: Damn, for almost a week I have been forgetting to
: post about my recent experience. So, since
: I finally remembered;
:
: Not long ago I started noticing that when I would
: play the guitar I was missing a lot of the strings.
: Also I was doing weird stuff like bumping into
: the edges of doorways on occasion,
: instead of gracefully passing through them.
: Sometimes when standing still, it would feel like
: my feet were sliding apart in this kinda weird
: almost spinning sensation. Sometimes numbness
: in the hands.
:
: Anyway, finally, it dawned on me that perhaps
: 30 years involved in electronics with a good
: 20 of them heavily involved in prototyping guitar
: amp designs, might have taken it's toll.

: That's just stupid. For a definitive control, go to your doctor and
: tell him you need a heavy metals screening. Check for lead, mercury,




: and cadmium.
:
: You'll likely find very little. Metallic form lead is not
: dangerous, and the lead alloyed in solder even less so. Cadmium has
: been out of use in dangerous form for a long many years now... decades
: even.

: So I did some
: research online and discovered that indeed my symptoms
: just might well be those of lead poisoning.

: To make a long story short, for the last couple
: of months I've been munching mass quantities
: of Cilantro, about 1 bunch/day.
: Also I've been supplementing with selenium.
:
: You can hurt yourself by taking too much of many vitamins. E and
: selenium are just a couple. You should take no more than that found
: in a normal multivitamin.
:
: Both supposedly have chelating agents in them that
: can help rid the body of metals.
:
: Better off merely getting a blood screening to find out if any of
: your actions are even warranted at all.
:
: Anyway, after about 2 month's of this, I am noticing
: my coordination has improved immensely
: when playing the guitar, and no more
: weird numbness or spinning sensations as of late.
:
: Hahahaha... ever heard of placebo response?
:
: How about psychosomatic illness?


Sure I've heard of such things.
I've also heard of arrogant assholes.
Enjoy your superiority, and go **** yourself.
