Would Silicon Be the Stem Cell of the Mineral Kingdom?

 

Silicon is a chemical element discovered by Berzelius in 1824. There’s little study about it due to its low proportions found in the composition of plants and animals, that’s why it is called “The Unknown Mineral”.

See below some of its properties:

Chemical symbol- Si

Atomic number - 14

Atomic mass - 28.0855

 

Silicon is usually seen under the form of silicon dioxide, known as silica.

In terms of weight it represents more than a quarter of the earth layer and is second in quantity right behind oxygen, however it is found in small amounts in the living species.

It is classified as a metalloid in the periodic table. Its properties are common both to metals and non-metals.

When we find out that there is a huge amount of silicon in nature, then comes the question: “Nature is so wise, there is so much silicon, so why just a little of it is used in the living species?

Read below an excerpt of the book by Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan called “Microcosmos - Four billion years of microbial evolution”

“ Despite the natural depreciation of the human beings when we look back to the Homo sapiens under a perspective of billions of years of cell evolution, we recognize our species as partners ready to co-operate, but not as an independent being: The partnership between us and the photosynthetic organisms which feed us and provide oxygen and also between us and bacteria and fungi that remove and transform our waste mater. No political move, no technology boom can rule out that partnership”.

So everything is useful in someway.

As a consequence of the first question, others will follow such as: Is science aware of the functions that silicon has? Isn’t it about time we understood that silicon is the mineral reserve that can substitute any other chemical element necessary to supply the demands and deficiencies of the humans? As a metalloid, it has properties of both metals and non-metals.

See below observations seen in plants, animals and also in men so that the readers can come to their conclusions.

1 - How can we explain the good results obtained from crops when we apply silicon-rich rock powder?

According to the usual NPK fertilization, (nitrogen, phosphate and potassium) are considered macro-elements, sometimes calcium and magnesium fall into that group but others like silicon are considered micro-elements. Only a short time ago silicon has been seen as such. How to explain good crops without the application of macro and micro-elements? Where have the necessary macro and micro-elements come from?

2- How to explain the use of silicon-rich rock powder in the production of algae for breeding fish and shrimp?

Algae get their food from carbon, nitrogen, potassium, phosphate found in sugar and in fertilizers, however the use of products rich in these elements put up production costs, besides harming the environment. It is necessary to find a way out. Silicon-rich rock powder boosted the algae production, so how can we account for that?

3- Geotherapy – How to explain several healings in animals and men, even diseases considered incurable by traditional medicine with a simple application of argil?

Geotherapy is the branch of alternative medicine that cures diseases by using argil, clay, ground rocks, etc…

It is the oldest type of therapy. According to the bible men was made of clay. This is symbolic but represents and simplifies the whole complexity of life.

REMEMBER THAT FOR DUST YOU ARE AND TO DUST YOU WILL RETURN.

BIBLICAL WORDS

When it’s said to us through baptism that we came from dust and to dust will return, we never give much importance to how deep and wise these words are. However, reading between the lines we can see that it sums up the mystery of life and death.

Life - When we remember that the minerals, which come from the soil reach our body through the food we eat.

Death - When we remember that the minerals, which kept our body up will go back to the soil.

 

The importance of geotherapy has been recognized since ancient times and the irrational animals have used it instinctively. Birds and poultry look for places where they can find thin sand in order to throw dust onto their own bodies and feathers; free-range pigs that rub their body on muddy places and dig the soil with their nose have a more delicious meat; horses lie and rub their body on the ground; cattle in general also use geotherapy; elephants use their trunks to throw mud onto their bodies which protects them from mosquitoes and it is also prophylactic.

Geotherapy also has healing properties over many diseases as follows: joint and bone diseases, nervous system diseases, circulatory and respiratory diseases, heart diseases, lung diseases, psychiatric diseases, etc.

Even trees brought down accidentally that touch argil-rich soils start to develop roots and get back up.

The majority of therapists who make use of geotherapy prefer silicon-rich argils.

After so much evidence and knowing the chemical properties of silicon such as that of being a metalloid with properties of both metals and non-metals, it’s very easy to say that silicon can fill up the space left by the absence or lack of other elements.

Nature is perfect, everything is useful, nothing is lost, and everything in it has a role to play, so how come so much of silicon available without being used to the full as it can substitute any chemical element on earth?

Would Silicon Be the Stem Cell of the Mineral Kingdom?

It’s of great importance to people’s health, because we know that all diseases are caused by mineral deficiency.

Such a wonderful mineral with similar properties to any other can be the answer to many people who still desperately hope the development of science to solve their problems.

By the way, why not take advantage of the examples given using silicon to try and recover from the scars left by a stroke, accident and many other diseases. Sometimes we do not fight a disease for not knowing which mineral deficiency led to it. Silicon could well be the solution. Medulla recovery, cell recovery, maybe caused by mineral deficiency could be cured with a supplement of silicon.
