Silica. A major mineral is missing in many soils and most soil tests do not even monitor its presence. This mineral can increase stress resistance, boost photosynthesis and chlorophyll content, improve drought resistance, salt tolerance and soil fertility and prevent lodging. lt can also reduce insect pressure, frost damage and destructive disease while lowering irrigation rates, neutralising heavy metal toxicity and countering the negative effects of excess sodium. If I were to tell you that this same missing mineral can increase root growth, boost yield and enhance crop quality, you could well ask, “how could we have overlooked something so important?” And you would be correctIt has been a serious oversight. The mineral in question is silicon , and science is rapidly revealing the scope and scale of our silicon neglect.

Poverty in a Sea of Abundance Little was known about the multiple roles of silicon until recently. Cell Strength is Resilience Silicon and Sun Power Silicon – The Stress Savior. The Many Benefits of Silica Supplementation - Youthful Skin, Hair, Nails, and Healthy Bones. More Silica Please? Silica Supplementation for Healthy Bones Osteoporosis is an indicator of the aging process. As the calcium in our body structure leeches, our bones become brittle and weak.

Using only a calcium supplement cannot remedy or stop this threatening and crippling disease because the body cannot absorb and make use of the calcium without the presence of Silica. Data suggests that, instead of affecting healing, supplemental mineral calcium, in contrast, speeds up the leeching away of bone calcium and thus accelerates the degenerative process of osteoporosis and similar diseases that affect the connective tissues in the human body. In the case of osteoporosis, Silica can alleviate the pain and may restore the body’s self repair process. It is important to know that in osteoporosis, thinning of the bones takes place due to the insufficient manufacturing of the surrounding protein medium in which calcium salts first deposit. Silica as a Source of Youth The Many Benefits of Silica: Silica. Bioactive Silicon (OSA) Improves Aged Skin and Reduces Wrinkling: Silica. Silicon dioxide (SiO2), commonly known as silica, is one of the most common compounds on earth.

The best known forms of silica are sand, quartz, and glass. Silica is essential to both plants and animals for integrity of their tissues. Although, silica must first be converted in to another compound, known as orthosilicic acid (Si(OH)4), before it can be utilized in humans. Orthosilicic acid is formed in nature as silica is dissolved by water. Silica is essential for the formation of the proteins collagen and elastin. Osteoporosis- Silica is a piezoelectric material that generates electricity under pressure. Osteoarthritis (joint inflammation)- Silica is essential for the formation of cartilage, and its strength. Emphysema- Loss of elastin in the lung alveoli prevents normal expansion and contraction of the alveoli. Diverticulitis (inflammation of the diverticuli)- Loss of elastin in the intestinal diverticuli prevents these pouches from contracting back to their normal state.

FG Xpress Power Strips - Dr. Adam Saucedo on the Benefits of Germanium. Sulphur. Selenium. Candida. Selenium deficiency and anemia appear to be the biggest factors in promoting candida growth. Years ago when I had hypoT I also had a severe candida infection. I found a book titled "Candida: Silver (Mercury) Fillings and the Immune System" which eventually led me to getting my mercury fillings removed.

Following this and supplementation with zinc and selenium, my candida and hypoT both ended. Experiments with animals show that candida growth can be increased by selenium deprivation and reduced by selenium supplementation. Other studies show that anemia and iron deficiency increase candida growth. Another study showed that women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis are deficient in zinc compared to normals and that only a mild zinc deficiency is necessary for this recurring problem. Basically it seems that the deficiencies associated with candidiasis correlate very well with the deficiencies associated with hypothyroidism.

Iodine. Iodine, the Ultimate Healing Trace Minerals for Cysts, Thyroid, PCOD and more. Iodine to the Rescue. Anyone who tells you to stay away from iodine is a medical idiot. Actually that statement does not cover the story of medical cruelty and the pharmaceutical terrorism that is centered on iodine phobia that is rampant in the medical world today. One of my neighbors, who has cancer, recently visited the Gerson Clinic in Mexico and came back with a protocol suggesting one drop of Lugol’s a day.[1] I of course have him taking much more. Dr. Gabriel Cousens recently wrote, “Recently Dr. Mercola surprisingly stated that the highest amount of daily iodine intake should be no more than 400 micrograms. This is only slightly higher than the FDA recommendation, which is 150-290 micrograms daily, dependent upon age, gender and life cycle.

The National Institutes of Health specifically cites Lugol’s iodine as being poisonous, and according to the powers that be in the medical world, so is water because it can kill people through drowning. In Dr. I reported in my book that Dr. Cruelty in Action Dr.
