an adequate collagen matrix is essential for continued regular young cell growth and replacement.  CELLFOOD® Silica supplementation is highly recommended for maintaining the elasticity of the skin and organs, and to prevent the sagging and flabby appearance associated with aging and weight-loss. * Keep in mind, the outer appearance of the body is a good indicator of the inner condition. Broken veins, weak skin structure, etc., all indicate the condition of the organs, vascular and skeletal health. Silica should be at the very cornerstone of your anti-aging program. 

Anti-oxidants rid the body of free radicals; by-products of burnt electrons and absorbed toxins. Keeping the body clean insures healthier cells, relieves stress on the immune system and slowing of the aging process. You may learn how to prevent disease and illness altogether!  As stated again below by Zoltan P. Rona M.D., M.Sc., in the book "SILICA The Amazing Gel", and author of The Joy of Health, "I am convinced that the most important of all the anti-oxidants is Silica" also, "It is an undisputed fact that healthy people have blood vessels and other tissues with greater levels of silicon than those suffering from degenerative diseases."   

Strengthen the condition of your heart, arteries, create stronger bones, healthier-younger skin and muscles, all with CELLFOOD® SILICA!

Introduction                                   

Dr. Edith Carlisle, 1972 recognized Silica as an essential trace mineral. Research has since proven Silica is an absolute requirement in fulfillment of structural and metabolic needs of all plants, animals and humans. Birchall (1995) "Animals are not good bio-available sources for humans. Also, plants grown in Silica deficient soils have a lower Silica content". 

Silica stems from a pure mineral crystal source, and more-so than the vegetarian form " Horsetail"  has a chemical composition that uniquely assists the metabolizing of Silica in the human alimentary canal. Our CELLFOOD® Silica is this dietary colloidal active formula, ionic, highly dispersed in purified water and CELLFOOD®.

1993, Nobel prize Winner Professor Adolf Butenandt, proved Silicon an essential mineral to sustain life. Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earths crust. In our body, silicon represents about 0.005% of our body weight. Our body has an essential need for silicon, in the form of "Silica". Silica is especially needed in the lungs, spleen, lymph nodes, blood and blood vessels, connective tissue, nails, hair, skin, bone cartilage and tendons.

Silica loss is visually noticeable first through the dehydrated wrinkling of skin, flabby skin, brittle nails, lifeless hair, female hair loss at any age, and lack of elasticity in the skin, but also within the vascular and skeletal systems and organs. 

As we partake and witness the destruction of the ozone, air quality,  water quality, and food quality of this planet, it is also becoming an undisputed fact that if the human body is going to withstand the effects of its environment, it must do so with powerful antioxidants!

In the recent Klaus Kaufmann book, "SILICA The Amazing Gel", Mr. Kaufmann demonstrates the vital necessity of Silica for longevity and disease prevention. In reference to many diseases, this low profile, but essential mineral proves versatile and effective, time and time again. In the midst of diseases and health problems; brittle nails, hair loss, osteoporosis, degenerative disk disease, arteriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, cancer, diabetes, aging, gastritis, ulcers, recurrent infections, and skin disorders are among the list which can respond favorably to high doses of Silica supplementation.

New discoveries now help us prevent bone loss. It's important to stress the relationship from the studies where Silica is concerned.

Carlisle (1970) reported Silica plays a vital role in the formation of the bone matrix and connective tissue, exactly where the bone originates, and the most active building site of new or young bone. As calcium is deposited on the bone matrix,  Silica is replaced by calcium as the structural mineral. Silica acts like a magnet for calcium. This process involves the forming of a collagen matrix. The two minerals work synergistically. A deficiency in either results in poor bone matrix.  Once the mineral matrix is formed, the collagen framework is established to maintain a healthy bone structure. As we age our Silica levels decrease by over 60%, as does calcium absorption. In women over 35, Silica supplementation is recommended to prevent bone decalcification.  

The craze for Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D and Phosphorus supplementation has left out one key, base ingredient, SILICA. Although calcium research is extensive, Silica research is still ongoing and under funded. One day we predict that the importance of Silica supplementation will be as wide-spread as calcium and Vitamin C. 

