Aluminium toxicity in humans has yet to be fully recognised though there are strong links with chronic human diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune diseases, some cancers and Autism.

Aluminium is used to purify water, it’s in antacids, aspirin, vaccines, dental composites, porcelain fillings, most food dyes, deodorant, cosmetics, coffee percolators, toothpaste and our skies.

When Aluminum and fluoride bind together they make a toxicant more heinous with grave implications on the body. In the presence of Glyphosate, Aluminium becomes 20-50 times more toxic. Glyphosate is a chelating agent. It binds aluminium and shuttles it freely across the gut wall into the tissues, and distributes it widely into our organs.

Stephenie Seneff, Ph.D a well known environmental toxin researcher has shown that when aluminium gets in the extracellular space, it completely changes the voltage on the cell walls. It impairs the receptors that we have on the cell wall, hormone receptors, neurotransmitter receptors, insulin receptors. They all get messed up by aluminum. Aluminium has a profound negative impact on our health, stronger than any other toxin.

Aluminium is a lot of things and it has no place in the human body (or that of our animal friends). So how do we get rid of it, safely? Well the antidote has been provided for us by mumma nature of course.

Silica. Silicon. Silicic Acid. Orthosilicic acid.
Silicon is silica in its natural Quartz crystal state. Silica is the plant life form found in bamboo and horsetail.

Numerous research papers have all conferred that has silica-rich mineral water removes Aluminium from the human organism AND prevents absorption by an estimated 67%  (Buffoli et al., 2013; Davenward et al., 2013).

This Silica and Aluminium relationship has been recognised as the main evolutionary mechanism for fighting eco toxicity of aluminum in ALL living organisms (Exley, 2009; Beardmore et al., 2016; Exley, 2016).

So how do we go about obtaining sufficient silica in the correct form to allow our body to naturally breakdown aluminium deposits and excrete them safely?

Drink a minimum of 1 liter of silica rich water a day. Silica rich water is defined as water containing more than 30mg/L of Silicic Acid (silicon + oxygen).

Recent epidemiological results on the Paquid cohort 52 after 8 years of follow-up have shown that high silica levels (above 11.25 mg/l) are associated with a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Those with the APOE4 gene have an increased incidence of both Alzheimer’s and Dementia and Silica may be of significant benefit as both a preventative prophylactic AND early onset treatment.

“We have shown that drinking up to 1 L of a silicon-rich mineral water each day for 12 weeks facilitated the removal of aluminum via the urine in both patient and control groups without any concomitant affect upon the urinary excretion of the essential metals, iron and copper. We have provided preliminary evidence that over 12 weeks of silicon-rich mineral water therapy the body burden of aluminum fell in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and, concomitantly, cognitive performance showed clinically relevant improvements.” – PMID: 22976072

A fantastic case study I want to share with you I present below of a child greatly impacted by aluminium toxicity – This report describes the case of a child who at age 3-4 developed a mix of severe and progressive neurological and motor symptoms including seizures that have greatly decreased while drinking silica-rich water over a period of less than one year.

It is a case study well worth reading.

When you drink a silica rich mineral water, the silicic acid in the water passes immediately from your gut and into your blood producing a temporary rapid increase in the silicic acid in your blood. It is this temporary high concentration of silicic acid in the blood which reacts with aluminium in the blood with the formation of hydroxyaluminosilicates and helps the aluminium to be removed from the brain, liver, bone, spleen and kidneys via the urine. It also inhibits aluminium from being absorbed. Mother Nature really has provided the goods.

A high level of silicic acid in the blood is essential to ensure that the product it makes with aluminium remains stable for long enough for it to be filtered by the kidney. Only silica-rich mineral waters where the silica content is above 30 mg/L or ppm when stated as ‘silica’ or 14 mg/L or ppm when stated as ‘silicon’ or ‘silicic acid’ (sometimes written as orthosilicic acid), will help to remove aluminium from the body. Not all forms of silica have the same affinity and aluminium ameliorative effects – it must be silicic acid/ orthosilicic acid.

• Waters Co Filtration Systems claims to add 90 PPM or 90 mg/L of silica to your water if used. I would very much like to confirm this figure myself to see if this is indeed truth as it is a big figure……??
• Fiji Water contains 61-93mg/L.
• Three Bays contains 56mg/L
• Cottonwood Spring Water available for delivery contains 57mg per L.
• The Orgono Silica Booster available in our shop delivers 15.32mg/L per 15 ml of silicic acid as well as 7.55 mg/L of Monomethylsilanotriol (another form of silca) that improves uptake of Silicic Acid for maximum absorption.

As you can see, if one focuses on high quality remineralised hydration used alone or in conjunction with our Orgono Silica Booster, we can easily exceed the 30mg/L required for efficacy. Dr Chris Exley advises shooting for at least 50mg/L a day of silica rich water.

Silica rich water is safe for ALL ages, it is an essential mineral and cannot be overdone. Our dogs and cats can benefit greatly from it. Dr Chris Exley suggests introducing silica rich water to infants when solids are commenced.

Silica is the second most common element on earth, after oxygen. In its crystalline form, silicon (or quartz), is the most plentiful element in the earth’s crust. Our body holds on average 7g of Silica at anytime however it is rapidly excreted so consistent daily supplementation is required.

Horsetail tea is another silica abundant herb, 25% of its dry weight is actually silica that can also be incorporated for aluminum detoxification. Kiah and I regularly consume Horsetail in our blend of Nettle, Rosehip, Horsetail and Moringa Tea as another delicious and nourishing way to boost our silicic acid intake.

Diatomaceous earth is not a recommended silicon supplement as it can lower SIgA in the gut contributing to immune dysfunction and opportunistic growth of yeast/ pathogenic bacteria.

And so, in this world where Infant Formula is allowed to contain 124mcg of Aluminium per SERVE, our tap water is laced with the heinous fluoride + aluminium combo, the childhood schedule delivers somewhere in the vicinity of 2875mcg in the first 400 days of life and the Gardasil Vaccine delivers 500mcg of Amorphous Aluminium Hydroxyphosphate Sulfate in a single shot – mother nature wants us to remember that the remedy is readily available. The protection afforded by silica against the toxicity of aluminium in all living things might well be subverted with this simple antidote.
