What is the most important thing I can do to reduce my aluminum intake ?
I ask my husband this question frequently as making the lifestyle changes, taking the supplements and the dissolved mineral is a lot to undertake especially if you aren't already doing some of the recommendations. His response is usually I can't say any one thing will reduce your risk of Alzheimer's and Stroke. Implementing all of them is the best protection.
This morning I asked my question in a slightly different way. I asked 'would you prioritize the supplements you recommend' ? Well I got an answer to this question : PQQ and Vitamin D are supplements you should start with if you don't want to begin taking all seven supplements. PQQ helps with important brain functions and Vitamin D helps your body eliminate aluminum. That is as much as I know and I just had to interrupt my husband in the middle of his exercising to ask about PQQ. Read his book to find out why you should take these supplements as he is the chemistry expert, I don't have a background in Chemistry nor did I do well in my High School Chemistry class but I loved my Chemistry teacher, Mr. Drew. PQQ 20 mg Vitamin D-3 1000 IU
I then asked what lifestyle change would you do first. He said eliminate aluminum cookware. Well that was my first post so I guess I am learning a lot from his book and our discussions. I am proud of myself !!!
Adding Silica (dissolved mineral) to your diet is the next step. Silica binds with aluminum and your body is then able to excrete the aluminum. For me taking this supplement helps me deal with the anxiety I have about the aluminum I am ingesting.
Dennis now has a formula for making silica water (see my post 8/20/2016). You can also get your silica from Fiji water but this is costly. Drink 3 to 4 cups of silica water around meal times.
There is now a video for making silicade. Make your own silica water

I just realize something really important I need to say regarding Aluminum.
Some of the information I have learned in this journey is so frightening. Aluminum is very scary as it accumulates in your brain and we don't excrete all of it even if we have silica in our diet. (Silica binds with aluminum and then the aluminum can be excreted) This is why older people have more problems with memory - we have had many more years to accumulate aluminum. So when you take action to lower aluminum in your diet you have to think about eliminating even the smallest quantities. Start with things you use on a daily basis or a regular basis.
Another thing I find frightening is how much aluminum we are exposed to. Each day I learn of new sources.

Welcome to by blog. My husband Dennis N. Crouse, who has a doctorate in chemistry from Harvard University, has published a book titled Prevent Alzheimer's Autism and Stroke with 7 supplement, 7 lifestyle changes and a dissolved mineral. the book is available on Amazon.
This blog is an opportunity for myself and people to discuss and ask questions about the information in his book. The focus will be on how you can begin to make the changes in your life so you can prevent yourself and your loved one's from getting Alzheimer's and Autism or having a stroke.
The first step you have to take is to inform yourself that Aluminum is a neurotoxin and the cause of Alzheimer's, Autism and Stroke. Read my husbands book to get this information. He has done an exhaustive review of the literature. Currently the research has reached a tipping point and there is no doubt that Aluminum is the cause of these diseases.
I have bought stainless steel cookware as presents for family and friends to replace their aluminum cookware. I wish I had enough money to do this for my entire family.
Throw out your aluminum foil and buy non stick Aluminum foil. We are all so addicted to aluminum foil I don't think it is realistic to go cold turkey on Aluminum foil. Don't bake, grill etc. in the disposable aluminum pans.
Next if you are a baker throw out your baking powder and make your own. My husband analyzed several brands of Aluminum Free Baking Powder and to our surprise THERE WAS ALUMINUM !! Do you have Bisquick in your closet - throw it out - it contains aluminum. Check any pancake mixes, cake mixes for aluminum. Check your frozen Pancakes and waffles they most likely contain aluminum in high amounts.
Recipe for making baking powder
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon corn starch (helps it to not cake)
It is a ratio of 2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part baking soda
I could not find a baking powder in the store which uses cream of tartar as the acid.
It has been an interesting journey looking at labels and throwing out things that contain aluminum. It lurks in places you never would suspect. My husband and I continue to learn of new sources 'hidden' in our kitchen and in our medicine cabinet. We have friends finding new sources all the time. Recently a friend emailed my husband asking if aluminum lake is bioavailable aluminum (meaning your body will absorb the aluminum). My husband's answer was yes. Aluminum lake was on the ingredient label in my friend's multivitamin. Aluminum lake is used as a colorant for pills. This got me thinking about my multivitamins as they are yellow. My mutlivitamins are aluminum free but decided to check other colored pill I take, the CVS fiber pills which I take are orange and contained aluminum lake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was both shocked and royally pissed off !!!!!!

The next step is to take action. Here are some tips on how to reduce your aluminum intake. Go to your kitchen with a magnet and test your pots and pans. You want to throw out anything that is Aluminum. If the magnet sticks to your pot, it is made of stainless steel and it is a keeper. If the magnet doesn't stick it may be made of Aluminum. Your next test is the scratch test. Get a key and scratch the pan, if the key scratches the pan easily it is most likely made from aluminum. If there is any pitting in the pan it is definitely aluminum and throw it out. If the key doesn't scratch the pan it is a stainless steel pan and a keeper. Note some stainless steel pans can be scratched with a key. In addition, some stainless steel pans have a lower amount of nickel and won't pass the magnet test.
I was shocked when I looked at Pots and Pans at Bed Bath and Beyond. Most pans were made of Aluminum !!!
