Your post of course interested me~! I am very interested
in the body's need of Silica. The way I have chosen to
incorporate it into my own health maintenance protocol
is by using Diatomaceous Earth.

This year, for the holidays, I have made up jars of DE
and printed out the info below and am giving it to my
friends and family in an effort to raise awareness of
this important mineral.

It also is good to use for animals/pets, and in the garden.
You can find more info at the link at bottom of the post.

Diatomaceous Earth - Human Use

Diatomaceous Earth is 84% Silicon Dioxide (Silica)
There is no life without Silica !!

In 1939, the Nobel Prize winner for chemistry, Professor Adolf Butenant, proved
that life can not exist without Silica.

In the 2003 book "Water & Salt" Dr. Barbara Hendel states: "Silica
it the most important trace mineral for human health!"

Silica plays an important role in many body functions and has a direct relationship
to mineral absorption. The average human body holds approximately seven grams of
silica, a quantity far exceeding the figures for other important minerals such as
iron.

Lets look at some of the benefits of Silica:*

Lower High Blood Pressure!

Of the thousands of people that are using Diatomaceous Earth, everyone that has
high blood pressure has reported that it has gone down. It has been so thrilling
to talk to people all over the United States and have them tell their stories.
I am not just talking a few points---I am talking about LIFE-CHANGING numbers.
Doctors are amazed--customers are amazed---You will be too.

Lower high Cholesterol!

Just as Diatomaceous Earth has been lowering blood pressure--it has also been lowering cholesterol!!. I have not talked with one person that has high cholesterol that has not had lower numbers after taking Diatomaceous Earth. Most are reporting 40-60 points lower after only 2 weeks on DE. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it works!

My joints feel so much better!!

Osteoporosis is a symptom of the aging process. As calcium in our body system depletes, our bones become brittle and weak. Taking only a calcium supplement can not correct or stop this threatening and crippling disease because the body cannot assimilate and make use of the calcium without the presence of silica. Evidence suggests that, instead of affecting healing, supplemental mineral calcium, on the contrary, accelerates the leaching away of bone calcium and thus hastens the degenerative process of osteoporosis and similar diseases that affect the supportive and connective tissues in the human body.

For osteoporosis, silica can stop the pain and even restore the bodies self repair
process. Osteoporosis symptoms attack women primarily after menopause but the degenerative process starts much earlier in their younger days. More women are dying of fractures caused by osteoporosis than of cancer of the breast, cervix, and uterus combined.

Silica is responsible for the depositing of minerals into the bones, especially
calcium. It speeds up the healing of fractures and also reduces scarring at the
site of a fracture. More and more research evidence shows that through a transmutation process, silica is turned into calcium when it is needed. That is why some scientists refer to silica as a precursor of calcium. Even when calcium is insufficient, the body can turn silica into calcium that the bones need.
Nature's Internal Cosmetic!

In Europe and Asia Diatomaceous Earth is used extensively as a health and beauty
product for hair, skin, nails, bones, and joints. They have no FDA.

Tissue degeneration accelerates due to aging when connective tissue develops an
increasing inability to retain moisture when left unassisted. Silica can help slow
the degenerative process of connective tissue. With silica, vitality and life, which
are often lost as the years accumulate, can be naturally maintained or even restored
to your skin. Collagen, largely made up of silica, is the glue that holds us together. If our body has enough silica glucosaminoglycane, the collagen will make us look younger. Silica helps with skin problems and injuries including itching, rashes, abscesses, boils, acne, callouses, warts, eczemas, burns, frostbite, benign skin sores, insect bites and bed sores.

If you regularly follow a silica regimen, your skin will keep its young look. A
good silica supplementation program works far better than other products for maintaining healthier and longer lasting collagen.

Hair That Grows!

Hair is natures greatest beauty enhancer. Hair deserves to be pampered. Hair at
90 micrograms per gram is almost as rich in silica as are healthy bones, which contain 100 micrograms per gram. Silica is a major component of hair. Using a good silica supplement should be part of your ongoing hair care program for revitalizing hair. Silica helps to prevent baldness, stimulates healthier hair growth and assures beautiful shine, luster and strength.

Teeth and Gums!

By hardening the enamel, silica prevents cavities and preserves teeth. Silica also
prevents bleeding gums, gum atrophy, and recession that causes the loosening of
teeth, which could ultimately lead to tooth loss. Silica effectively fights ulceration and the decay of bones,teeth and also lessens inflammation.

