I enjoyed your article, and I appreciate your words and your resolve to no matter what may come ,to publish, express the truth. Please keep it up. I appreciate people such as yourself who are not faint of heart who do not run for cover, but stand up and courageously tell the truth. That is so lacking today and it is refreshing.

Such a coincidence that this is in my inbox this morning as I spent part of the night wondering if those Nespresso coffee capsules are made with aluminum? Fortunately I don’t use them, but I know many that do. Ever since reading your book, I have been aware of most things in daily life that have aluminum ( it’s everywhere!) and do my best to avoid it. I keep reminding my adult children and my husband to stop buying beer and drinks in aluminum cans. And I remind them all the time to drink Fiji and Gerolsteiner water. Thank you for all that you. I wish there was an option for a one time donation, or kindly point my way to where I can do that.

Thank you for this excellent essay that educates us on aluminum’s benefits to human civilization and negative impacts on life. The point that silicon can tame aluminum’s negative impacts is important in that it gives humanity an opportunity to avoid further decline in viability of all life forms. There should be a new industry that invents and creates processes and products to disrupt and make irrelevant the status quo of “do not mention any possible hazards of aluminum on life” and instead focuses on solutions. We have seen many cases of thinking people collaborating in unlikely places such as garages to invent personal computers, so why not with biochemistry?

Aluminum in the body is the same as mercury, mRNA spike proteins, fluoride, glycophosphate and a host of other nefarious substances of which we have no real knowledge of the long term effects. But hey, big pharma and the medical establishment says they are all good for you!

Thanks to you, I regularly detox my family with Volvic (the easiest high-silica brand water I can get). God bless you Dr. Exley.

I recently started a monthly subscription for delivery of Sousas water, sourced by this UK company from the Galician mountains of Spain:

I'm pleased that there is this alternative to giving my money to supermarkets for my bottled water. I will never forgive the pantomime they put us all through over the past few years i.e. masks, hands, distancing, etc. Now I use supermarket chains as little as possible.

This was a pleasure to read, and I love that you shared some benefits of aluminum. Industry simply went crazy with all that could be done with the metal, rather than the steady-on approach of only doing what should be done without safety studies.

I do not know if you are a Star Trek fan, but to add a little "Lightness of Being" today...there was a scene in Star Trek IV movie in which Scotty was trying to talk to an industrial engineer's computer (they had gone back in time to find whales). When he was told to "just use the keyboard" in his lilting brogue Scotty replied "how quaint!" and then proceeded to type up the formula for transparent aluminum. The engineer was agog with possibilities, the pure genius of the formula.

When the doc (Bones) made the remark that they would be changing the future to give the engineer the formula, Scotty replied, "well how do we know he didn't invent the thing?"

So if we need to transport whales to another place and time, aluminum may save the day! lol

That was a lovely and fascinating well written essay! Thank you for sharing and thank you for making the information available for all!

I know you have mentioned drinking water that has some silicon, my question is how do you know if the water you are drinking has it? Can you add it?

Man has made this world so toxic in so many ways I feel so stuck in so many areas of my life on how to avoid toxins! Do you or anyone have any recommendations on books or articles that are good for living a less toxic life style?

Thank you, I am sure that my book will answer all your questions on aluminium.

How do I contact you to do a presentation for doctors in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia? I organize a monthly study group for those interested in integrative medicine in particular energy and nutritional medicine. Your work must be made known to more doctors.

Thank you for this excellent summary al Al. Now l am on the hunt for more info in soluble silicon. I assume you've written about it...

It's fascinating that aluminum is so abundant yet did not tend to interact biologically before industrialization. It therefore makes perfect sense to test for it or try to treat it when there are otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms.

I found out that aluminum is actually one of the more common elements found in seawater, at least according to this source: https://web.stanford.edu/group/Urchin/mineral.html

( after sodium and chloride are excluded, going by order of magnitude)

Would this mean that health supplements that remove sodium and chloride and concentrate seawater for the mineral content could potentially have problematic levels of aluminum that can biologically interact?

This table is wholly incorrect with respect to aluminium. The aluminium content of seawater is closer to 1.9 ppb than 1.9 ppm. Not sure where they go their information from.

A very interesting article. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s amazing how aluminium is intertwined with so many things in our environment. I read that titanium is also added to plants to encourage growth. My question is this; if aluminium is in plants also, and supposedly aluminium can cause titanium hyper sensitivity reactions in humans, what does this mean for mankind?

Thanks, titanium encourages plant growth? Aluminium causes titanium hyper-sensitivity? You didn't read this in my book or substack.

You are correct I read in another author’s book that aluminium can cause a titanium hypersensitivity - an interesting concept though?

The article about titanium being used to encourage plant growth was online. It’s used in fertiliser. It would seem too much was not beneficial as was too little. Probably the same for humans. However, still messing with nature don’t you think?

Many write and speak about aluminium. Luckily you have chosen to follow my substack, the culmination of forty years of academic scientific research.

You are quite right - I am pleased to be following your posts. The combination and influence of different metals on both the prosperity of animals and plants though is interesting is it not?
