Thank you for all you do, this is great research! My son had nearly 3 times the limit of aluminum IN HIS BLOOD, after a Prevnar 13 vaccine. I was able to bring the levels down (even what was stored in his tissues) thanks to your work. I'm grateful you continue putting the message out there and will share this with the severely autistic clients I work with undoing the damage like I did for my son with God's help (and yours).
I just had some "organic salted toffee 55% dark chocolate." The grocer offers such things "for free" from time to time. So I looked at Yokel's pdf of chocolate bars.
From the choc-dipped ice berg tip of Yokel's exhaustive opus it seems I should start bathing in Fiji water.
Thanks, Doc, and many thanks to Bob! As usual, will preserve in print copy and place with your book. Yes, know this is an archaic form of storage; however, we all should be aware that at any time important information can be erased from electronic media on a whim of censors. Prefer to have multiple storage locations.

I believe I destroyed myself from aluminum exposure last year. I literally feel like I am dying since then. Lots of horrific neurological issues and symptoms. I’ve been to the ER and many Drs. How can one get in touch with Dr Exley? Michael.
Thank you. I am sure there is a lot of great data there with Bob’s PDFs on the aluminium content of food and drink. But I am having trouble making sense of it. Any chance there is a summary or synthesis for just the ordinary folk who aren’t prone to interpret a lot of data?
I realize that may be asking a lot, but just asking anyway.
I’ve been trying to drink 1L of Fiji water for the last year or two. Would love to have the short take on what to avoid.
I am surprised that in the dataset "Aluminum in beverages and foods packaged and/or stored in Al and non-Al containers" there doesn't seem to be much difference between say glass and alu container for liquids.
I guess the plastic layer in the alu containers do a decent job of keeping the aluminium out?
Brilliant table. Agree, and also IMHO, stop worrying about aluminum in packaging. Moreover, beer has massive [Fiji water like] silicon to balance. Fruit drinks canned under CO2 are fine. Milk is a relatively high source. Basic message from the table: don't boil acidic food in aluminum cookware; we knew that.
INSTEAD, worry about long-term self-made TOXIN, homocysteine, when NOT consuming a daily multivitamin. THAT chemical is firmly linked to brain and any-organ decline. My simplified take http://www.health-heart.org/why.pdf Cheers.
I have looked at Dr. Yokel's tables and it seems to me that all the food we eat contains aluminium. Does this mean that we are all "poisoning" us on an ongoing basis? And the second question is "can this be remedied?". I may have misunderstood something and, therefore, I should be grateful for an explanation. Many thanks.
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Your statement, obviously, means that aluminium is responsible for or contributes to a multitude of diseases. I shall follow your advice, which should be taken to heart by everybody. Thank you once again.
I think we hit the "too much" mark a long time ago. Based on Bob's excellent research the average adult consumes 4.7 mg of aluminum daily or 1,715 mg per year or 3.75 lb per year (assuming my math is correct). His research was on food and drink and does not include skin products that are absorbed into the blood or vaccines with aluminum adjuvants.
Stuart, taking your math as it is, according to Yokul, absorbed is only about 0.25% of that [a minuscule 0.01 mg/d] and in serum the maximum is reached say near 4 hours and at 24 hours it is down say 10x. It should mostly be bound to albumen and taken care of by the kidneys -- who knows what that tiny amount in food and water really does. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18848597/
I once calculated that homocysteine is continuously regenerated in blood mainly as/in degraded proteins totaling about 5 mg in one's blood. Clearly that is something one can do something about. Pick your poison.
Thanks, but the problem is where does the non absorbed go. Aluminum is a foreign invader. If a Macrophage gobbles it up and is called to the brain, it can dump its payload through apoptosis or necrosis. Then we have most vaccines with aluminum.
Stuart, did you look at the study I submitted? The balance of the Al goes with the poop after it has been turned into compost by our gut bacteria. I don't think large gut macrophages would ever wind up in the brain; most of them tend to be rather long-living and fairly stationary. Your comment was about Al in the diet, not about what ever is injected into a muscle. Incidentally, your yearly amount is 1.7 grams, not 3.7 pounds.
For perspective, there are about 40 known essential nutrients including 11 minerals. I worry about what is NOT in my diet, likely a greater risk for people's health. Take care of those and I believe the body is better equipped to deal with whatever toxins. Regards.
Obviously among them are iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium, silicon, iodine, molybdenum, calcium, and chromium, to mention 10 one can be deficient or low in.
Ames mentions in par, 2.0 about 40 nutrients being essential. Regarding the B-vitamins, the ones that lower homocysteine, here is an important "Consensus Statement" regarding them and dementia / Alzheimer's https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5836397/ Vitamins are major confounders when studying in-the-food 'anti-nutrients' like aluminum.
It is impossible to know at any time how much damage poisons will do a body. Of course, at some point there is a deadly limit and that will vary person to person. How any toxicity accumulates and its affect are not well known and not a one-size-fits-all affair as is 95% of all medicine. Thanks for the info about aluminum in various foods.
Thank you for all you do, this is great research! My son had nearly 3 times the limit of aluminum IN HIS BLOOD, after a Prevnar 13 vaccine.

