1_What inspired you to work on zeolites?

During my career as a doctor and scientist I have been inspired by some fundamental scientific findings and practical experiences:

•When I worked on research projects about the effects of psycho-pharmaceutical agents as a young doctor I realised that sooner or later I would come into conflict with the Hippocratic claim “Primum non nocere” (in English: do not harm as a doctor) by applying “chemicals” on sick people and accepting their side effects. This has motivated me to look for gentle natural remedies.

•Various research projects in the field of space medicine have made me aware of the significance of minerals for the fitness of human beings. I realised: minerals should be part of any therapy model. There is no life process without minerals. Minerals are the battery of human beings.

•Getting familiar with the outstanding research results of the American silicon expert Edith Muriel Carlisle and the Russian silicon expert H. G. Voronkov and his research team on the significance of silicon dioxide for the health of human beings.

•The successful application of zeolite and montmorillonite after the disastrous nuclear meltdown in Chernobyl (Ukraine). After the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl in 1986 500,000 tons of zeolite (which corresponds to a full freight train with a length of 124 km) were applied with the intention to decontaminate the released radionuclides. In addition, all people affected by the radiation disaster were also treated with zeolites, the sooner the treatment started, the better for the people. From that time on, I have been interested in zeolites and other aluminium silicates.
