about: My interest in silica water was inspired by a desire to help my mother slow the progression of her Alzheimer’s disease. My mother was 86 when she lost her short term memory and was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The facts that she had MCI and could no longer perform daily tasks such as meal preparation, sewing, and balancing the checkbook, were indications she had Alzheimer’s disease. In order to save my mother from the terrible death of end-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD), I devoted myself to studying scientific literature looking for causal factors of AD. My belief was that only by finding a causal factor could I help my mother stop the progression of AD. After 3 years of reading I concluded that aluminum is a causal facto My interest in silica water was inspired by a desire to help my mother slow the progression of her Alzheimer’s disease.

In order to save my mother from the terrible death of end-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD), I devoted myself to studying scientific literature looking for causal factors of AD. My belief was that only by finding a causal factor could I help my mother stop the progression of AD. After 3 years of reading I concluded that aluminum is a causal factor of AD and that my mother was being exposed to the following daily sources of aluminum:•	Drinking Water (50mcg/L aluminum and no silica)•	Drip Style Coffee Maker - with aluminum heating element (260mcg/L of aluminum)•	Baking Powder (50mg aluminum per teaspoon)•	Homemade Tomato Juice - made in an aluminum kettle (&gt;1,000mcg/L of aluminum)I also read Dr. Christopher Exley’s work on daily silica water treatments improving cognition in some Alzheimer’s patients by facilitating aluminum excretion and hoped this might work for my mother. Luckily my mother and father still have the ability to adapt to change. In other words they have resiliency and were willing to make lifestyle changes to avoid sources of aluminum. Most importantly they were willing to switch over to drinking silica water (e.g. Fiji water) instead of tap water. After the first year of these lifestyle changes my mother’s short term memory had improved and after two years she had completely switched from telling us what happened many years ago to what happened today. My mom is now 92 and claims her only memory problem is finding some things in the kitchen. Of course she just blames my father who is now 95 for putting these things away in the wrong place. My research on Alzheimer’s disease and ways to prevent it are summarized in my book “Prevent Alzheimer’s, Autism, and Stroke with 7 Supplements, 7 Lifestyle Choices, and a Dissolved Mineral”1. The dissolved mineral is a water soluble silica derivative called orthosilicic acid (OSA). The reversal of Alzheimer’s symptoms in my mother motivated me to write a second book on the benefits of silica water that is the focus of this book. I was fortunate as a freshman at Harvard to have Dr. Lewis L. Engle Professor of Biological Chemistry at Harvard Medical School as my tutor. During our first meeting Dr. Engle suggested I read a book written almost 40 years earlier by Lawrence J. Henderson Assistant Professor of Biological Chemistry at Harvard University entitled “The Fitness of The Environment”. This book describes how the earth’s chemical environment made life on earth sustainable. The information in Henderson’s book shaped my career path.Even before graduating from Harvard with a Ph.D. I cofounded a company to detect and quantify toxic chemicals in food. The company’s commercial chemical analysis laboratory performed analytical procedures for a wide variety of toxic environmental chemicals. Most of these toxic chemicals are man-made and eroding the fitness of our environment for sustaining life on earth. Because of my recent research into mother’s Alzheimer’s disease, I have now added aluminum to the list of toxic chemicals that are increasing in our diet and accumulating in our brains due to man’s influence. Aluminum is a neurotoxin and chronic accumulation of aluminum has been linked to a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Aluminum has become more bioavailable since the dawn of the Aluminum Age in the 1880’s when a process to purify aluminum from bauxite was developed. Like the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages that preceded it, the Aluminum Age has brought great changes, both good and bad, to human civilization.In addition to the factors m ...more
