Good News ! Reduction of aluminum in the body by 40%

Dennis and I recently did a 24 hour urine test for aluminum. We reduced our body burden of aluminum by 40% in the past 2 years by drinking silica rich mineral water. We are now below the Healthy Adult category. Dennis is 77 and I am 69 years old. See table below.

Here is a link for ordering the test in the US. You have to have a lab near you and some states do not allow you to order tests yourself. order 24 hour urine test

We have been drinking silica water for 8 years and did our first test for aluminum 2 years ago.

These results are incredible as they prove that drinking 4 cups of OSA rich water each day and avoiding dietary aluminum can lower “aluminum accumulation”. This AD biomarker, can be reduced and maintained at levels below that of an average 22-year-old by drinking Silicade daily for 6 years and can be further reduced 40% by drinking Silicade daily for 2 more years. (Silicade is the recipe Dennis developed for making your own silica water)

Here are the results for 2021 and 2023

· Total 24-hour urinary aluminum levels in 2021:

· 0.74mmoles/24hr for Dennis

· 0.44mmoles/24hr for Laurie

· 2021 Healthy young adult category

· Total 24-hour urinary aluminum levels in 2023:

· 0.55mmoles/24hr for Dennis

· 0.33mmoles/24hr for Laurie

We also work hard at eliminating sources of aluminum we are exposed to.

Here is the table.

Improvements we have seen from drinking silica water:

Dennis and I did not have any noticeable cognitive issues prior to drinking silica water but we have seen improvements in our cognition. Here is a write up by Dennis. "At 77 I have no major medical conditions and I am in shape enough to lead a large group of new parents on a 1 ½ hour 3 mile hike in the woods every week. My skin is still very flexible and my hairdresser commented that my face does not have any wrinkles despite the fact I have a few wrinkles. I have no pain in my joints, hips, and knees. My eyesight is good with no pathology. My brain power remains undiminished as evidenced by the publication of my 4th book this year. Do I attribute this all to drinking silica water for 7 years, no. Silica water is responsible for my continuing to have low blood pressure (both my parents had/have heart disease). Silica water has helped maintain and improve my cognition. My word recall and my ability to retain what I have read and apply it have improved. I also attribute my good health to routine daily aerobic exercise which I have being doing my entire adult life (45 minutes every other day). In the morning I sometimes experience stiffness and for the first few minutes hiking. This has decreased somewhat since starting silica water."

The cognitive changes I noticed from drinking silica water are a “sharper brain”. For example, less word finding problems, less “senior moments” and my thinking is clearer and faster. The biggest surprise was we lost weight. Dennis and I did not consider ourselves needing to loose weight when we started drinking silica water. We lost the weight slowly over a year or so. I am now back to the weight I was in high school. Dennis is back to his weight in college.
