Just wanted to say that what I posted DOES NOT conflict with natural healing. IP6 for example is found in numerous plants. Just because it is extracted does not alter its properties. That would be like saying that an herbal tea conflicts with natural healing principles because it has been extracted and is not in its natural form as found in nature.
By the way, where do you get distilled water in nature? Even rainwater quickly reacts with gases and dust in the air. And when it comes in to contact with the earth it reacts with the minerals of the earth along with plant acids, alkaloids, etc. So drinking distilled water is totally contrary to what nature has provided us for natural healing. And it has been proven over and over that the more pure water is the more solvent it becomes. In fact highly purified water is extremely corrosive. The solvent properties are why water pulls vitamins and minerals from the body. It is referred to as the universal solvent for a reason. And water does not have a brain to say "I will only take the toxins and leave the good stuff". Water will take whatever it can contact and dissolve. If it did not do this then we would quickly die from an overload of minerals and vitamins. Water helps to facilitate the removal of these compounds, which can also be toxic. Pure water though just grabs whatever. If water is remineralized first, which can be easily done with naturally occurring minerals, the water will have to give up the beneficial minerals in an exchange reaction with toxins, and vitamins and minerals rather than a robbing action. With some of the things claimed on this site it really makes me wonder how people managed to live longer than a week without things like distilled water. The fact is that many of the healthiest people in the world drink water from rivers and wells that are naturally saturated with health giving minerals. Furthermore, if you check the medical studies you will find that purified waters such as distilled and reverse osmosis waters contribute to the formation of heart disease. A lot of this has to do with the ability of these waters to remove beneficial minerals such as magnesium and silica that help to prevent the formation of arteriosclerosis and that help to keep the coronary artery open and blood pressure down.
As for what came first the disease or the organ failure, that is also debatable. Take for instance cancer. It is not organ failure that causes the cancer. The vast majority of cancers are caused from viruses. Yet a malignant tumor can compress or block an organ leading to failure of the organ. Hemochromotosis has several causes. One is through heredity. It is also believed that it can have a viral origin as well. Either way the process of hemochromotosis starts long before any liver failure. the liver does not fail leading to hemochromotosis.
As for Schulze and Christopher they are very old school. They relied heavily on herbs that we now know are not safe for long term use. For example berberine herbs (goldenseal, barberry, Oregon grape root, gold thread, etc.) that can kill the flora, damage the intestinal lining, and raise blood pressure after a few weeks of use. We have learned a lot about natural healing and herbs since their time and the natural health field needs to stay caught up so they are not relying on old outdated formulas when safer and more effective herbs and herbal formulations are available.
I was not referring to bamboo in a can. The shoots would actually have very little silica. It is the silica content of the bamboo that gives the plant its strength. Bamboo shoots are hardly stiff or strong. If they were we would bust our teeth on them trying to eat them. Bamboo stalks are used in Chinese medicine and can be readily obtained from any Chinese herb supplier or shop. Bamboo is seven times higher in silica than horsetail grass and does not contain vasoconstrictive nicotine. In fact bamboo is a great vasodilator making it especially great for heart function.
Aluminum has never been proven to cause any damage to the brain. They once thought decades ago that it could contribute to Alzheimer's because they found high levels of aluminum in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Present does not mean cause though. In fact the evidence is becoming stronger every day that aluminum has absolutely nothing to do with the formation of Alzheimer's. Calcification appears to be a primary factor according to more recent research. By the way, silica helps to remove aluminum from the body as well as lead. I'll bet Schulze and Christopher were not aware of those facts!
