PRO: This is a wide-ranging book about an important health risk that most people are completely unaware of. Read this book to learn about the cause of the Alzheimer's and Autism epidemics.
CON: The book is dense and technical at times, so it demands careful reading.
Exley is a British biologist who's researched the health effects of Aluminum (Al) for almost 40 years and is known as "Mr. Aluminum" to his peers. His main points are as follows:
1) Al is biochemically reactive and toxic to human health because we've only been exposed to it since the late 19th century (and especially after WWII) so we haven't had time to evolve protective mechanisms.
2) We're increasingly exposed to Al via food, water, cookware, cosmetics, medicine and vaccines. Most of the Al we ingest is filtered out by our kidney but Al can still slowly accumulate in our bodies (including our brains). Al exposure via the skin, nose and injections is much more worrisome since these paths bypass the liver+kidney. Al is excreted from our bodies via urine, feces and sweat. Drinking silica water (e.g. Fiji water) can greatly increase the amount of Al we urinate (and possibly even remove Aluminum from the brain). Al in deodorants is absorbed through the skin and can also go directly to the brain through the nose. By preventing sweat, deodorants also block one of our main routes of excreting aluminum. There's also evidence Al deodorants cause breast cancer. (Exley wonders if the Al in tobacco is what makes smoking carcinogenic.)
3) Al is the "dirty little secret" of some vaccines (e.g. Hepatitis B + DTAP+ HPV). There's strong evidence that Al from vaccines can sharply accumulate in the brains of vulnerable infants, causing Autism*. Exley found record high levels of Al in the brains of 5 deceased individuals with autism. This study was published in late 2017 and the paper was downloaded 1 million times but attracted no media attention. This is because the mainstream media is dependent on Big Pharma advertising revenue and now censors “anti-vaccine” science.
4) There's strong evidence Al is a major causal factor in Alzheimer's. (He's examined over 200 brains and those from cases of Alzheimer's and Autism had the highest amounts of Al albeit in different brain regions.) Exley blames the Aluminum industry for suppressing the Al-Alzheimer's link.
IMO, Big Pharma is also at fault: if you accept that Al is the primary cause of Alzheimer's, then why would it be ok for infant vaccines to contain Al? The scientific community also deserves blame: Alzheimer's and Autism are heavily funded areas of research. If both can be prevented by reducing Al exposure, then thousands of researchers would lose their jobs. (As Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for inventing PCR, pointed out: this is why the HIV=AIDS dogma has persisted for the past 35 years despite only flimsy evidence that AIDS is caused by an infectious virus.)
5) Exley believes Alzheimer's can be prevented by reducing Aluminum exposure and drinking 1 liter (4 cups) of silica water per day**. He hopes that someday, the funding will be available to prove this by running a large clinical trial. He also decries the current political climate, which censors the dangers of Aluminum exposure and makes it extremely difficult to obtain funding for his research.

*There are at least 3 different types of "autism" and we're stupidly lumping them together as a "spectrum" of one condition due to superficial similarities: Some cases of "autism" truly are genetic defects (e.g. Fragile-X). Some cases of "autism" reflect neuro diversity/epigenetics- esp. cases w/o intellectual disability. And some- perhaps most- cases are due to vaccine injury.
**Exley has received numerous emails from parents who say their child's health improved greatly after 6 months or a year of regularly drinking silica water.

Aluminium is in every cell of our bodies - Wake up call to ALL governments
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2021
“If one aspect … is abundantly clear, it is that aluminium writ large in the etiology of human disease is already a burgeoning pandemic.”Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 24, 2021
Christopher Exley, P.91
If you were not aware of this pandemic before reading this statement, you will understand how the author can confidently say this by the time you finish reading this excellently written book. To cherry pick just 4 diseases out of the 38 listed in Chapter 12 – together with their rankings from low [1] to [10] high - in which the involvement of aluminium has been observed or implicated it is easy to identify the overwhelming – and very costly - areas already facing governments of the world in which they themselves would agree that we face an unarguable epidemic.
These four are Alzheimer's Disease, [10] Autism, [7-9] Multiple Sclerosis [8-10] and Parkinson's Disease [7-9]; hot on their heels are Asthma [7-9], Crohn's Disease/IBD/UC, [7-9] Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, [7-9] Breast Cancer, [8-10] Autoimmune Conditions, [7-9] Immunosuppression[7-10] … and the list goes on.
Why is Exley so worried about aluminium? Firstly, not only is it abundant in nature but as you will learn – secondly - it is super-reactive. Aluminium has no useful biological function - and therefore no place - in living bodies. It's super-reactivity results in it being bioavailable and easily absorbed. We find ourselves living in what Exley calls “The Age of Aluminium”.
“This means in practical terms that when we encounter aluminium in our everyday lives, our bodies only see aluminium as an impostor, something foreign, and something for which we have not been prepared through biochemical evolution. This in turn means that all of our encounters with aluminium are adventitious random and chaotic. There is no aluminium homeostasis, no protection against it, no controlled elimination.”
He intelligibly explains simple aluminium biochemistry, where aluminium is found in the body, the body burden of aluminium; outlining the many different ways that we are exposed to aluminium and the difficulty in not only measuring it but, as consumers, avoiding exposure where possible. Based on his original PhD research he discovered that silicon protected against the toxicity of aluminium in salmon; his solution to keeping ahead of the build-up of aluminium, he himself drinks silicon-rich mineral water.
“What we have proven, in what already feels like a lifetime of science, is that when silicic acid is bound by aluminium hydroxide it forms what we have called hydroxyl-alumino-silicates … these small amorphous solids … should remain small enough for long enough to be filtered from the blood by the kidney.”
While he is convinced that his hypothesis is correct, he points out that it is only a hypothesis and remains to be proven. Studies in relation to Alzheimer's disease and Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) unequivocally demonstrated the effectiveness of silicon rich water in lowering the body burden of aluminium.
Unsurprisingly, it transpires that commercial interests actively work to prevent any ‘inconvenient truths’ emerging that dare to question the safety and advisability of using aluminium in foods, medicines, body care, our tap water and the ultimate controversy regarding vaccines.
Aluminium research is actively suppressed, and all but impossible to fund. In Chapter 18: “Camelford-Anatomy of a Government Cover-up” Exley explains his team’s invaluable role analysing post-mortem brain samples, and the determination of the UK government, the aluminium industry and others to suppress the emergence of the truth.
Rumours that rigorous, honest and ethical scientific research is dead have thankfully been proved to be premature. Where determined scientists such as Exley and similar brave colleagues from around the world continue – inconveniently - to say; “The Emperor has no clothes!” … there remains hope for humanity’s survival.
If, however, corporatism and fundamentalist political and scientific short-sightedness is allowed to rule the day, the burgeoning pandemic will continue apace, where The Aluminium Elephant In The Room (Chapter 14) will finally be clearly revealed for all to see.
