Chris, I appreciate all the science, study and findings you mention in every article and discussion you present for us to learn and share. And share I do. “Thank you” could never express my gratitude for ALL you continue to give ! My hope is that my friends and family would make time to listen to your research - so their health AND their childrens’ future could be better preserved!!!!
Thank you so much for all your work, I have shared with all of my family. My question, with regard to Fiji water, since this is the only water available to me with high silica content, is the leaching of plastic into the water. I try diligently to eat a clean food diet, avoid aluminum cans, and food containing aluminum and I also try to avoid food/drinks packaged in plastic, which is nearly impossible. Do you think that drinking water in plastic can also have harmful effects on our bodies, organs, brains, and which do you believe is the least of the two evils? I'd love your insight.
A bit over 3 years ago, my MMSE (30 question MD diagnostic tool for Alzheimer’s) score was in the low 20s... beginning (and supposedly irreversible) Alzheimer’s.
After reading your book, I embarked on a liter/quart of Fiji water a day.
For the last TWO years, my scores have been 28-29... HIGH NORMAL.
The Alzheimer’s MDs are baffled! I am not.
Question... is OTC nonalcoholic beer also high enough in OSA.
IN my reading, I was advised to gather horsetail during the early spring, when it is growing rapidly- as that was said to be the ONLY time when it/s silicon was "biologically active". As the nature of silicon fractions and acids may vary during the plant's lifecycle, does this idea have any merit?
I buy Fiji water- in the US Acilis is not available due to "customs" issues- but it would be helpful to see if there were a plant "friend" that could help us with our healing as well.
Thanks again for your effort in educating us on this topic Dr. Exley. This is one of my favorite blog spaces, I admire how lucidly you can talk about such complex concepts.
Question - from your publications and your book, it is evident that your position is Silica Water is the most effective form of administering silica (OSA) to the body. It is also true that silica water is quite rare in nature, and probably 90% of the population does not (and historically did not) have access to this elixir of life. In the absence of a silicon rich mineral water source, how does the body extract silica from food, and alternate sources (like diatoms and horsetail and yam skins)? If silica is an essential micro-nutrient and can only be effectively ingested via naturally occurring rare mineral waters, how does it impact the rest of the population that does not have access to the water?
Whole plant medicines make more sense to me, based on my experience. Microwaves do horrible things to cells, plant and animal. This is well documented. When you extract and concentrate, you are losing the whole aspect and many many constituents you have not yet considered and studied. I have never found extractions superior to the wisdom of the whole plant in my experience these last 40 years.
Thank you for all your research and sharing it with us. Forgive me for not reading this post before I asked about horsetail. I am taken down a rabbit hole with similar curiosity now! What an adventure you are on!
Hi, I'm new to your aluminium subject and watching your various interviews. On this horsetail, I just wanted to suggest one other silica supplement that I happen to take for a totally different reason - Solgar Oceanic Silica from Red Algae (which oddly contains 2x calcium to silica!). It might be a better form of silica. It claims 25mg elemental silicon per cap, although I don't know what that means in regard to your silicic acid application.
Hi Chris. Thoroughly enjoyed your book. Beautifully written and your passion is so evident. Your light represents a beacon of hope in what can be considered dark days for some of us. I'm a holistic sport scientist nicely censored for expressing the counter narrative last year - now we see the fallout in athletes too. Alas. My question for you. I live in the (large) mountains of British Columbia. With reference to Figure 6, one of my intuitive practices is to grab water from the infinite waterfalls and streams during my bike and trail running. Is there some probability that my water sources might have trace levels of silicic acid? It sure does taste good at least... thanks for all you do.
Question, regarding the study you did which you did with 15 people which had a 20% increase in cognitive ability for AD patients with the addition of mineral waters - are there any other studies you were able to do to further the link between silica/ mineral water? If so please let me know so I can look up and share with nonbelievers :)

Fascinating image!

A note of progress... and a question.

How would one test this idea?
PS- thanks for the Solari interview!

I heard Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt mention you recently. He says BioSil is a great supplement and crosses the blood-brain barrier. Is he correct?
Thank you - just wondering if orthosilicic acid does the job of removing aluminium as this can be purchased as a collagen booster...

Thank you for this. I, too, am beset with horsetails and was trying to make them useful.
Looks like a cross between an owl and a frog!
