Agreed Maggiemae---check this out from jpepper--thing is it is like Dr. Staninger said in the begining---I just don't think folks want to believe it because it frightens them.
And this by IEEE EXPLORE, Conductive polymer "molecular wires" increase conductance across artificial cell membranes Widge, A.S.; Jeffries-El, M.; Matsuoka, Y. Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2004. IEMBS apos;04. 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Volume 2, Issue , 1-5 Sept. 2004 Page(s):43330 - 43333 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/IEMBS.2004.1404205 Summary:Highly intimate contact between an electrode and a living neuron is strongly desired by both basic neuroscientists and engineers seeking to develop more effective neural prostheses. The net resistance between electrode and cell must be decreased in order to improve the quality of recordings and deliver the minimum necessary stimulating current specifically to the target cell. The ideal situation would be to establish chronic intracellular contact, bypassing the resistance of the cell membrane and the surrounding tissue. We present here evidence that regioregular polythiophene conductive polymers increase the electrical conductance of an artificial lipid bilayer that simulates a cell membrane. Our initial data on its behavior suggest that the polymer is freely diffusing within the lipid phase. This implies that these polymers, if tethered to a larger microelectrode, could permit long-term sustainable intracellular stimulation and recording. We therefore believe that this new molecule, when further developed, has the potential to significantly improve the performance of existing chronic electrode systems and possibly to enable new types of biosensors.

Thanks for this post and the links, CR It took me about three months to remove something similar out of my ears several months ago. After it was removed, the musical tones, pressure, and sleepless nights stopped.

Hi Shubot,
Lucky you! I get these crystals that grow and push out towards the ear--so even if I can grab them--I am unable to pull them out intact because of the direction. They just seem to keep coming back--
Thanks Shobot for the responses --this helps more than you know!
Many Blessings, CR

Yes, they are really hard to get out and they do keep coming back. I kept at it and now they do not come back any more. I kept telling my husband that I felt like I had antennas in my ears and he just thought I was goofy and no one ever had a problem like that. I showed him the website you posted, and he read it. I think he believes now.
