Since placidtrucker47 only has one single post under their belt, I'm sure they’re a seasoned veteran here... But honestly, it doesn't matter—I'll try to answer those who actually care about the physics. To complete an electrical circuit, you need a closed loop. Essentially, if the positive source is in your right hand, the current travels through your body—passing straight through your heart—and exits via the left hand touching the negative terminal of the device. The human body varies wildly from person to person; people can feel voltages starting at just 1 Volt and going much higher, depending entirely on whether we're talking DC or AC and what the frequency is. Crucial factors include the amperage and, of course, how long the shock lasts. Some people are incredibly sensitive—there are cases where even 12V could be fatal under specific conditions—while others might shrug off several thousand volts... Just don't go playing scientist like Luigi Galvani. An electric shock can trigger cardiac fibrillation—correct me if I'm wrong on the technicalities, doctors... That's when the heart starts racing uncontrollably, which can lead to death. At that point, you'd need to defibrillate the heart with another shock—if someone's lucky enough to be brought back, they live; if not, well, goodbye.
Bottom line: Our friend placidtrucker47 heard something about this topic somewhere and is now just poking both the experts and the amateurs to see who bites. placidtrucker47 is probably just some corporate clone... And frankly, that's more of a psychiatric issue than a scientific one.
Lisa Ortiz17 The book is titled *Cannibalism in the Andes*—though, depending on where you pick it up, the title might be translated differently...
Look, humans set themselves apart from the rest of the animal kingdom through sheer intelligence—it’s what allows us to dominate both our diet and our survival strategies. If circumstances shifted overnight, which group do you think actually makes it? Is it the ones who turn their noses up at using other animals, or the ones who'll just sit tight waiting for the next shipment of canned goods to arrive? And while we're on the subject of vegetarians: If I were a vegetarian, I’d have some serious things to think about—because plants have systems, they have roots, families, offspring... and I'm certain it hurts when you rip away a leaf or a fruit. Where is your sense of morality?
1. When you look at hardwood, laminate, or any kind of flooring where the final layer is a clear coat—that coat is the varnish. If that specific varnish happens to be manufactured using toxic chemicals, then the entire floor becomes a health hazard, regardless of what’s underneath... it doesn't matter. 2. Varnish has this tendency to build up a static charge—it fluctuates depending on the environment and the other materials in the room—which means it either acts like a magnet for dust or pushes it away, depending on its polarization. 3. So, what exactly do we expect from carpets or similar products? Are we looking for something that traps dust until the next time you shake it out? Or should we expect synthetic fibers to behave just like varnish—either attracting or repelling particles based on their charge? Everyone is going to choose whatever they feel works best for their own home. 4. My take is simple: the smoother the surface and the easier it is to wipe down with a damp cloth, the less dust you'll end up breathing in.
Casey Palmer5 said:I’m worried that electrolysis doesn't work very well with AC current—if at all—but I guess those are just technicalities. So, let me get this straight... it pulls heavy metals and grease right through the pores in your feet? It stabilizes blood sugar, lowers blood pressure, and cures random ailments? If it also brewed my morning coffee and guaranteed me a night with Kim Kardashian, I'd be first in line to buy it.😉
Honestly, I don't think the issue is whether you're using DC, AC, or even pulsed current—adjusting that is actually pretty straightforward, and galvanic therapy has been a known thing for nearly a century now. The real question is: is it actually possible for such a basic procedure to heal you or selectively flush out toxins? To me, that sounds incredibly far-fetched... almost too easy. If you ask me, this is nothing more than another clever marketing gimmick.
Amy Davis said:I’ve heard about that. Apparently, it works on the principle of electrolysis—basically pulling toxins out of specific organs through the pores in your feet. The color of the water supposedly changes depending on which organ is being targeted. If you have high cholesterol, you’ll see fat floating in the water. And for smokers? The water usually turns pitch black. Supposedly, after enough sessions, things like blood sugar and blood pressure can even stabilize, along with a few other issues. I don't know the rest of the specifics.
Is she serious? Did someone actually witness all those harmful substances dissolving into the water, or is this just talk? I’m not saying it’s impossible to engineer such a thing—it technically could be done—but I find it hard to believe it’s a legitimate, pre-planned medical reality. It sounds way too much like science fiction...
In theory, using overnight contact lenses as a sort of mold—essentially reshaping the cornea into its ideal form while you sleep—could actually work. I mean, the concept makes sense... but I have absolutely no clue how this plays out in practice, or what kind of side effects we're looking at. Someone who has actually studied medicine, or maybe someone who’s spent time experimenting with this kind of thing, could probably give us a definitive answer here.
Any kind of movement in water—or better yet, the ocean—is fundamentally natural and incredibly beneficial. It’s actually our most primal state, much like how an unborn baby moves in the womb... just pure, fluid motion. It works more muscles and joints than almost anything else, which is why I'd recommend it to everyone—especially those dealing with physical limitations or mobility issues.
