A better question would be why you want to know what my interest is. The question is too vague to try and answer anyways. Unless you want a philosophical discourse on what makes humans curious.
I took an old silver coin I had a shaved some specks off with a file. Found out that silver bonds readily to bone tissue in particular (as does beryllium, copper, & lead ).
Its understood that the body is electric so I'm experimenting with that for various reasons. I'll try to notice any changes or differences I might experience and see what I come up with. Ingesting more copper than normally occurrs in the diet will probably be something else I try as well. I also have a very slow healing wound from a badly smashed fingernail. I will test that as well by applying silver compound externally under the nail and stimulating with electricity to see if healing goes any faster by any noticeable results. Should be fairly interesting I think.
