For Alzheimer’s Disease:
Silicon dioxide is crucial in the development of strong nail, bones, teeth and also hair. Research indicates that a lack of this mineral may lead to arthritis, poor bone formation, unhealthy skin and poor tooth development. Thus, silicon dioxide can help counteract the effects of the aluminum found in the body, which may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
It’s also been found that higher amounts of aluminum are found in the brain lesions of patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. It has been discovered that silicon, through its bonding with aluminum, helps prevent the absorption of the latter in the gastrointestinal tract, and it can lower the signs and symptoms of aluminum toxicity.
