Name

Silica

Action

An outstanding example of how a mineral can be therapeutically useless in it's natural form yet a powerful immune enhancer when it is a constituent of a plant. An element that not only imparts rigidity and skeleton stability to grasses, grains and bamboos of the plant world but to cellular tissue of the body too. Traces are found in the blood, skin and nails, all of which are supplemented when plants containing the element are consumed. Silicic acid increases production of white blood cells, silica-rich plants promote pus formation and assist the immune system to cleans the body of self-poisoning toxins of infection. All tissues depend on silica for elasticity.
