Increasing Aluminum Exposure

Human exposure to aluminum has increased exponentially since the beginning of the aluminum age. The aluminum age began in 1888 when a low cost process to purify aluminum from bauxite was developed by Karl Joseph Bayer.  Since that time worldwide aluminum production has exponentially increased as well as the incidence of Alzheimer’s and autism (see figures 21 and 22).  These neurological disorders are not ancient but instead have grown from only a few known cases to millions over the last century. These two disorders were discovered by psychiatrists with years of experience working with a single unique case that differed from all cases they had previously examined.  

In 1888 Doctor Alois Alzheimer began working at a psychiatric hospital in Frankfort Germany.  Thirteen years later at age 35 Doctor Alzheimer started observing a hospital patient named Auguste Deter. She had unique and new behavioral symptoms and had lost her short term memory. After she died in 1906 her brain was autopsied by Dr. Alzheimer. Using special stains he found beta-amyloid (Ab) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and in his own words after translation:

“The case presented even in the clinic such a different picture, that it could not be categorized under known disease headings, and also anatomically it provided a result which departed from all previously known disease pathology”²²⁶  

The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease has grown exponentially since 1906 and is simultaneously correlated with the growth of worldwide aluminum production as plotted in figure 21.

In 1930 Doctor Leo Kanner began developing a child psychiatry service at John Hopkin’s Hospital in Baltimore. Eight years later he started observing a child with a unique and new syndrome that he considered a modern disease. His belief is supported by the fact that it took him eight years working as a child psychiatrist to find his first case of autism and five more years to find 10 more cases. A child psychiatrist working in similar position today would find his first case of autism in a week, if not sooner. In 2016 it was estimated that 1 in 32 children born in the U.S. has autism. This corresponds to 110,000 autistic children born during 2016 in the U.S.

The prevalence of autism has grown exponentially since 1938 and is simultaneously correlated with the growth of worldwide aluminum production as plotted in figure 22.

A genetic mutation can’t explain the approximate 90 years of exponential growth of both Alzheimer’s and autism. This is because during the last 200 years the average human generation time is 30 years with only three generations in 90 years. A single mutation can only spread to at most 500 people in three generations¹. What can explain the exponential growth of both Alzheimer’s and autism is an environmental factor whose production and chronic exposure to humans has exponentially increased since its introduction. Aluminum is a likely causal factor as it is currently used in drinking water treatment, food processing, pharmaceuticals, cookware, and as an adjuvant in vaccines. Aluminum is also a likely causal factor because it is neurotoxic and causes neurodegeneration a common symptom of both Alzheimer’s and autism.           

Both Alzheimer’s disease and autism are modern mismatch diseases in which our evolved mechanisms for aluminum protection are failing to protect us from an exponential increase in aluminum exposure¹.  There are other mismatch diseases in which aluminum is a causal factor that will be discussed in this chapter. In all cases these mismatch diseases can be prevented and possibly reversed with supplemental silica water. 

Aluminum is also the cause of Alzheimer's.  Dennis N Crouse has published 2 evidenced based books.
