Collagen is connective tissue that literally holds the body together. Though many nutrients through the years have been discussed as involved or helpful with regard to collagen health,

it is in fact the mineral silicon that is the key to collagen,

and subsequently both strength and elasticity of the tissues. Declining collagen health leads to degradation of skin, hair and nails externally, which is an indicator of internal status of bone, blood vessel, and nervous system health. All of this has been well established by multiple researchers all around the world for more than half a century though it is – sadly – very, very far from common knowledge.

Crusador: Arthritis, bone and joint problems are at epidemic levels and cause millions of Americans to suffer. Why does silica have such an impact on bone and joint health and what kind of results have you personally seen with people you’ve consulted?

Silicon is actually the most important nutrient in order for one to have healthy bones and joints. Throwing calcium at the problem in increasing amounts actually makes the problem worse and can’t work for some lengthy, complex reasons that I won’t take time away from silicon to get into.

Electrical stimulation is used to hasten bone healing especially with professional athletes and those who are well-to-do. Well, silicon is a semi-conductor, so it naturally increases the body’s own “electrical stimulation” by way of nervous system healing messages.

As far as the kind of results I have personally seen with people using silica, well Greg, that would fill more than a year’s worth of your newspapers.

The Alta Health Products company has always marketed the product with emphasis on it as “an internal beauty agent” for hair, skin and nails in order to not rile up authorities with health claims. Initially I would appeal to women’s vanity in order to get them to use the product although I was more interested in their long term bone and cardiovascular health. This worked very well as women would see the difference in a short time with their nails, and shortly thereafter they would see the difference in their skin and hair. I’ve had women who could never grow their hair much beyond their shoulders able to grow their hair down their back with regular silica supplementation.
