Join "Mr. Aluminum," a scientist who has made the study of aluminum his life's work, on a journey of discovery, reflection, and the science of aluminum.

Professor Christopher Exley is a firm believer that science is only useful when it is properly communicated. Scientific papers are difficult vehicles for the wider communication of science and thus he has always endeavored to tell the story of his scientific research as widely as possible through myriad blogs, presentations, and interviews. Through a series of easy-reading entries written for non-scientists, Exley will educate readers about his lifelong scientific passion: aluminum. In scientific circles, aluminum—in relation to human health specifically—has gone the way of the dinosaurs (though, unlike dinosaurs, there has not yet been a popular revival!). Yet aluminum is also the greatest untold story of science.

But why do we all need to know a little bit more about aluminum? Do we need a self-help guide for living in what Exley has coined "The Aluminum Age"? What is it about aluminum that makes it different? What about iron, copper, or any of the so-called "heavy metals," like mercury, cadmium, or lead? Why must we pay particular attention to aluminum? Because its bio-geochemistry, its natural history, raises two red flags immediately and simultaneously.

These two danger signals are easily missed by all of us and easily dismissed by those whose interests are conflicted by aluminum’s omnipresence in human life and consequently, are purposely blind to its danger signals. First, aluminum, in all of its myriad forms, is super abundant; it is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon) of the Earth’s crust. Second, aluminum is super reactive; it is both chemically and biologically reactive. However, these two red flags identify a paradox, as the abundant and biologically reactive aluminum has no biological function either in any organism today nor in any extinct biota from the evolutionary past. This means in practical terms that when we encounter aluminum in our everyday lives, our bodies only see aluminum 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. And potentially dangerous. 

Imagine You Are An Aluminum Atom: Discussions With "Mr. Aluminum" examines the science of aluminum and human health and makes them understandable to all. Within the science you will find personal recollections of events, as well as opinions and reflections upon how the politics of aluminum have influenced and interfered with doing and reporting the science. It is at once both a personal recollection of Exley's life in aluminum research and a guide on the dangers of the constant exposure to aluminum we as humans face during this "Aluminum Age." It will inform, it will provide the means to question the science, and it will, if the reader is prepared to participate, answer those frequently asked questions on aluminum and human health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch writing and information from the wizard of aluminum himself
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2024

This is an extraordinary book. It's a very important exposition on the most important metal in our daily lives, aluminum, according to the author, the accomplished scientist Chris Exley.

Dr. Exley's vast knowledge of this metal and how it interacts with living things is presented in a very readable, elegant fashion. Only a scientist that deeply knows the subject can write so clearly about what are often very technical matters. This book has an objective, matter-of-fact feel to it. For some reason, the toxicity of aluminum is one of the most controversial issues of our time. After reading the book, I warn anyone that discounts the danger of aluminum ingestion that they might want to double check the science, perhaps starting right here.

This is an important book that I recommend to anyone interested in brain health, chemistry, or just general environmental science.

5.0 out of 5 stars Primer on aluminum biology and toxicity from "Mr. Aluminum"
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2022
Verified Purchase
Chris Exley, PhD. has devoted his life to the study of aluminum. In this book he gives us a basic primer on the biological aspects of aluminum: How it is absorbed (particularly in the brain), and eliminated from the body, and most importantly his concerns about toxicity.

Aluminum is abundant in the earth's crust, but has no role in human nutrition or functioning. Our modern exposure to aluminum started at the end of the 1800's and we are now exposed to aluminum from numerous sources, many of which we may not suspect.

Chapter 8 stands out as the most eye-opening in describing the various ways we can be exposed - not only anti-perspirants (through the skin or the air), antacids, and aluminum cookware, but also cosmetics, medications, pesticides, intravenous fluids in hospitals - even cigarette smoke. Other sources include processed foods, infant formula, food packaging, aluminum cans, particulate matter in the air we breath, and e-cigarettes (from the heating element not the e-fluid).

Dr. Exley speculates that fluoroquinolone antibiotics (eg. Cipro, Levaquin) may bind with aluminum and facilitate it's entry into the blood.

Possible illnesses caused by aluminum include Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, breast cancer, immune suppression, and lowered sperm counts. (And possibly autism and Parkinson's disease).

After years of research on aluminum, Dr. Exley turned his attention to the issue of aluminum in childhood vaccines and a possible connection to autism. He explains his research on how immune cells may carry aluminum adjuvant from the injection site into the brain, creating damage. (The book has amazing images showing aluminum inside immune, sperm, and brain cells using a fluorescent chemical.)

Dr. Exley describes his 2018 study on the brain tissue of ten deceased people who had had a diagnosis of autism and found the levels of aluminum were "shockingly high". He is working on further research in this area but funding has been difficult on this controversial subject.

Is the ubiquity of aluminum exposure in modern life really as harmful to our health as Dr. Exley's book indicates? If so, people should know about it.

Certainly this book is a great read and food for thought. Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2022

This book explains the mechanisms by which aluminum is toxic to people and in at least some of the conditions involved. These include Alzheimer’s, autism, and breast cancer among others. Exley has done much of the research on aluminum since 1984 and has over 200 published research articles. This book puts a summary of his research in terms that are accessible to the layperson. He also gives excellent advice as to how to reduce our aluminum intake and how to help detoxify. This book also discusses how his research and publicity about aluminum toxicity has been suppressed.
If you are interested in improving your health and that of your family, I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awkward Title- but an Important book about Alzheimer's + Vaccine Safety
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important book - the implications are shocking
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 16, 2021
Verified Purchase
The scary nature of aluminium contamination of our bodies and brains is laid out by the author, based on his own robust scientific work at Keele University. The basic fact that bio-active aluminium was only released into the world by man about 130 yrs ago was new to me. No life form on earth had ever 'seen' it before that during the whole course of evolution and the human body doesn't recognise what it is or have any process to deal with. This profound observation is the starting point for a great, accessible and scary book covering Dr Exley''s work and findings. It lays bare the difficulties faced by an honourable scientist when their work is inconvenient or unfashionable (cowardly Keele University should be ashamed for its lack of support). It also provides lots of practical guidance to the reader on what to do to minimise personal risk from aluminium and the simple steps that can be taken to get it out of the body. Great work Professor Exley! I am drinking the waters!
