In her respected book
from 2003, "Water & Salt",
Dr. Barbara Hendel makes it clear that:
"Silica it the
most important trace mineral for human health!"
SILICA plays an
important role in many bodily functions and has a direct relationship to mineral
absorption. The average human body wants around seven grams
of SILICA, an amount far exceeding the needs for other
important minerals like iron. We need more than we normally
get.
