“I am the 3rd generation diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It runs very strong in my family. Possibly 5 generations as my Great, Great Grandmother and her daughter had memory problems before they called it Alzheimer’s. The Fiji Water has been removing Aluminum from my brain for almost 5 months and I can drive again and go shopping by myself again. Also doing memory block video puzzles. My scores are more then triple after starting detoxing from aluminum. I too thought it was over. But from first hand experience I have learned you can improve a lot. No one should give up.” September 2020
“I have been meaning to follow-up with you regarding my Mother. I arrived in Kansas on September 13th and within 48 hours I had my Mom on Fiji water and PQQ 20mg and Q10 200mg. The changes include: She is much more communicative, involved in conversation, remembering events and telling stories, laughing, joking. She is no longer incontinent and knows when she has to go to the bathroom. Rarely does she have an accident where as prior we could be changing her 7 to 10 times a day. ….. At almost exactly 2 months it was apparent that changes were taking place. My father even noticed and mentioned the changes. …… She no longer just stares off like she isn’t there. ….. Her short term memory is poor but her whole personality has mostly returned as has her appetite ….I wish to give hope to others that while I don’t believe Mom is “cured” she certainly has a much better quality of life than before I arrived to help and it has certainly made it ALOT easier for the caregiver.

“I wanted to provide an update on my mom. She was diagnosed with moderate (stage4) Alzheimer disease back in November of 2019. Around November 2020 I started my mom drinking Fiji water (1 litre). Before starting the water, my mom’s memory was getting bad. She couldn’t remember her brother and sisters names, struggled cooking, had issues driving, wouldn’t talk for more than 5 minutes on the phone. Since starting the Fiji water, she is able to understand when she says the wrong word and corrects herself, is cooking again, driving again, and she talks all the time on the phone with me! But most important, she is happy! I recently retested her and she is now at mild (stage 3). Thank you for all the information this group gives. April 2021”
“I’m 63 years old, not a Alzheimer patient (yet), but a little bit concerned about memory loss. For the last 5 months I have been drinking silica rich mineral water and I am really happy to feel that this ‘brain fog’ is disappearing. Thank you for all thé good advice. Love from Belgium. Jan 2022”
“I started drinking silica rich minéral water for 6 months now , because I started to feel insecure, forgot a lot, didn’t know the answer right away at unexpected questions, started to be afraid to drive, couldn’t do math in my head anymore etc. Now, 6 months later, I feel like a fog has disappeared from my brain, and my self confidence is back, no fear of driving anymore, I do calculations, remember a lot more. I try to convince my friends who have the same small memory problems, but they don t hear me. So I share it with you 
really I can recommend this. I live in Europe, we don t have Fiji, but we have other silica rich waters. This is not a commercial so I don’t give you a brand but if you want me to, I will gladly give you. Good luck to everyone.” March 2022 (She is drinking Volvic water which has 49 ppm of OSA, Fiji has 124 ppm of OSA)
“Dear Dennis and Laurie, Before I found this website, my mother’s cognition was going from bad to worse. She was on Souvenaid for 3 years and I don’t know if it had slowed her progression of Alzheimer’s. Since finding your website in December last year she started drinking Fiji water, she started taking CoQ10 and PQQ and the multivitamin. We have noticed in the past month her sundowning has much reduced. She is less agitated in the evenings. She is more aware of her surroundings. She is understanding the television more and generally happier. I once used to get nervous when the evenings would come around because I know that mum would start to become agitated and confused. I know longer worry as much anymore because I know she will eventually get better. I’m waiting for the day when the short term memory returns. June 2023 ” (Souvenaid is a memory nutrition supplement The multi vitamin is from Life Extensions see Crouse protocol
“ On the protocol for 1 year plus. Last years’s standard test score was 24 out of 30… beginning stage dementia. Last month my score was 29 out of 30! Alzheimer’s MD said…….”See you in a year!” Another post “ It took about 6 months before I started to begin to feel like the “old me” My test score went from “beginning dementia” to high normal. I plan to maintain the silica water regimen forever.” Report from a man diagnosed with MCI. He is now 81 (June 2022)
The test is the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE). For those not familiar with this test here is a description. “During the MMSE, a health professional asks a patient a series of questions designed to test a range of everyday mental skills. The maximum MMSE score is 30 points. A score of 20 to 24 suggests mild dementia, 13 to 20 suggests moderate dementia, and less than 12 indicates severe dementia.”
