RE: PMAS Precious Metal Acquisition Syndrome (Stackitis) : An unofficial Preliminary Clinical Report

[dwingsworld]

Amazingly detailed and well done @kerrislravenhill!! I truly enjoyed the depth at which you looked into this disease and it has raised several questions in my clinical mind.
First, you do point out our normal behavior of "self medicating" ; I am curious as to whether this disease slowly influences those around the one affected and if there are those in their circles that are immune to it.
Second, I would like to see if capsules affect how quickly the disease takes hold. Does this small plastic barrier have any type of reduction affect as there is no direct physical contact with the metal.
Thirdly, I would love to get more specific into which precious metals cause this. We are all aware of gold and silver, but what about copper. Is copper a contributor that may lead to the larger precious metals or perhaps someone clings to copper as their primary stack.

These are just a few, but I know there will be more. I look forward to your next peer review journal release! Thanks again!

1. Possible. In some case I’ve come across have genetic factors, and like any case, actual onset often depends on a set of factors rather than a single factor. An individual may have a strong mental barriers or resistance to audio and visual input. Often considered as ‘close minded’ or stubborn compared to that of a critical thinking individual who is willing to adapt more or less. They may for now NOT be able to work through the Denial and Anger phase. We can only see how long this immunity can hold up after an economic reset factor.
2. “If you don’t hold it you don’t own it.” Possession is 90% mental; tactile stimulus is often critical on the original onset of the disease in most cases. The Capsule stage comes afterwards as the individual has acclimated to regular treatments and begins to explore other treatment options like semi numismatic and numismatic treatment for a little variety to suit taste and objectives. This sometimes leads to grading and slabbing.
3. Interesting, I’ve come across three cases that began with Copper where one individual used it as a Gateway to Silver and then gold. The second case pursued a career in plumbing and the other into wholesale Electrical wiring.
   Glad to be of service.

Fantastic research and case study! So interesting and amazing to contemplate. Thanks again!