By the way, I know there are non-prescription computer glasses out there—some people have sworn by them—but I haven't risked it since they’re basically $200 disposable and you supposedly have to swap them out every few months.

Glasses exist, and depending on who makes them, they can be pretty decent for sensitive eyes or cheap monitors. They work similarly to sunglasses, and some even feature an electrostatic coating—though I'm not entirely sure how much that actually matters; according to some, it's irrelevant. But the idea that you have to replace them every couple of months... 😂 I mean, come on. It's not like they're made of cheese or something... why would they just expire?
I’m surprised nobody has gotten back to you yet. I’m not entirely sure which specific densitometry test you’re referring to—I’m assuming we’re talking about bone density scans for calcium levels. Essentially, it’s a five-minute procedure—you just place your limb into the machine and it uses ultrasound technology to calculate how much calcium is packed into your bones. Every major hospital should have one of these machines on hand—honestly, even most decent private clinics... The equipment itself costs roughly $11,000, or at least that was the price tag a few years back—it’s probably cheaper now.
When I was a kid—though, to be fair, this was back when we were living in Italy—they used to give us this oil that translated roughly to "fish oil." I’m assuming that’s exactly what you guys are talking about... does anything quite like that still exist today? And how much would it actually be worth compared to those modern tablets and capsules we see now?
I figured I’d weigh in with my own experiences—both the good and the bad. 1. For the last few years, I've been using a chair I actually customized myself. It now reclines to a 45-degree angle from vertical—essentially half-lying down.
2. Armrests are non-negotiable. 3. You absolutely need a footrest for when you're reclined. 4. A headrest is a must... something like what you'd find in a high-end luxury sedan. As for the downsides—honestly, I'm not sure how to fix these issues: 1. My hands start tingling after long sessions of clicking the mouse. 2. Dealing with a sweaty back during the summer heat.
I'm looking for some advice or hearing about your own experiences regarding those last two points.
I’ve read through this entire thread, and right after James Newman4’s first post, I immediately noticed a striking similarity to one former forum member.
Honestly, I don't get why some people are coming for James Newman4—when he’s talking about water, it has absolutely nothing to do with dietary supplements or the wellness industry. 😁 Unless, of course, there is a connection: From the thread "Dietary Fiber: Multiple Benefits" "Furthermore, a higher number of these subjects were utilizing vitamin supplements."
It’s just the writing style, the registration dates, and a few other little details that seem to line up... What I'm struggling to grasp is whether James Newman4 has pivoted toward sales and marketing for "healthy water"—so if someone asks which water is the healthiest, we don't waste our time like we're stuck in a Mexican cantina, waiting through 1,000 posts just to find out which brand is being discussed. I’d kindly ask our esteemed forum member to just tell us straight away: what’s the best water? And while we’re on the subject, is nimbledriver81 done selling supplements? Because one female member specifically asked about it, and I want to make sure we point her in the right direction. Whether we send her toward the healthy water or both... I’m asking my fellow forum members to help clear up these dilemmas. 👋
Casey Palmer5 I’m glad someone finally gets what I’m saying! Seriously, thank you—it’s refreshing to find someone on the same page, unlike the rest of these people who either refuse to clean their ears at all or think they need a doctor to do it for them... 😁
Sarah Gomez52 gave you some killer advice. If I were to add one thing—just one—it would be to watch those laundry detergents you’re using on clothes and linens... and honestly, take a look at your surroundings too. You might be moving through an environment that’s more aggressive than you realize. It could be anything: a dirty car, a car seat, the restroom at work, or even the gym. It could be fabric softener, a local park, the garden, office plants, old paperwork, or someone wiping down a desk with the same dirty rag they used elsewhere... and who knows what else...
It seems like I wasn't quite understood... If you’re out there trying to clean your ears once a month, you’re probably just going to end up making the blockage even worse. But if you actually stay on top of it regularly—properly—that’s never going to happen.
Now some big-shot guru is probably going to swoop in and claim his magic little pills—or whatever supplement nonsense he’s peddling—are the answer The reality is this: beyond the broad environmental triggers that set off allergies, you have to deal with individual biology—which means you need personalized solutions. I’d suggest you try to figure out for yourself which specific foods are triggering your reactions or making things worse... see if there's a pattern. To actually do that, you’ll need to keep a detailed food and lifestyle journal—track everything from what you eat to the weather and even the temperature...
Seriously, has anyone else noticed how some people just randomly dig up a thread from a year ago... And of course, this one happens to be about supplements or pills again 😕 😁
Look, I wasn't strictly talking about chocolate—I was envisioning a mono-diet, something akin to a cheese-only regimen—which is why I had to mentally account for such an absurdly long lifespan... By the way, tooth loss is a well-documented issue among old-school sailors who spent months at sea without any decent vitamins; you see it mentioned in just about every historical logbook from the age of exploration and maritime discovery. We're talking about teeth falling out starting from the three-month mark and continuing indefinitely.
