2_What are silicates?

First of all, silicates are very stable silicon-oxygen compounds that contain other very stable elements such as aluminium (which is the third most frequent element on our planet), magnesium, iron, sodium etc. The simplest silicate is silicon dioxide (SiO2). SiO2, which is also called silicic acid, has already been used very effectively in the human body. Other silicates that are important for human beings are natural zeolite and montmorillonite, also known under the terms bentonite and smectite. Owing to my experiences with their application as a preventive and therapeutic remedy I would like to compare their interaction to that of fraternal twins. When combined, they have a wide range of effects in the human body, whereas each twin contributes to the overall effect with a shared and individual characteristic.

However, there are more silicates than those that have been mentioned so far. More than 40 aluminium silicates are part of the very fertile soil of the earth’s crust: clays, loam and loess.
