I have eliminated known sources of aluminum from my diet except for one. I recently learned that the Methylcellulose fiber caplets I take are colored with Yellow #6, an aluminum lake dye. I can’t find any alternative caplets without dye. There is powdered Methylcellulose without dye, but it is difficult to mix with water to drink. I have been taking 6×500 mg caplets per day. My question is whether you might have any idea of how much aluminum this represents and whether my concurrent use of silicade can adequately deal with it. I realize you won’t have a precise answer, but am looking for any kind of guidance. And yes, we should remove all sources of Al, but I find these caplets essential for maintaining fiber input and regularity.

A related question is, at what level of daily intake would Al be considered significantly toxic in terms of its contribution to Alzheimer’s? Can silicade effectively remove ingested Al in small amounts such as the caplets above such that one doesn’t need to worry about it?

Thanks for any help with this.

My mom has vascular dementia and has been on Aricept for
8 years! Even though the doctors tell me it usually is only effective for 1-2 years average, they are concerned if I take her off it, her dementia will rapidly get worse. What are your thoughts on this? I’ve been wanting to take her off this for a long time but am scared to.

Sodium aluminum silicate is used as an anticaking agent in some salt brands. Have you done any research on aluminum content in table salt brands?

Hello,
I saw that the page with coffee makers includes the Braun KF7000. Before I bought some as gifts, I wanted to check in with the company to ensure that nothing has changed, so I sent an email asking if the heating element is aluminum or stainless steel. This was their response:

Thank you for your recent contact into our Customer Care Center.

We regret to inform you that all of our coffee makers are made with the following material:

– 70% Plastic.
– 15% Electrical.
– 10% Aluminum.
– 5% Glass.

Hello
I have read a bunch of articles, but have yet to see the actual recipe for Silicade. How can I get to it?

Also, I have a Brita pitcher that filters the water as you pour from the pitcher. I am not sure that is the device you are recommending. Can you expand on your definition of a Brita pitcher?

I would love to be able to make up a mix to add to my water jug that I drink from every day. It is around a 4 cup capacity. Is there such a thing as a concentrate or a powder mix you can just add to your water bottle?

This is all so fascinating! I am an RN in the US (9 years), and also an animal nurse (28 years). I have worked, bedside (through covid), with our senior population. The rate of alzheimers/dementia/cognitive decline in our senior population is incredibly sad, and we continue to make them more ill with all these ‘medications’ and such. I was eventually fired for not complying with their injection mandate. Now I substitute as a per diem school nurse in our local schools. The kids are malfunctioning! I substitute at a school for children with autism/severe adhd, etc, and the severity and number of children with these conditions is staggering. I also substitute at our ‘regular’ public schools and am saddened by how poisoned the kids are, between all the injections they are required to have, the things that they eat, all the electronics and media they are exposed to, I truly worry for their future. And the same pertains to our pets. Shot after shot, oral and topical flea/tick/heartworm pesticides, processed cereal for food, the rate of cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease, epilepsy, cognitive decline, etc – it’s insane.
Now my question, can our pets safely drink the silica water? I wouldn’t see why not, but I wanted to double check.
Thank you for your time, Michelle D, Long Island NY

Hi Dr. Crouse,

I just read your article at: https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.blogspot.com/2019/07/mercury-detox-using-selenium-method.html. I am going to have my 10 mercury fillings removed by a biological dentist and he recommended detoxing using a product called Selenase which is made with sodium selenite pentahydrate (one tablet daily) and 25 mg of zinc.

I have done a lot of reading about selenium supplementation, including your outstanding article referenced above (which is making me rethink the advice given in the book Mercury Detoxification by Dr. Tom McGuire). However, all of the discussion of selenium supplementation is about Selenomethionine either in yeast or yeast-free. There is no discussion anywhere of using selenite.

My dentist takes Selenase every three months to help keep his own mercury levels down, so he trusts the product. He also says that back in 2000 he was so mercury toxic that he had hand tremors, and taking Selenase cured him of that.

However, I am still cautious since I can’t find anything about using it for mercury detox. The supplier he recommends is at this link: https://apozona.com/product/selenase-100-xl-tablets-100/. I believe the marketer is at this link: https://www.korahealthcare.com/selenase/. I believe the manufacturer is at this link, although they have only a liquid form not a tablet form on their website: https://biosynhealth.com/products/100-mcg-selenase-20-count?variant=40681389195439

I would appreciate any comments you have on this since. Logic tells me to use Selenomethionine as given in your article along with agents that can escort the inert mercury/selenium compound out of the body (chlorella, etc.). But my dentist is absolutely convinced that this German product is superior to other forms of Selenium (he learned about it from two German doctors when he was at a conference in Germany). He makes this recommendation to all his patients.

He trained under Dr. Huggins and has been removing amalgam fillings for 30 years, so he’s been around the block on the subject of amalgam removals and detox methods, and he has followed various protocols himself and determined Selenase is the best.

Thank you for your insights.

I make and drink distilled water. can I make this and add to distilled with this recipe

Thank you so much for this invaluable information! I use reverse osmosis water to make the silica water. Do I need to dilute it to 1 gallon before passing through the brita filter? It’s difficult because my family goes through 2 gallons of water a day. Also is there some sort of assay for silicic acid? Dr. Exley wrote a blog on his substack that says there is virtually no silicic acid in horsetail tea. I’ve been drinking horsetail tea and bamboo tea for years, thinking the silica is bioavailable. Furthermore, there are doctors that recommend horsetail tea to remove aluminum. It would be good to know if this is ineffective. Thanks in advance.

Hi, in one of the videos it is stated that a Keurig coffee maker was tested and apparently added no aluminum to the coffee. Do you suppose that most or all Keurig coffee makers produced in the last 10 years do not use an aluminum heating element? Thanks! -JB.

I have two questions.

1- will pouring a bottle of Fiji Water through a water filter pitcher remove some of the silica content? We use Epic Water.

2- how about boiling Fiji Water for tea/coffee?

Hi!

I wonder if the Silica water must be consumed cold only? Or is it OK to make hot coffee/tea with it?

Best regards,
Timo

Dennis,
I currently make Magnesium Bicarb water. I was wondering if I could mix this with Silicade, or would the two react and form another compound?

Thank you.
