Medical Forum / General / Alternative / November 2007Mercury Does Not Belong In Homeopathic Drugs
Quoting from: http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/98fr/981109bk.pdf The 15 manufacturers of homeopathic products submitted information on 494 human products containing 22 different mercury compounds, as follows: Homeopathic name CAS preferred or chemical name Number of products Aethiops antimonialis antimony sulfide/mercury mixture 2 Aethiops mercurialis-mineralis black mercuric sulfide 8 Mercurius aceticus mercurous acetate 4 Mercurius auratus mercury and gold amalgam 3 Mercurius biniodatus mercuric iodide 3 Mercurius bromatus mercurous bromide 3 Mercurius corrosivus mercuric chloride 80 Mercurius cum kali iodatus potassium tetraiodomercurate 3 Mercurius cyanatus mercuric cyanide 20 Mercurius dulcis mercurous chloride 21 Mercurius iodatus flavus mercurous iodide 23 Mercurius iodatus ruber mercuric iodide 28 Mercurius methylenus dimethylmercury 3 Mercurius nitricus mercuric nitrate 4 Mercurius praecipitatus albus ammoniated mercury (chloride) 11 Mercurius praecipitatus ruber red mercuric oxide 31 Mercurius protoiodatus mercurous iodide 2 Mercurius solubilis [Hahnemanns] soluble mercury 126 Mercurius sulphocyanatus mercuric thiocyanate 3 Mercurius sulphuratus ruber red mercuric sulfide 10 Mercurius sulphuricus mercuric sulfate 13 Mercurius vivus [Quicksilver] mercury 72 Combination products 18 Due to the large number of dilutions in the manufacture of homeopathic products, the amount of mercury compounds used annually in manufacturing these products is minimal. One manufacturer stated that 1 g of a mercury compound provides enough active ingredient for 1,000 kilograms (kg) of 6X tablets or pellets. Thus, most manufacturers annual requirements for any mercury compound used in manufacturing a homeopathic drug product should not exceed 1 g. > Quoting from:http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/98fr/981109bk.pdf > [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] > manufacturing a homeopathic drug product should not exceed > 1 g. Homeopathic products are a huge scam and have nothing in them. Mercury is not a problem.

Yet, they, at least, are telling the patients that they are getting mercury. Not quite the same with the allopath's who do not tell you and then claim, " a little dab won't hurt you." BTW, just what is the concentration of mercury in a 6X dilution? It will not be zero.

Some people say that mercury is unsafe at any level. Strangely, you never hear these same people complaining about homeopathic drugs in which mercury is the "active" ingrediant. >> I know that and you know that.

That's because, deep down, they know that homeopathy is bullshit and can have no effect.

For some it is a religious doctrine that is accepted as true because it is rejected by others, IMO. > I still want to know why the colloidal silver ground off tooth > fillings doesn't cure mercury poisoning. It cures everything else. Colloidal silver is not a homeopathic in it concentrations when it works. It certainly doesn't cure everything. It is one of many antiseptics and as such is valid. And yes the BS artists sold their share of it and they naturally given their nature inflated its value out of proportion to anything resembling the truth. In the past it was used in carbon filters for drinking water as a preservative. Likely it good as a mild gargle and for topical purposes as are a lot things. Having said that the silvers antiseptic property may indeed well placed in filling and the tooth matrix beside the obvious mechanical barrier it provides. My comment should alienate both sides here on misc.health.alternative. Misc.health.alternative should or could be symbolized by two snakes swallowing the other's tail to represent the endless cycle of argument.

I sueprised at the depths of their mendacity. j. thanks for the info. I thought that homeopathy was the lesser of the evils in alternative medicine, due to harmless nature of their preparations. Now, I have to toss them in with the rest of the idiot, charlatans and frauds. sad, really. j. |