Too Much Stuff:

“…bathing in Fiji water” *too.*
I already skip the light fandango, & drink the artesian magnifique the waiter brings … & I can feel the floor crossing cartwheels coming on.
Thank you for this great resource!
Wow, that's some awesome data!
Thanks, Doc, and many thanks to Bob! As usual, will preserve in print copy and place with your book.

Thanks so much!
Quite the comprehensive list, Thank you

I was doing A LOT of aluminum railing cutting for a deck. Soon after my world fell apart.
Does anyone know where to get silica-rich water that’s has been bottled in glass in the USA? (One that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg 😅)
Thank you. I am sure there is a lot of great data there with Bob’s PDFs on the aluminium content of food and drink. But I am having trouble making sense of it. Any chance there is a summary or synthesis for just the ordinary folk who aren’t prone to interpret a lot of data?

You can find all this summarised in my book and throughout my many substack posts.
I posted a summary today of important line items to consider sourced from Dr. Exley directly. This now includes page numbers

Thanks for this incredible resource. What about the aluminum in canned drinks, juices, beer, tea, etc, etc?
? It is all there.
I have looked at Dr. Yokel's tables and it seems to me that all the food we eat contains aluminium. Does this mean that we are all "poisoning" us on an ongoing basis? And the second question is "can this be remedied?". I may have misunderstood something and, therefore, I should be grateful for an explanation. Many thanks.
Yes and yes. Regarding the latter, drink a silicon-rich mineral water each and every day. Read my book and other substack posts for why.
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Your statement, obviously, means that aluminium is responsible for or contributes to a multitude of diseases. I shall follow your advice, which should be taken to heart by everybody. Thank you once again.

Pardon my enquiry please, but would you mind informing me of the 11 essential minerals you would consider such you are referring to please?
Hello Pandora, I took those 11 (my mistake: 15) from the late great Bruce N Ames and his
much cited text https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2945683/ Top right of page 2.
Obviously among them are iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, selenium, silicon, iodine, molybdenum, calcium, and chromium, to mention 10 one can be deficient or low in.
Ames mentions in par, 2.0 about 40 nutrients being essential. Regarding the B-vitamins, the ones that lower homocysteine, here is an important "Consensus Statement" regarding them and dementia / Alzheimer's https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5836397/ Vitamins are major confounders when studying in-the-food 'anti-nutrients' like aluminum.
I don't know if this link works outside Canada; I take 2 daily because they fill much of what I can be low in while, without any doubt, lowering blood-toxin homocysteine. If not, Google " Kirkland signature Men 50+ multivitamin if you're over age 50 (the no-iron variety). Here US$20 for 365 pills. https://www.costco.ca/kirkland-signature-men-50%2B-multivitamin%2C-365-tablets.product.100683747.html
Hoping this helps, Regards. EV
