Silicon-rich mineral water could halt Alzheimer’s
- Aluminium is found in almost everything we eat or drink such as cake and wine
- The chemical element accumulates in our bodies, especially our brains
- The toxin has been strongly linked to the development of Alzheimer’s Disease
- But silicon-rich mineral water could help the body excrete it through urine
- Professor Chris Exley argues consuming enough could help stave off the disease

They say you are what you eat, but choosing the correct tipple can also have a beneficial effect on your health.
Especially, it seems, when it comes to drinking water that’s rich in silicic acid.
Aluminium, heavily linked as a cause of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis, is known to build-up in the body.
Here, in a piece for the Hippocratic Post, Professor Chris Exley explains how the harmful toxin can be flushed out by drinking certain water.
Hidden dangers? UK tap water has low levels of silicic acid which can help detox aluminium
I think everyone should drink silicon-rich mineral water every day to remove toxic aluminium from their bodies and brains.
Over the last 10 years, my team at Keele University has been looking into the effectiveness of drinking water high in silicon to help remove aluminium from the body.
Unfortunately, aluminium is found widely in our environment. We live in the ‘aluminium age’ and our bodies accumulate it over time, especially in our brains.

What we have found in clinical trials, involving both healthy individuals and individuals with disease, is that drinking around a litre of silicon-rich mineral water every day can speed up the removal of toxic aluminium from the body via the kidneys and ultimately urine.
In fact, our studies showed that individuals experienced significant reductions in their body burden of aluminium, including falls of up to 70 per cent in one case, over a 12 week period.
Silicon-rich mineral waters help to remove aluminium from the body because they are actually rich in soluble silicon or silicic acid.
Pervasive: Aluminium is found in tea, cakes, bread, wine, cosmetics and drugs like aspirin
This form of silicon immediately follows water molecules through the gut wall and into the bloodstream where it forms a complex with aluminium called an hydroxyaluminosilicate.
BRITAIN’S WORST POISONING FROM ALUMINIUM SULPHATE
Carole Cross, 59, died in 2004 from a rare and aggressive form of Alzheimer’s disease usually associated with much older people suffering from the condition.
She had been living in the Camelford area of north Cornwall in July 1988 when the poisoning occurred.
She was one of 20,000 customers affected when a relief lorry driver mistakenly added 20,000 tons of aluminium sulphate to the drinking water at the Lowermoor treatment works.
Her husband, Dr Doug Cross, believes her exposure to high levels of aluminium during the incident caused her death and at her inquest a coroner ruled there was ‘a very real possibility’ this was the case.
This form of aluminium can be easily filtered from the blood by the kidney. Hence, silicon-rich mineral waters increase the excretion of aluminium in the urine.
Our efforts now are focused on establishing without doubt that these reduced levels of aluminium can be directly related to improvement in patient symptoms and indeed in overall health.
In the case of Alzheimer’s, we recently found that drinking silicon-rich water over only 12 weeks produced significant improvements in cognitive function without any known or observed side effects.
This means that simply drinking silicon-rich water is a completely non-invasive way to remove aluminium from the body and something which can potentially benefit everyone including people with diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Now, I am keen to encourage everyone to drink more silicon-rich mineral water in their daily lives.
There are already two brands of silicon-rich mineral water available in the UK including Fiji water and Volvic.
There are several others across Europe and the rest of the world. What you need to look for is a minimum concentration of 30 mg/L or 30 ppm written as ‘silica’ on the label.
