Description
A colloidal preparation of silica in an active highly dispersed form.
Silica Gel (Silicon) is a trace element that plays an essential role in human beings, animals and plants. In humans, it is especially needed in the lungs, spleen and lymph nodes, but also in the blood. The connective tissue in general needs ample silica and can fulfill its functions only when daily doses are constantly consumed. Important for nails and hair; regular intake can stop unnecessary hair loss and strengthen hair growth as well as improve the look of nails.
Care for the skin by increasing the strength and elasticity against negative influences of all kinds
Inhibits the aging process in tissues. Younger person's tissues show a higher silica content which eventually decreases as they age
Stimulates the immune system
Anti-inflammatory, disinfecting, absorbing odor and binding effects

is this good to take against cancer or does it feed the cancer cells?

Colloidal Silica Gel will not feed cancer cells.
Silica Gel on its own is non-toxic. However, there is some confusion over the safety of silica gel, and this is usually related to observations of silica gel packets found in packaged goods, which are labelled dangerous and poisonous. Silica Gel is often used as a desiccant to absorb moisture in packaged goods to increase shelf life. These silica gel packets are often labelled as dangerous, or poisonous when eaten, because the silica gel in these packets is sometimes coated with a moisture indicator, such as cobalt (II) chloride, which IS toxic and may be carcinogenic (any substance or agent that promotes cancer).

My husband has been on asthma medication for over 20 years and was having a difficult time with his hair falling out along with his fingers splitting and bleeding.
We had gone to many doctors trying to find some time of medication what would help these sympthoms.
I read the information about silica and realized that my husband's asthma medication had depleted the silica in his lungs. We tried this product, and we have been happy with the results.
My husband has been taking this for over 4 years now and is no longer losing large amounts of hair nor having problems with his fingers splitting.

I don't usually do this sort of thing (reviews),
but this product really works for me. I have esophogeal reflux disorder, caused by a hiatal hernia . Before I started using silica gel (about a year ago?) ,I never went anywhere without a packet of those heavy-duty famitodine or ranitidine antacids . Now I don't buy antacids anymore . Once I ran out of the silica for a while , and the attack of acid indigestion (pain, nausea ) I had came as a surprise to me because I had forgotten what they could be like .
