Where's a good place to find transformer oil (besides at the top
of the utility pole outside the house)? Or, what's an acceptable
substitute?



Mineral Oil (available at your local drug store).

Just be prepared for some strange looks when you purchase a gallon of
mineral oil all at once. :-O

yup, that's what I used when I got my ticket many years ago to fill up
my cantenna. Still have it in the closet but haven't used it in years!

I am a bit puzzled. IIRC, the silicone in women's breast implants
would/could/did leak and cause fairly serious health problems. Yet, Dr.
Ornitz says "Silicone oils are excellent from a health standpoint" and
Mr. Smith says: "food grade".

Could anyone take a shot at explaining this apparent dichotomy?

Inquiring minds want to know.

There are plenty of things that are inert when passing through the gut
that will be lethal if introduced directly into the body.

A friend of mine, in the medical profession, once told me there is only
3 things she knew of which the body would "tolerate" as implant
materials: teflon/nylon, glass, and some grades of stainless steel ...

I don't know, but seems like diamond would be ok, doesn't it? Others
substances? Perhaps she was only speaking of the materials she has
seen, next time I see her, I will ask ... you have me curious now.

And swallowing something is -not- being "introduced directly into the
body"? I would have thought otherwise...

I mean, "Come on!" You have to ask that?

A hypodermic needles injection is "directly." A swallowed substance is
directly introduced into the digestive tract, where it is the
assimilated into the blood ...

Another example? A bullet from a gun is "directly" introduced into the
body, a swallowed bullet is not ...

Yeah - You can Sallow a FMJ Bullet
and 'pass-it' quite nicely.

-fwiw- a Solid Lead Bullet might produce
different results in the 'gut'.

But that same FMJ Bullet 'passing-thru'
the Body could be very Lethal.
