“It is surely harmful to souls to make it heresy to believe what is proved.”
~ Galileo
By Jennifer Walters, BSN-RN, PHN, MFA
I first came to know of Dr. Chris Exley in 2015 while researching various toxins that might have harmed my son as part of his vaccine injury. Exley wasn’t an “autism researcher” and definitely not an ex-vaxxer like the majority of the vaccine-injured community. He is the world’s top expert in the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust: aluminum.
In his 2020 book, Imagine You Are an Aluminum Atom: Discussions with Mr. Aluminum, written during the pandemic lockdowns, Dr. Exley suggests we all need to know more about aluminum. Not a typical metal in the same way as mercury or lead, aluminum is particularly dangerous to all life because it is “superabundant” and “super-reactive,” both chemically and biologically, and our bodies have no idea how to handle any encounter with this metal.
In addition to talking about his book, we discuss some of the groundbreaking research findings of Exley and his research team, including the discovery of aluminum as “a” cause (not “the” cause) of familial Alzheimer’s, the dangers of aluminum-rich infant formula to our babies, and how aluminum gathers into lymphocytes in the brain tissue of people with autism. Exley’s open-access 2018 study on “aluminium in brain tissue in autism” has been downloaded a million times—more than any other study in history.
In a sane world, Exley should have received a Nobel Prize for his work. Instead, however, he has been a victim of cancel culture and scientific censorship, losing his university position and funding.
Our discussion wraps up with actions we can take to live safely in what Exley calls the Aluminum Age. “Finding Health in the Aluminum Age” can be like unlocking the fountain of youth for all of us. Simple measures include drinking one liter of silicon-rich water per day—clinically shown to remove aluminum from the body via the urine—as well as choosing safer cosmetics (many deodorants and sunscreens contain aluminum), using aluminum-free cookware, and avoiding foods that contain aluminum.
In Money & Markets this week, John Titus and Catherine will cover the latest events and continue to discuss the financial and geopolitical trends we are tracking in 2022. Post your questions for Ask Catherine or post at the Money & Markets commentary here.
Join me as I chat with Dr. Christopher Exley, PhD, FRSB, about his life’s work studying aluminum. And please explore the links to his book, website, medical blog, and Substack—his science needs to be supported.
Talk to you Thursday!

Great interview! Thank you! Does structured water help remove aluminum or has it been studied? Water testing positive for arsenic and then structured, no longer tested positive for arsenic. I don’t understand the chemistry of why but thought there might be an overlapping mechanism here.
Also, where can we buy his book that will give him the most income? Obviously not Amazon.
Krista, We drink a similar structured water but I also order Fiji water and have 1L per day for everyone in my house. I still don’t entirely understand the water, but Dr Cowan is on my list of dream interviews, I am sure he can explain it! Fingers crossed. Dr Exley’s link to the book lists many places for purchase, I am sure he gets paid where ever you buy it. But I bought mine when it was first released from the publisher. Hope that helps.

This was an answer to prayer, asking for detox methods we can integrate into our daily lives. My “better living through chemistry” husband is struggling with Parkinson’s after 40 years on insulin injections (and the recently promoted ones). How do we find Silicon-rich mineral water in the US?
Lisa, I am so sorry about your husband’s Parkinson’s. Ugh. Dr Exley says it’s not so much a ‘detox’ but a removal of the aluminum from the blood via the kidney’s through urine. His book explains it better than I ever could.
Below is a link to the Fact Sheet and some places to purchase the silicon rich mineral water.
We use Fiji because they deliver and a subscription makes it cheaper. Be sure to get his book, go to his website and read up on the studies. I have found drinking this water has helped my son in a few ways, mostly his language becomes easier, he isn’t struggling for works or ‘restarting’ sentences all the time and he is not as clumsy. It didn’t change his diagnosis or make him ‘all better’ but I can see the difference after a week or so drinking the water. It can’t hurt to try. Plus hydration is always helpful.
Another thing that integrative medicine docs I work with use with their Parkinson’s patients is magnesium. Look into Morley Robbins newest book on Cure: Your Fatigue. It has some interesting stuff on minerals that always help muscles, brain and overall health.
Praying for you.

I was pretty excited you were able to get Dr. Exley for your first interview. I read his book as soon as it came out…and then, bought three more copies. One for each of my sons. I don’t know if they read it but I do know one of the mother-in-laws might have because she is now drinking figi water and providing it to the grandkids.
Not only did you succeed in obtaining a serious, ethical researcher for your first interview, you did a very nice interview.
Thank you Donna! Yes, it is an important book. I have been following his research for sometime and have done the “aluminum removal” of any products in my house that we eat or apply and I STILL run into some that I missed. That is why I make it a priority to keep a silicon rich mineral water in my diet to help remove what I missed. Have a great weekend! Jennifer
Just in case some are not able to get silicon water in the future. Equisetum arvense grows nearly everywhere in the US, even in the Rocky Mtns.
Horsetail is an ancient plant that has been utilized for millennia for its nourishing properties. Also known as bottle brush, shavegrass, and scouring rush, horsetail is often incorporated into shampoo and skin care products. Our horsetail powder is ground from organic Equisetum arvense and can be tinctured, encapsulated, and infused into herbal body care recipes.
Horsetail has a recorded history going back to the Devonian period. The plant at that time was as tall as a modern palm tree. Horsetail, not to be confused with cat-tail, is possibly the most abundant source of silica in the plant kingdom, so much in fact that the herb can be used for polishing metal. It got the name “scouring rush” from this very application. It has had other uses during the ages including as an ingredient in shampoos, skincare products, and in dietary supplements. Horsetail belongs to the Equisetaceae plant family.

