This book is about silica water containing an overlooked miracle molecule that
protects our life and maintains our health. It is in our bodies even before
birth but during our life it ebbs and flows and needs supplementation to be
steadily maintained. This superstar of a
molecule is called orthosilicic acid (OSA). For most organisms, including
humans, it is essential for life. In fact, it is said that OSA is the most
important molecule for life on earth. OSA is a miracle molecule because it
protects plants, animals, and even humans from toxic forms of aluminum.
We are fortunate on earth to have oxygen and
silicon as the two most abundant elements in the earth’s crust. Over millions
of years silicon has become oxidized by oxygen to a variety of silicon oxides
that have in turn formed into a variety of silicon containing minerals as
described in Chapter 1. One of these silicon oxides is OSA a water soluble
oxide of silicon. As life evolved on earth so did unique ways to use OSA for
protection from aluminum, the third most common element in the earth’s crust.
The mechanisms by which plants and animals, including humans, use OSA as
protection from aluminum toxicity are described in Chapter 2.
Aluminum has become more bioavailable since the
dawn of the Aluminum Age in the
1880’s when a process to purify aluminum from bauxite was developed. This has
opened a Pandora’s Box of aluminum compounds and products that have
exponentially increased over the last 120 years and are now in our drinking
water, food, kitchen-ware, drugs, vaccines, and even the air we inhale. These
products, listed in Appendix II, increase both our aluminum ingestion and
aluminum accumulation in our bodies. It is chronic aluminum accumulation that
is involved in the etiology of a variety of diseases that shorten our lives including:
Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis (i.e. heart disease), autism, cancer,
multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, seizures, and osteoporosis as will be
discussed in Chapter 5 of this book.
Writing this book has been a journey, as along
the way I have met people who have change the course of my thinking and
writing. For instance at my local library’s author’s day I met the author,
Martha R.A. Fields, who is originally from Okinawa, Japan. Martha told me that
on Okinawa Island there is a high density of centenarians. In addition,
demographers have studied Okinawans and found lower than normal rates of
Alzheimer’s, atherosclerosis, and cancer. They have also found that Okinawans
have a higher probability than normal of living to 90 and beyond. These facts
changed my thinking as Okinawans provide a longitudinal study of what factors
are important for avoiding terminal diseases and living a long life.
Drug companies are currently spending billions
of dollars on multi-year studies looking for preventatives and cures for
Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and cancer.
What if there are already published studies on populations of 90 to 100
year olds whose longevity is due to abnormally low rates of Alzheimer’s, heart
disease, and cancer? If these studies exist they would be equivalent to having
century long longitudinal studies just waiting for people to find what they
have in common that prevented and possibly cured these diseases.
Amazingly, in addition to Okinawa there are
four other small geographic zones on the earth that have been identified as
having populations with higher survival rates of reaching 90+ years of age than
surrounding areas2. These
zones are called “Blue Zones”. The environment and lifestyle of these zones
can potentially teach valuable lessons that may allow us to achieve healthy longevity by preventing and
possibly curing terminal diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease,
cancer, seizures, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease.
Could it be that all five blue zones have in common
substrata rich in silicate minerals? If so underground fresh water in contact
with this substrata could bubble to the surface as OSA rich drinking
water. Chapter 3 of this book discloses the secret of health Blue Zone longevity
- how and why drinking silica rich water results in healthy longevity.
By just having silica water (e.g. Fiji water)
delivered to their door and eliminating common sources of aluminum from their
diet, my parents made their home in Iowa a micro-Blue Zone. Due to their resiliency adapting to changing
lifestyles, my mother has regained her short term memory and stopped the
progression of her Alzheimer’s disease.
At 95 and 92 years of age my father and mother exemplify what others
could do to improve their individual
longevity.
