Well, you're probably wondering how I got here. After all, how often does a teenager end up winning the Nobel Peace Prize?

"I'm not going to eat foil, Johnny." "I said, EAT IT!!!!" I looked down at the foil, slowly bringing it to my mouth before beginning to chew on it. The foil, grating against my metal fillings, produced what I later learned were called "galvanic shocks," small electrical currents that sent searing pain through my teeth.