Tough As Nails!

Your nail plates are complex protein structures that grow four to five millimeters
per month on average. With silica supplementation, fragile nails become normal within
a short period of time. Silica will beautify the appearance of your nails and improve
their hardness, making them shinier and less prone to breaking.

The restorative effects of silica will be most noticeable on your hair, skin, nails
and teeth. Our skin and hair require silica essentially for the same purpose as
do other tissues. As we know, the supporting collagen underneath the skin enhances
elasticity and beauty. Collagen owes that quality to silica, which provides a beautiful complexion that is more than skin deep.

More Benefits!

* Silica lowers bad cholesterol and raises good
* Silica fades age spots
* Silica stimulates metabolism for higher energy levels
* Diatomaceous earth has a negative charge and bacteria has a positive charge.
It is believed that diatomaceous earth sweeps bacteria out of the body by trapping
it in it's honeycomb shaped skeletal form.
* Silica supplementation helps repair and maintain vital lung tissues and protects
them from pollution. By maintaining or restoring the elasticity of lung tissues,
silica reduces inflammation in bronchitis.
* It acts as a cough decreasing agent. Silica tones the upper respiratory tract
(nose, pharynx, larynx) and reduces swelling because of its positive action on the
lymphatic system.
* Silica supplementation keeps menopause free of stress and helps to prevent
many unwanted side-effects of menopause
* Cancer can not survive in cells that have the correct levels of Silica.
* Silica works with other antioxidants to prevent premature aging and to preserve
youthfulness.
* Silica can help prevent kidney stones and heal infections of the urinary tract.
It is a natural diuretic which can increase excretion of urine by 30 percent, thus
flushing the water-excreting system and restoring normal function to these vital
organs.
* The presence of sufficient silica in the intestines will reduce inflammation
of the intestinal tract. It can cause disinfection in the case of stomach and intestinal
mucus and ulcers. Silica can prevent or clear up diarrhea and its opposite, constipation.
* Silica will help normalize hemorrhoidal tissues.
* In regulating and normalizing the bowels, silica has a pleasant side effect;
it can alleviate lower back pain, which often troubles the elderly.
* Silica proves effective with female discharge, abscesses and ulcers in the
genital area and cervix, as well as mastitis (especially for breast feeding mothers).
* The intake of silica acts as a supportive treatment for inflammation of the
middle ear. Because of the beneficial effectiveness on the lymphatic system, silica
can be used for swelling of the lymph nodes in the throat.
* Has anti-inflammatory disinfecting, absorbing and odor binding effects.
* Silica can normalize circulation and regulate high blood pressure (hypertension).
* Silica can decrease vertigo, headache, tinnitus (buzzing of the ears) and
insomnia.
* Silica can help diabetes by promoting synthesis of elastase inhibitor by the
pancreas.
* Silica can help arterial disease by strengthening the blood vessels. Studies
confirm that with age, silica disappears from the aorta, the heart's key blood
vessel thus weakening its critical connective tissue and resulting in a greater
cardiac risk.
* Silica can help prevent Tuberculosis.
* By improving the elasticity of the joints, silica helps rheumatism.
* Silica has inhibitory effects on coronary diseases.
* Silica can help avoiding or alleviating Alzheimers disease by preventing the
body from absorbing aluminum and may flush out aluminum from the tissues. Silica
can stimulate the immune system.

Dosage:

Daily silica needs of humans are 20-30 mg. In Years past, our bodies would get enough
silica from our diet. Unfortunately, many of the foods we now eat have lost their
nutritional value due to soil nutrient depletion, food processing, and chemicals.
Supplemental use of Perma-Diatomaceous Earth is essential to total body health.

In my studies and searches of the internet, people are taking 1 or 2 heaping tablespoons of Diatomaceous Earth every day. Myself and my family take 1 heaping tablespoon per day. We mix it with grapefruit juice. Others are mixing it with water, soda pop, juice, or whatever liquid they enjoy. Some are even putting DE in protein shakes, applesauce and yogurt. Perma-Guard Diatomaceous Earth is Food Grade and very pure. There is no unpleasant taste. Since it will not dissolve, stirring several times while drinking will prevent settling. Some have experienced higher energy levels, so it is probably better not to take it right before sleeping. No worry about getting too much--any excess silica not needed by the body is automatically eliminated through the blood stream, kidneys and intestines.
