From what I understand, mercury is not poisonous but mercuric oxide is very poisonous. Amalgamating with silver probably does stabilize the mercury to a great degree but some is still interfaced with oxygen. Oral consuption of colloidal silver probably further hardens and stabilizes the mercury on a continuous basis...especially at the surface interface where it counts.

List: I found the following comment on Quackqatch:

"I was in the dentists office last week getting my kids teeth
their bi-annual checkover when this very subject came up. The dentist made
a simple observation that I wish to share with you which may help in
understanding the issue.
'If mercury toxicity was a problem then dentists and dental nurses would
have major health problems. They simply could not do the job they do if the
risks were as high as claimed, since they [dentists and nurses] are exposed
to the stuff several times a day.'"

Question: Are technicians and dentists exposed to pure mercury, or is what
they mix to make the mercury amalgam a stabilized form of mercury the
minimizes health risks? Roger
