A homeopath I know told me about silica water, the following webiste sells it and give discouints to people with Parkinsons and alzheimers as it helps them by removing the toxins (heavy metals including aliminium which is in all vaccines) You have to drink 1 litre a day. My husband has some and he doesnt drink enough of it but I am trying to get him to. My mum also has some as she has alzheimers. Theres lots of research about toxins being one cause of Parkinsons and my husband used to spray pesticides on a farm years ago in the 70's before I knew him, I think he has a lot of toxins to remove as he said the wind used to blow it back over him! I also read that high doses of vitamin c 5000mg (work up gradually) helps get them out but you must drink plenty of water. silicawaters.com/

Silica, which is silicon dioxide, is an important mineral for bone strength and fracture resistance. See here:

Silica is available in herbal form, which can be purchased inexpensively from Swansons and other sources. At around 2 euros per liter the “silica water” at the above post is expensive - 1 L per day would be around 60 euros per month. [edited]
And they do not even tell you how much silica is in it!

I watched a lot of videos that say the water is the only way to eliminate the toxins, tablets don't do the same thing, they strengthen bones but the toxins need the water, yes it's expensive but they do give a discount to parkinsosn patients. Mu husband drinks it but not enough due to the price!
PB,
Are you taking the supplement?
Yes.
Does this matter? Silica Nanoparticles Promote α-Synuclein Aggregation and Parkinson’s Disease Pathology 2022 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...
"Silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) are increasingly investigated for their potential in drug delivery systems. However, the neurotoxicity of SiO2 NPs remains to be fully clarified. Previously SiO2 NPs have been reported to be detected in the central nervous system, especially in the dopaminergic neurons which are deeply involved in Parkinson’s disease (PD). In this article, we characterized the effects of SiO2 NPs on inducing PD-like pathology both in vitro and in vivo. Results showed that SiO2 NPs promote more severe hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of α-synuclein, mitochondria impairment, oxidative stress, autophagy dysfunction, and neuronal apoptosis in the α-Syn A53T transgenic mice intranasally administrated with SiO2 NPs compared with the control group. Our findings provide new evidence supporting that SiO2 NPs exposure might have a strong capability of promoting the initiation and development of PD."
But then there is this too: Neuroprotective and Antioxidant Enhancing Properties of Selective Equisetum Extracts 2022 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...
"The sterile stems belonging to the Equisetum species are often used in traditional medicine of various nations, including Romanians. They are highly efficient in treating urinary tract infections, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory tract infections, and medical skin conditions due to their content of polyphenolic derivatives that have been isolated. In this regard, this study aimed to provide the chemical composition of the extracts obtained from the Equisetum species (E. pratense, E. sylvaticum, E. telmateia) and to investigate the biological action in vitro and in vivo. For the chemical characterization of the analyzed Equisetum species extracts, studies were performed by using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC-DAD). In vitro evaluation of the antioxidant activity of the plant extracts obtained from these species of Equisetum genus was determined. The neuroprotective activity of these three ethanolic extracts from the Equisetum species using zebrafish tests was determined in vivo. All obtained results were statistically significant. The results indicate that E. sylvaticum extract has a significant antioxidant activity; whereas, E. pratense extract had anxiolytic and antidepressant effects significantly higher than the other two extracts used. All these determinations indicate promising results for the antioxidant in vitro tests and neuroprotective activity of in vivo tests, particularly mediated by their active principles."
Interesting finds. I would say the results from the actual herb prevail over results from nanoparticles created in the lab.
Low thiamine levels (thiamine deficiency): Taking horsetail might make thiamine deficiency worse.
Yes. See my reply to Gcf51 below.

Please share your experiences and dosing regime. Any noticeable benefit from taking Horsetail? Any interactions and precautions to consider before starting?
Silica supplementation is one part of my overall program to maintain bone strength, which I wrote about at the links below:

With horsetail being good for bone health would a person just take a little more thiamine to make sure there is not an issue?
Yes or use a different source of silica. See my comment below.
If on HDT which I recommend, Horsetail can lower B1 levels.
Taking horsetail by mouth may cause levels of vitamin B1 (thiamin) in the body to drop. mountsinai.org/health-libra...
My husband isn't on that, I'll check it out. Thanks
Check out HDT
As for me the biggest improvements have been from High Dose Thiamine (B1) and exercise. I recommend Dap1948 ’s book and her Facebook Group.
Thiamine is normally present in foods in sub milligram amounts, and in low single digit milligram amounts in the overall diet. Horsetail does contain a substance that inactivates thiamine. This is a problem for grazing animals that end up with horsetail in their feed. There are a couple of case reports of thiamine deficiency toxicity in humans. For those of us on high dose thiamine treatment, taking hundreds of milligrams, I do not believe a low dose of horsetail will cause a problem. With that said, anyone taking horsetail should supplement thiamine.
I was on 1100mg thiamine hcl, The horsetail was an extract. I was experiencing return of symptoms. The biggest problem with HDT is not enough B1 you have symptoms and too much B1 you have symptoms. Kind of like walking a tight rope, to either side you fail.... I first lower my dose and symptoms got worst. Then I started looking for what changed. I had only been taking horsetail a few weeks, I quit, symptoms got better and got even better when I went back up to 1100mg.
As someone stated about HDT: There's a little magic, voodoo or something about finding the right dose. I asked once: How critical is the sweet spot. Is it +/- 10%?
It's actually 20 euros for 6 1.5 litre bottles, so 20/9 euros a day. About 60 euros a month. I'm not saying it's not expensive. Just fact checking the maths
Yikes. You are correct. Will update my comment.
Any thoughts on the silica we ingest throughout the day in the form of capsules? Does it contribute in any way?
I cant find the video about why the water is the oly form of silica that eliminates aluminium so I don't think suppliments do the same thing, theres a Professer called Christopher Ealy who has studies it for years and found that to be the case. I know silica in pills or suppliments is good for bones and tendons but don't think it has the same effect as the water by what I heard, also my husband who has Parkinsons had an appointment with Trevor Gunn who is a homeopath and Naturapath and he recommended the silica water. He also recommended my husband give up dairy as he has TB in his family and if thats in your family you do better without dairy products and when he gave it up his coughing stopped. (The Parkinsons nurses said the cough was due to the Parkinsons but it's completely gone now!) You have to drink 1 litre a day of the water for it to work and my husband doesn't drink that much to save money! But I thought it may help someone if they can afford to buy enough of it & Parkinsosn patients always get a discount.
So good to know: ‘Parkinson patients always get a discount’ 🌹
Yes , so do alzheimers patients as it's helpful for them too.
Just Google Dr. Christopher Exley. Tons of info (and books) about using silica-rich waters to detox aluminum. You don't have to buy expensive brands.
Yes, good idea

Where to buy ingredients
Best I can tell there's something else in horsetail that causes the B1 problem. Horsetail is the only silica supplement, I can find with that warning.
OK you have persuaded me to look elsewhere for silica supplementation. This was informative: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...
However, choline stabilized orthosilicic acid is problematic. See my writing here for the downside of choline supplementation: tinyurl.com/2p8jjuf8
So the simplest solution is just to opt for a cleaner silica supplement like this: amazon.com/Swanson-Suppleme...
Or this: amazon.com/Solgar-Oceanic-S...
Golly shucks, what a deal! I feel cured already.
Do they accept cyber coins, I have a whole bunch of them at this nice place in the Bahamas and their bank in Farmington, WA.
