The "aluminum poisoning" section of EC is fairly limited so I thought it might be worth adding this recent abstract of a study that used silicon mineral water to try to lower the aluminum burden in humans who have Alzheimer's disease as aluminum is thought to be one potential cause or contributing factor to Alzheimer's Disease. I imagine this post might also fit well in the Alzheimer's disease section, EC??The study did show that silicon mineral water was able to lower the aluminum burden in the individuals tested over the study period of 12 weeks. The test subjects consumed one liter of silicon mineral water each day. The water contained 35mg/L of total silicon. There were also positive effects associated with the treatment in some of the patients.

The following link has a bit more information on silicon, aluminum and AD: http://bastyrcenter.org/content/view/550/
I imagine that the reason for silicon water as opposed to just a silicon supplement was to help excretion of aluminum through the urine. I found a slicon supplement online that has 10 mg per capsule of silicon aminoate. It is a 200 capsule jar and cost about $10. It is highlighted as a "hair and nail enhancer". The suggested serving is one to two capsules 3 times per day.

I find that you could put diatomaceous earth in your water and this should give you the same effect at an affordable price. There is enough silica.
Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is 89% Silica.

Aluminum is commonly used as an adjuvant in vaccines, to intensify it's effects. Most are recommended for children and babies. I shudder to think what is being done to them in the name of (bogus) science. Also,
"The silicon content of the horsetail [Equisetum arvense] is the highest in the entire plant empire, and no other herb comes even near to the silica levels found in the plant."
A tea may be made from this plant, and it has shown efficacy in numerous conditions. This site does not make mention of the aluminum connection, so it is incomplete in that regard. I will share the link, if I may, www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_horsetail.htm.

I agree with you about vaccines. I recommended my daughter ask for mercury free vaccines for her newborn son, but the aluminum is equally dangerous.

The few vaccines that are mercury free have been replaced with aluminum. I am not a doctor, but if I had a child I would NOT give my baby any vaccines.

Ceramic supply houses can provide very high purity silica from white quartz sand, ground to fineness of baby-powder. Added to water will certainly contain colloidal silica, especially if allowed to stand/leach. Silica sand is often used to purify water via 55 gal drum filters containing same, in 3rd world countries.

According to the work of Dr Exley who first proposed the use of silica rich mineral water, silica supplements are useless. It has to be silica in the form of silicic acid, which naturally binds to the aluminium. This is why only silica rich mineral water works.

Orogono Silica (Monomethylsilanetriol) has scientific research proving that it is effective and taken up in the body as OSA.

silica is not the same as silicone...

You mean Fiji Water in plastic bottles that sit on shelves for long periods and the plastic leaches into the water? Not for me. I'd suggest horsetail tea or tincture, tons of silica and safe and less spendy and less plastic being put into the oceans and environment!

"I find that you could put diatomaceous earth in your water and this should give you the same effect at an affordable price..."
The words "I find that" and "should" are extremely misleading here. The silica in diatomaceous earth does not properly dissolve in water in such a way that it can detoxify aluminum from the body. I know this from experience. I've been trying to dissolve diatomaceous earth, not in water but in vinegar, for literally years by having combined them in the same bottle. I've been consuming a little of this every day. How do I know it doesn't work? My recent mineral hair analysis showed that, despite my efforts to remove aluminum in this way, my body has a very toxic level of aluminum. This is the first time I've done a hair mineral analysis so I have no previous test to compare it to. I just know that this is an unacceptably high level of aluminum for anyone. I have been avoiding exposure to aluminum for decades. Don't waste time consuming silica in solid form, at least not for aluminum detox. I am currently trying malic acid.

How can you say it doesn't lessen your levels? You've only had 1 test for comparison! To better know you should keep it up for a few months, test again, and THEN you will know if your levels lessened or changed. Also, your área is heavily chemtrailed, so who knows what your levels were 1 yr or 6 months ago?, you surely don't.
