Re: Mercury

HI,
      Most of us have at some point played with Mercury.
Often, we heated things with Mercury in or on them.
Most of us tend to have an interest in science and more,
if somebody said " That wooden stick there has 50 volts across the
ends", we would say "Let's read it with a meter to prove this".

This Mercury thing we all hear about, is it so bad? How about if
somebody said "There are Mercury fumes" but you can not see them.
How about a Mercury meter, as it were.
Take a UV light shining on a flourescent screen, we know it glows.
We know Mercury has strong lines in the UV region and that any Mercury
vapor will make a shadow on the screen because it takes in the UV.

To see an interesting demonstration of this in video form (with audio)
visit  http://www.iaomt.org/merc_release.swf
Where a tooth, 25 years old with a silver amalgam filling was used,
is exposed to body temperature, yes, see the fumes. 110 degree F
as in hot coffee, the thing looks like the smoke stack of a local power
plant.

If you figure the number of list members, times the filled teeth and add
hobby or work Mercury, which does not go away without detox, it
is an important issue. A look at the video and understanding how the
fumes show on the screen is a valid science based reading, even just
having a warm drink.

So extra care should be used with outside Mercury switches, etc.
Maybe Tesla had a lot of dental work done, too?

Hi,
I looked around on the web and there is a lot of "goofy" information about mercury poisoning. Problem is, most of the "mad as a hatter" type symptoms, along with the lesser ones, have other pretty drastic symptoms too that Tesla did not seem to have a problem with. Many of them would also be typical of someone who was 80 years old... We don't have any accounts of him pouring boiling mercury all day and then going crazy with bleeding gums, blisters, and hair falling out for the next few weeks... All we have is that he was sort of strange, and apparently more so in old age... But, many genius type people as well as sub genius people are like that too... Of course, he certainly had the opportunity and means to become poisoned, but not much evidence at all that he did, or it affected his behavior. Tesla's behavior was "different" since he was a child, long before he was playing with mercury and x-rays. He no doubt came into contact with many other toxics too (ozone %:-))... But there is no way to know for sure judging from reports of his odd moments (0.01% of the time) what if any these chemicals might have caused. There is only one chance to know for sure. The Tesla museum has a lock of his hair... I guess a strand or two could be analyzed to see if it contains any odd substances in significant quantity. But mercury would have probably left his body by old age so it might not show anyway. He was cremated so little hope there... Some of his equipment is still around that could be tested for chemical contamination too. But I think we will all be old and crazy before any of that happens ;-)) 
He also suffered sever illness as a child...
I think we are going to have to accept the fact we will never know if Tesla was poisoned by any of his work. I guess he must have been a tiny bit in any case, but the real affects can never be known now. It is probably simply a case of this very smart man being simply "a little different". This subject came up to 2002 also and Dr. Wall (stork) did not think he had any of the symptoms. 
Cheers,
        Terry
