I don't keep anything secret. If you had the common sense to click on my name, you would find the link to my website. Why would I be making this up? Even Issacc Newton wrote extensively on the medicines from metals, and NO they are NOT poisonous, and they do NOT show any traces of metals left in the final product.

I'm not here to prove anything. I only came here to ask the chemists who are so sure they know everything about everything if they had any clue what his glowing white mercury was, but obviously you are all dumbfounded as to what it could be and have absolutely no clue what it is.

Which is exactly what I expected, but I just had to check and make sure their wasn't an easy explanation for what this could be.

As of now - 17-12-2008, 14:56:27 my time, 12 minutes after you have posted - there is no link to any website in your profile.

If you are so sure, I welcome you to put some mercury in a humidifier and have a quicksilver nasal relief  :P

nj_bartel, apparently you have assumed that when I say "mercury" I'm talking about the elemental mercury metal, but I only say mercury because that is what this white metallic stuff looks like.

And anyway, YES this glowing material will indeed kill you. But it's used to dissolve gold and make a medicine of it.

This will all be very well known very soon because I'm publishing a book with several ways to make these medicines. Only in the book, I won't say they can cure all disease...I will let the public find out on their own just how amazing this re-discovery is.

It's hard to predict something that isn't really what your friend says it is.  Just sayin'.

And that is what WP looks like if it's chemically pure and kept at low temperature so it doesn't convert to red p at all  ;)

Willy pete doesn't convert THAT fast, even at heat, AFAIK it takes quite some time, I have distilled white P using a closed glass tubing system and a blowtorch and it didn't show any appreciable coversion to red P.

And yup, I don't recommend it, boiling, bubbling WP is some really scary s#*$, and its toxicity really isn't understated.

^^Dear sir, I must insist that your superscript is incorrect and you are off by several orders of magnitude!



I'm sorry NickDC, I believe you came to the wrong forum, we are chemists here not alchemists. I should mention that I happen to enjoy reading about alchemy quite a bit, appreciating it from the standpoint of a modern day chemist and in its proper historical perspective. I still don't buy any of it!

 I take some umbrage at your statement
I'm not here to prove anything. I only came here to ask the chemists who are so sure they know everything about everything if they had any clue what his glowing white mercury was, but obviously you are all dumbfounded as to what it could be and have absolutely no clue what it is.

I don't recall claiming I knew everything under the sun, let alone a minuscule fraction of that. I also do not remember seeing anyone here claiming to know everything about everything. I would be absolutely delighted to read about and see your processes that produce results that are unknown to mainstream science. Granted, you're not here to prove anything to me, but if you don't show me how it's done, you've just contradicted yourself by proving something. I'm afraid most chemists are from Missouri.


That Cs137 note was rather cogent, especially considering what happened (I believe) in Mexico with an ampoule that was misplaced from a hospital. Quite a few suffered horrible deaths.

My mistake, it was in Brazil, different language. I must have got it confused with the Co-60 problem in Juarez, Mexico.

Here is a link: http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=234

 I'm assuming it is it was CsCl in the ampoule.

I myself have achieved such miracles with gold and other metals, and turned them into medicines which cure every disease known to man, and far greater wonders.

The world is saved!  Knowledge like that has to be shared.  Either that or it is all bull.

My friend who makes this glowing substance lives in Mexico. He claims a long lineage of people have been making this glowing white 'mercury' because it's used to dissolve other metals, like gold, down into a very special form that is used for things I'd rather not even mention here because nobody would believe me.

That made my night.  That would be a great narrated opening to a movie. hahaha
