OT - CACI facials with amalgams

[Guest guest]

This is very much off-topic, yet it might be relevant to some others. As a very

tired and aging mother (sigh), I have a real interest in the so-called CACI

facial, which uses electric current to contract and tighten facial muscles. God

bless anything non-invasive and which doesn't require re-mortgaging the house to

help me look and feel fresher! BUT you all may be about to jump all over me for

thinking of using a current on my face with amalgam fillings. Do any of you know

if the current releases mercury? I've tried a Google search, with no results,

and I've never heard that it does, but there's tons I don't know in life. I'd

really appreciate anyone's knowledge or likely guesses on this.

Many thanks,

Abbie

I can tell you that having gold and amalgam in the same

mouth is a " no no " , and it is because it sets up some

electrical current which causes MUCH increase in the

mercury released. I've read this a number of times,

and the non-amalgam dentist I went to also said that

he would not put gold in my mouth, even temporarily,

with amalgam next to it. (I was getting a new gold

crown and half done with getting amalgams replaced).

Now, I do NOT understand about metals and currents,

so, for all I know the current with your CACI facial

may be " different " . I would not know.

good wishes,
