Question from YH
Hi,
Stainless steel cookware isn’t safe; nickel makes me feel stressed and makes my eyes feel stressed. Is there nickel in earrings? Are metal/silver earrings safe? How about gold earrings? And how about gold earrings that are silver? I am thinking about stop wearing earrings and let the holes heal.
Is pearcing ear lobes a good or bad idea in terms of health?
Thanks

There can be nickel in earrings.
The toxicity of metals is a whole subject in itself, something that I plan to study more thoroughly after I complete my website redesign and restructuring I am in the midst of right now. They don’t give off toxic fumes, however, they can be absorbed through the skin.
Metals can also affect health in ways that are not about toxicity. A friend of mine just recently told me about a necklace her husband gave her almost twenty years ago. She has worn it continuously since that day. She has had a lot of health problems. It turned out to be her necklace. It’s silver or gold, I don’t remember. She stopped wearing the necklace and her symptoms significantly improved.
I also seem to recall something about how piercing the body can affect energy meridians.
The body is a finely tuned instrument. Many environmental factors can affect it for better or worse.
If you think the earrings are affecting your health, don’t wear them.
