Hi Chris:
There is a paper by that may be of interest to you at
http://www.europhysicsnews.com/full/20/ ... icle3.html
It's not light reading but none of this stuff is. They talk about the
helical time path leading of electronic wave propagation in crystalline
solids to photonic and phononic crystals. The refer to the possibility of
appearance of stop bands (also called gaps) separating pass bands (also
called bands). This means that the frequency axis may be divided into
alternating regions of gaps and bands: In the former, waves cannot propagate
(cannot even exist in an infinite periodic medium), while in the latter they
propagate freely due to constructive interference of the waves scattered by
the periodic medium. The gaps appear as a result of destructive interference
and/or the possible existence of non-accessible regions in space.
Furthermore, a local deviation from the periodicity may trap the wave around
it giving rise to an eigenfrequency in the gap. Attractive (i.e. negative)
deviations tend to pull states out and below the bands, while repulsive ones
(i.e. positive) tend to push states out and above the bands. This apparently
allows them to understand the distinction between conductors and insulators
and formed the basis of the creation of solid state electronics. So can it
be that your friend was in a state of Silicea imbalance that acted as a form
of insulator to shut down electrical appliances etc.
I've heard of other similar human electrical disruptions somewhere. However
if you can ever put all this in basic WASP language terms let me know.

PS Her homeopath probably came up with Silica by doing good homeopathy. My
experience with homeopathy is that with proper case taking and repertory
work you will come up with a remedy that only later can you relate to a
proven scientific fact. ie person in a calcium state - you later find when
their bone density tests come back, they have osteoporosis.
