Effect of Potentiated Solutions on Mercury(II) Signal in Inversion Voltammetry

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

We studied the effects of homeopathically potentiated substances in ultralow doses on physicochemical properties of solutions. Inverse voltammetric signals during Hg(II) oxidation-reduction in the presence of potentiated water, lithium chloride, and mercury nitrate were studied by alternating-current inversion voltammetry. Potentiated substances modified oxidation-reduction processes in the electrochemical system. Potentiated solutions of Hg(II) increased the effective concentration (activity) of mercury ions. The effect was most significant in the presence of mercury nitrate in homeopathic dilutions C6+C12+C24. Our results indicate that potentiated substances specifically modulate kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of solutions containing the same compounds.
