Dear Duncan, Your speculation is an interesting one.....and could have considerable merit. We do not have objective information relating to the various chemical actions of DMSO under the many possible dynamic conditions presenting in the human mouth. We are aware that DMSO presents small threat as an attacking solvent for a majority of metals (especially uncompounded ones). However, having stated that, it is of some moment to consider the amalgamated nature of silver-based fillings----they are quite unstable in the presence of a variety of even mild acids. We have conducted no tests involving the absorption of sublimated gas products from mercury compounds, or other gases.....by DMSO. In the absence of quantitative data on this matter, I must defer to the more knowledgeable chemists among us.....especially qualified organic chemists. I apologize for being unable to properly address your inquiry. I will, as soon as possible, inquire at further length on this line of investigation. It is a question of merit....especially if pronounced effects are possible under nominal conditions.....and low concentrations of DMSO. Sincerely, Brooks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Duncan Crow" <duncanc...@shaw.ca> To: "Brooks Bradley" <brooks76...@lycos.com>, silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: RE: CS>DMSO: COMMENT Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2006 15:08:12 -0800
