Without silicon, no life | QS24

Chronic silicon deficiencies lead to serious diseases.

The acid-base balance gets out of kilter. Electron deficiency/energy deficiency is the consequence – and from this also oxygen deficiency with reduced ATP production. This biological and medical significance of silicon has long been researched, and yet nothing is done to compensate for this age-related and also nutrition-related deficit.

The key in the fight against the loss of essential silicon in the body lies in uninterrupted support, which should begin as early as possible. Silicon supplementation should be regarded like planning ahead for retirement income: there, too, we start saving at the age of 20 so that we have accumulated enough savings by the time we reach 65. Continuous supplementation promises the best prevention of deficiency symptoms. Even without noticeable signs of silicon deficiency, such as dry, wrinkled skin, dull, lifeless hair and brittle nails, preventive health care should be practised.

The strengthening of the immune system by silicon has been scientifically confirmed. So even if we needed silicon for no other reason, we would still need it to activate the body’s defences, to invite silicon as the conductor of mineral metabolism, to transport oxygen to the cell, to buffer over-acidification and to make up electron deficits.

While silicon predominates in a very finely distributed colloidal form in the bodies of young people and contributes greatly to their greater firmness and flexibility, in the organisms of older people the inactive form is mainly deposited in the hair and nails. From this it can be concluded that there is a constant silicon metabolism in the body which, especially in older people, needs support. The important tissue functions of silicon can be helped as soon as the increasing loss of silicon in the body becomes apparent.
