Hv, what are your views on the colloidal silica supplement as a short term boost for the body. This is the product I used, the liquid gel I found to be more effective than the capsules.
From what I can see it is orthosilicic acid, which is good. This is what is formed by the adding of the DE to water. Sounds like they are grinding up silica very fine though increasing the surface area. Although the solution still will only saturate. So the only difference I see between this and DE in water is it sounds like they are using pure silica and DE contains metal oxides that will also enter in to the water so there will be slightly less silica than in their product.
I now no longer need the quantity of silica I was taking back then, and find that DE water is enough. At the time I was remineralising the bone, I did feel I needed the extra silica, and when I began taking the colloidal silica the difference was marked. Bone growth was a lot faster, and the reduction in pain was huge. These benefits have not decreased to this day.
Yes, silica is really great stuff. I am doing some write ups on silica that I will post links to once done.