Doesn't it make sense that to supplement with a good calcium product, one should also supplement with Silica if over 35 years old, and insure the mineral Silica is present so the bone can accept  the calcium and finish its job? 

BACK PAIN

Silica also improves the ability of cells to bond with water, and is essential for proper disk and surrounding tissues in the vertebrae, to maintain hydration, preventing pain associated with dehydration. (As the water filled disks become dehydrated, the vertebrae's stack together, get out of alignment,  and nerves can get pinched, causing more pain and discomfort). If you have chronic back pain, increasing your water consumption and adding CELLFOOD® Colloidal SILICA may improve your conditions immensely! 

ARTERIOSCLEROSIS

Carlisle (1972) among reporting Silica plays an essential role in bone formation, also reports that inadequate dietary Silica may contribute to arteriosclerosis and hypertension, along with some bone disorders and the aging process. Schwarz (1977) argued that low-Silica-intake was correlated with a high incidence of  arteriosclerosis. In his research he found Silica is highly deficient in a diseased heart, especially where calcification has occurred. 

Carlisle (1974) Loeper et al., (1978) also showed presence of Silica in bone forming cells called "osteoblasts" and in collagen. They observed that the Silica content of these tissues decreased with age and with diseases of these tissues. 

  Louis Pasteur predicted in 1878 "that someday Silica would be found to be an important therapeutic substance for many diseases and would play a significant role in human health and consequent nutrition". By the early 20th century, reports from Germany & France suggested that Pasteur's prediction would become fact. Included in these reports are successful conclusions in therapeutic treatments of numerous diseases ranging from arteriosclerosis, dermatitis, hypertension and tuberculosis.  Further reports supporting the nutritional significance of supplemental Silica : (Mancinella 1991; Seaborn and Nielson 1993; Birchall 1995)

Anti-oxidants rid the body of free radicals, by-products of burnt electrons and absorbed toxins. Keeping the body clean insures healthier cells, relieves stress on the immune system and slowing of the aging process. You may prevent disease and illness altogether!  

MORE VALUABLE INFORMATION . . . . . . .

Silica is found in every living substance on earth, and is a vital component to the health and  regeneration of human cells.  70% of a birds plumage is silica. In human blood there are 3 forms of silica: 10 percent is water soluble silica, 60 percent binds to albumin bodies and 30 percent binds to fats. Human connective tissue is richest in silica. Silica is nature's building block. Silica is vital for protein synthesis and metabolism. Without proper silica support, cells fatten. In cancer cells, due to oxygen starvation, the cancer cells also fatten. 

Proper silica support halts this process. 

The Europeans found the therapeutic healing effects of their natural hot springs, which not surprising, are highly credited to the silica dispersion mineral in those waters that are between 70mg/liter to 400 mg/liter.  Therapy with mineral waters is very popular in Europe, and becoming more desired in the US. The famous Dunaris spring water in the German Eiffel has a silica acid content of 80 mg per liter. The Marienbad Forest Spring in Germany - 400 mg of silicic acid per liter. In ancient times they may not have known what the exact components of those waters contained, but they did realize the healing effects they experienced due to their bathing in mineral rich waters. *Remember, Silica is highly bio-available, and easily absorbed through the skin.

Silica loss occurs simultaneously with colloidal physical tissue change, specifically in connective tissue. This starts a chain reaction that involves the halting of chrysosis (leucosin), carotenoid synthesis, photosynthetic O₂ production, and blocked RNA, chlorophyll, and total protein synthesis.  Glutamic acid decreases. Also, fatty acid synthesis increases by 100 percent. This demonstrates how silica is much more important to cell synthesis than simply as a cell wall stabilizer. Silica is vital for new cell growth and healthy cell synergy. Through silica supplementation, cell metabolism can be reactivated, enhancing the cell's ability for duplication, division and new growth. This means that the tissue aging process can not only be slowed down, but actually reversed!  Supplementation is highly suggested in maintaining adequate silica levels within the body.
