Protecting the Brain from Aluminum

Q. I listened to your public radio program on the dangers of aluminum in common products. Something was said about a way to counteract aluminum in the body, but I missed what product is used.
A. Our guest, Chris Exley, PhD, professor of bio-inorganic chemistry at Keele University, pointed out that aluminum is a neurotoxin. His research suggests that mineral water high in silica may help protect the brain against aluminum damage in animals (Histology and Histopathology, Aug. 2012).
Dr. Exley suggested that mineral waters such as Fiji and Volvic are rich in silica and might be worth consideration. You can listen to the interview for free at PeoplesPharmacy.com.
