The publication of the books Naturmineralien Regulation und Gesundheit and
Klinoptilolith-Zeolith - Siliziummineralien und Gesundheit has led to a growing interest in the
silicates natural zeolite bentonite montmorillonite and silicon dioxide (synonym: silicic
acid) on the part of therapists and especially on the part of the consumers owing to the
healthy and quality-of-life improving effect of the silicates. According to various studies
the trend to orientate towards natural remedies leads to a growing demand of more and more
people. However the reorientation towards other remedies involves several questions. This also
applies to natural zeolite bentonite montmorillonite and silicon dioxide (silicic acid)
partly because of wrong ideas about the silicates that are often spread without any criticism
and that cause insecurity among the people. Silicates belong to the oldest remedies of mankind
e.g. in form of clay and medical clay. In fact 2 400 years of experience have been gained
already.As the mechanisms of action and effects of such natural remedies are fundamentally
different from those of traditional medical drugs which are usually applied by conventional
medicine the need for knowledge is exceptionally great here. The number of requests that we
have received almost daily over ten years proves that. This enormous interest has inspired us
to answer the questions in written form and publish them as a book in order to satisfy the
thirst for knowledge with regard to natural zeolite bentonite montmorillonite and silicon
dioxide (silicic acid).All the answers to questions from everyday life are for the most part
put in easy terms for reasons of a better understanding. At the same time however they
reflect the current scientific state of knowledge.
