<< It would seem likely that silver does leach from the teeth, at what rate depends on the reduction potential of both silver and mercury. If I remember correctly mercury will leach at a lower potential than silver and this is the reaction which would proceed at the greatest rate. Silver and mercury will act independently and while mercury depresses the immune system and silver augments it, silver will not counteract the toxicity of mercury as far as I know. Electrolysis generates the silver ion Ag+. Regards Ivan >> Ivan: Whatever the reduction potential is, it's far less than that corresponding to pure mercury or silver since silver and mercury react to form an intermetallic compound that reduces the activity of each to a tiny fraction of its standard state which, in this case, refers to the pure metal. I believe your reduction potential comments were based on these metals being in their standard states. Roger -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
