None of which makes much sense to me. Presumably by removing your mercury fillings and detoxing you diluted the mercury in your body - so how come your problems didn't get worse? There is microscopic trace amounts of mercury in drinking water in some parts of the world - should we add more to make it less dangerous? Would only work if it was our intention to cure people of mercury poisoning? Personally I've allways found two aspirin better than one asprin for a hangover.

Nor to most people - the implications are vast.

Prevoiusly on this thread I explained the difference between gross poisoning by substances, which is what the world understands and which leads to this kind of question;
and potentised preparations of same, too extremely dilute to have any gross effect, but whose traces or 'history' in the carrier medium - water - serve as a reminder signal to reactivate and get an overwhelmed and confused immune system back on track, to deal with the original poisoning. The signal can be in that form - an ingested physical preparation from the substance - or it can be in the form of an electronic 'simulation' of same, as it's the complex of frequencies, harmonics, interferences (something like holographics) that are characteristic of the substance and/or the pathology it causes, that does the trick.

In essence, yes - Intention is a key part of how the universe works, for better or worse - and our common-sense experience of living provides constant evidence of this, from well-tried management 'techniques' for closing a sale, upwards.

What a despariing, benighted world to be living in!

This heat CFL thing seems to have got some of us fired up so here are my words of wisdom on this hot topic. If you've already covered this........sorry!

Most power stations that burn anything to generate electricty do so to raise steam which then turns turbines. The problem is that by the laws of physics the steam cycle is only around 30% efficent therefore 70% of the CO2 produced does nothing at all to help heat your house (I guess you could argue that the CO2 causes global warming and hence heats your house indirectly!) There are other loses in the electricty distribution system which brings the total efficiency down to about 22%. A good gas boiler is around 85-90% efficient. So using elctricty for heating whether by light bulbs or resistive heating when there are other fuel sources available is as enviromentally un-friendly as you can get! Unless of course your electricty is generated from hydro, wind etc. (the best deisel/gas turbine gensets are only 40% or so effiicient)
