My mother in law has late onset Alzheimer's and for the past 6 years my husband Dennis N Crouse who is a biochemist has been researching ways to help his mother. He achieved his goal. She has been drinking silica water for 2 years and the progression of the disease has stopped and her cognition has improved. In the past 2 years my husband has become fascinated with researching the health benefits of silica water. Here is a write up he did on silica water and APOE-E4.
"The exponential growth of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) incidence is not due to an exponential increase in APOE-E4 allele frequency. Instead the exponential growth of AD is due to the rapidly increasing production of an environmental chemical that potentiates APOE-E4 making one of its protein products or their derivatives, such as oligomeric beta-amyloid peptide, more neurotoxic. This was proven to be the case by Denise Drago in 2008 when she tested a variety of metal ions (e.g. aluminum, iron, zinc, and copper) and found that only aluminum when bound to the oligomeric beta-amyloid peptide resulted in significantly increased neurotoxicity.
Aluminum is a causal factor of AD in people with and without the E4 allele of the APOE gene, but in those with this allele there is more oligomeric beta-amyloid for aluminum to toxify. For this reason usually those with the APOE-E4 gene have a higher risk of AD than those without the E4 allele. But what if there is an exception? What if there is a region on earth where people with the APOE-E4 gene have the same risk of AD as those without the APOE-E4 gene? What if people in this region drink OSA rich silica water and eat an OSA rich diet that lowers their aluminum body-burden to the point where they are protected from the APOE-E4 gene?
I am a scientist and a writer and when working on a recent book I discovered just such a region of the world. Since OSA ingestion facilitates the elimination of aluminum from the body, finding such a region supports the contention that aluminum’s binding to beta-amyloid peptide is the reason people with the APOE-E4 gene have a higher incidence of AD. I believe people with the APOE-E4 gene need to be aware that just by drinking OSA rich water and eating a diet high in OSA they can significantly lower their risk of AD. Here is a write up I have done on this region and what I discovered:
