Silicic acid its gastrointestinal uptake and urinary excretion in man and effects on aluminium excretion
Silicon (Si), as silicic acid, is suggested to be the natural antidote to aluminium (Al) toxicity, and was recently shown to promote the urinary excretion of Al from body stores…. These results suggest that orthosilicic acid is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of man and then readily excreted in urine. There was no significant…
Read MoreSilica therapy to reduce the body burden of aluminium
There are unexplained links between human exposure to aluminium and the incidence, progression and aetiology of Alzheimer’s disease…. The reduction in urinary aluminium supported the future longer-term use of silicic acid as non-invasive therapy for reducing the body burden of aluminium in Alzheimer’s disease. Abstract. Journal of Alzheimer’s disease : JAD 2006; 10(1):17-24; discussion 29-31

In this study, we investigated the protective effect of chronic quercetin (a natural flavanoid) administration against Al-induced cognitive impairments, oxidative damage, and cholinergic dysfunction in male Wistar rats…. Taken together the results of this study show that quercetin offers neuroprotection against Al-induced cognitive impairments, cholinergic dysfunction, and associated oxidative damage in rats. Abstract. Neurotoxicity research…
Read MoreQuercetin and omega 3 ameliorate oxidative stress induced by aluminium chloride in the brain
Exposure to high levels of aluminum (Al) leads to neurodegeneration, which may be mediated through over-generation of free radicals…. Both quercetin (QE) and omega 3 have the ability to overcome Al-induced oxidative stress, manifested by the significant reduction in free radical concentration and induction of the activity and gene expression of the brain antioxidant enzymes.…