“Yesterday morning when I went to wake my mom, she announced, I took a shower!” Indeed she had. First time ever in her bathtub since moving in with us last July. (I’ve been having her use our master bath shower stall for safety, because it’s lower entry and has a built in seat.) First time to initiate and follow through with showering unassisted in over a year. First time to bathe unassisted in many months. She’s been drinking silicate or Fiji water for less than two months.”
2 weeks later “my mom walked out of her room this morning at 7 AM, dressed, lipstick, hat and earrings, ready for the day! And walking with as smooth a gait as I have seen since I can’t remember when.
For context, just before we started the Fiji water/ Silicade (4/10, 9 weeks ago) she was becoming so dependent on me and her cane that I was afraid I’d have to put her in a nursing home within months if not weeks. She was shuffling with less stability than Tim Conway in his old skits on Carol Burnett. Wetting her bed and self night and day even with incontinence briefs on. And regularly slept in till 10 AM even though I tried to get her to bed by 8 or 9 at the latest.
It was so scary. As I said before, we’re doing lots of things, trying to implement as much as we can of Dr. Bredesen‘s recommendations as well. The other things that seem to be making a huge difference are her spirometer breathing exercises, keeping her diet low-carb, and lots of exercise as she is able to tolerate it. Also having her sleep on her side to discourage mouth breathing.
She still has a long way to go but I am so ecstatic over the progress today I just had to share.
Thank you thank you thank you so much!” June 2022
“I came upon your husband almost 2 years ago and started to make my own silica water and it has changed my life. The brain fog is completely gone and there was a time when I stopped silica, just to see if it was really helping and let’s just say, I will never stop drinking silica water.” May 2024
The above information comes for a facebook page my wife Laurie Adamson had moderated: Alzheimer’s: Late and Early Onset, APOE-4
Here is the story of how my research into Alzheimer’s began.
My interest in silica water was inspired by a desire to help my mother slow or possibly reverse the progression of her Alzheimer’s disease. I read Dr. Christopher Exley’s work on daily silica water treatments improving cognition in some Alzheimer’s patients and hoped this might work for my mom73,78. 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 mentioned in the title refers to the water soluble silica called orthosilicic acid (OSA).
Alzheimer’s disease is a terminal disease that slowly erases ones memory and identity. In the U.S.A. we are witnessing an exponentially growing epidemic of Alzheimer’s (see Figure 22). Currently 700,000 people in the U.S.A. die every year from Alzheimer’s making it the sixth leading cause of death. It is estimated that 1 out of 3 people in the U.S.A. over 80 have Alzheimer’s.
But Alzheimer’s is not an inevitable part of ageing. There are locations in the world, such as Japan and Okinawa, with a longer life expectancy than the U.S.A. and where there is much lower percentage of people dying from Alzheimer’s than in the U.S.A. (see Table 24). These areas of the world have on average much higher levels of OSA in their drinking water than the U.S.A.
In Table 24 both male and female survival rates are the percentage of people 60 to 79 who will make it to age 90 in each location. This table shows that both male and female survival rate to age 90 is higher in Mainland Japan (e.g. Honshu) and Okinawa than the U.S.A. The table also shows the Alzheimer’s death rate in the U.S.A. compared with Mainland Japan and Okinawa is inversely correlated with average ppm OSA in drinking water. This OSA rich water is used for both drinking and crop irrigation.
The seven largest epidemiology studies looking at the link between aluminum in drinking water and the risk of Alzheimer’s have found over 100ppb of aluminum in drinking water increases the risk of Alzheimer’s1. In addition several of these studies found a dose response relationship between the concentration of aluminum and the risk of Alzheimer’s238-246. The good news is that one long-term study found that OSA greater than 18ppm in drinking water lowered the risk of Alzheimer’s246,247. A second long-term study also confirmed that women over 75 drinking OSA rich water 19ppm to 57ppm were less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and had higher cognitive performance than women drinking water with less than 19ppm OSA248.
