgams (remember that they can be measured in the complete absence
of any contact with saliva), then we should just forget about them!
That's not scientific reasoning!
Amalgam dental fillings are placed in children's teeth! If it is
possible to detect that they generate electrical potentials then these
potentials should be measured again and again and again!, until there
IS consensus as to what these measurements are telling us!
That is the scientific response!
And secondly, aside from the "body burden of mercury", it has not been
established either whether or not electrical potentials in amalgams
are a factor in increasing the body burden of ELECTRICAL CURRENT.
That's because it appears that the experimental investigations which
would be necessary in order to do so have never been carried out.
It is the natural function of the human neurological system to
transmit signals in the form of tiny electrical currents. However, it
is NOT the natural function of the human neurological system to be
constantly dissipating the electrical potentials generated by amalgam
dental fillings.
(Remember that the widespread adoption of metal amalgam as a material
for use in restorative dentistry was quickly followed by a rise to
prominence of psychiatric "medicine" in our societies.)
In recent years technologists have developed extremely sensitive
instruments which are able to measure neurological activity in the
human body.
However, it appears that no attempt has yet been made to detect any
difference between the neurological activity in the vicinity of teeth
with amalgam fillings and the neurological activity in the vicinity of
teeth without.
So when it comes to making up our minds whether or not to believe that
amalgam fillings are "safe", we can only judge from a position of
ignorance.

PS, I suspect that the University of Sydney did award Peter Sheridan
his master's degree. |

And that is exactly why we need Keith Walsh to run the appropriate tests
and take the required measurements. We simply can not trust this vital
research to any other person.
Does anyone out their concur with my opinion?

Oh gosh yes!
No doubt ONLY Keith P Walsh can make these measurements and determine
once and for all whatever it is Keith P Walsh has been posting about
the past 3-4 years.
Now watch, Keith P Walsh will post reams of detail on his myriad of
posts from the past.