Sandra,
Thank you for the links and information.
I like horsetail for many health benefits, but I do not rely on it for removal of aluminum. I do believe it is an anti-inflammatory, helps with water retention, creates healthy nails and hair and it has helped heal urinary tract infections along with D. Mannose. It is a wonderful addition for overall health for sure.
According to Dr Exley, he did not find horsetail and similar supplements were able to clinically remove aluminum from the blood and tissues. He states, “We have investigated and tested every so-called silicon/silica supplement which is available to buy and not one of them can provide a high and immediate level of silicic acid for absorption across the gut and into the blood”.
A Fact Sheet from his group states: “A high level of silicic acid in the blood is essential to ensure that the product it makes with aluminum remains stable for long enough for it to be filtered by the kidney. This is why only silicon-rich mineral waters, where the silicon content is above 30mg/L or ppm when stated as ‘silica’ or 14mg/L or ppm when stated as ‘silicon’ or ‘silicic acid’ (sometimes written as OSA orthosilicic acid), will help to remove aluminum from the body.” end of quotes.
In his book, Chapter 9, goes into greater detail on how the silicon rich mineral water “keeps aluminum at bay”.
There are so many things that can help us stay healthy that are God made. : )
Thank you for the comment!

I have weak fingernails and have asked MD doctors about it and they say it’s just aging. I doubt that, but the only advice is to ingest gelatin. I don’t like Jello (too sweet) and putting gelatin in things can make them mucky (although I suppose it my be OK in smoothies). You mention above that horsetail may improve nails. How would I get it and use it for this purpose?
Carolyn,
Sandra’s comment above had a wonderful link to horsetail drops. You can read about them here: https://mountainroseherbs.com/horsetail-extract I would add them to coconut oil and massage into my scalp and/or nails, I have also added similar drops to a tea. There are other brands out there, just find what you like. As for gelatin, you don’t have to use Jello-yuck. lol I use a scoop of powder made of collagen/gelatin in a cold or hot beverage, it’s tasteless and easy to do. I have noticed my squeaky knees aren’t as noisy when I added this into my diet. I also use a bone broth mix and add it to my rice cooker, box soups and noodles for extra nutrition. Here is the company I use but there are a ton out there (this is not an affiliate link-just a company I have used). Watch for clean brands that test for the dreaded glyphosate & other chemicals.

I also use Biotin capsules, it helps with hair and nails but also boosts the immune health. Follow the instructions on the bottle. I like Pure Encapsulations Biotin capsules.

In what form did Dr. Exley use the horsetail? Can it not be used as a tisane?
Sandra, I love using horsetail as a tisane, usually in a tea form for water retention and UTI issues as needed. I know that Dr Exley has studied the horsestail plant, he has written a few papers on it’s properties. I have heard him state in many interviews that if any silica rich supplement in any form did what silicon-rich mineral water did, he would be thrilled. But, for now the water is what gets results in his research. Read his book, it really goes into detail about what he found. Remember, you can ask him questions about horsetail and aluminum removal through his Substack or write him at his research group’s website as well. I would love to hear what you find out from him. Horsetail has many benefits, thank you for the links about it. -Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for this info. I knew of Dr X but hadn’t looked into him. I’ll try the Fiji water and see if I can tell the difference. I got rid of aluminium pots and pans years ago and I use coconut oil as the first layer then on top milk of magnesia as the second layer for deodorant. It works well for light to medium activity. Do you have any plans to address excess omega 6? Dr Chris Knobbe has a good video on YouTube about it. Dr Mercola talks about it a lot and has a book coming out. Dr Paul Saladino, the Carnivore MD, talks about it on his podcast a lot including with Tucker Goodrich.
Darren, I think of Fiji water in terms of prevention more than correction but for my son there was definitely a positive change to his life. Thank you for the suggestion on omega 6. Yes, it is on my list, I ran into a lot of information about it when doing research on glyphosate. Ugh. What a nightmare. Stay tuned… -Jennifer
Fantastic topic and fantastic guest. This is one of the best, most useful pieces I’ve seen on Solari. I’ll be ordering the book and adding the mineral water to our regimine. Great job!!!
Susan, Thank you! Dr Exley is marvelous, intelligent and kind. His book and research are important. Enjoy the water! Jennifer
Yes, this was great. My mother died of early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease at the age of 70, having had it for ten or more years. I’m now 68 and would like to get rid of any aluminum in my brain but also am aware of other contaminants that I would like to filter our of my drinking water. Let’s assume I could stop aluminum contamination today (perhaps unrealistic), do you know how long I would need to drink the Fiji water to clear out the aluminum that is in my body now? Or do I need to drink this for the rest of my life? Keep up the good work — there is an endless list of good topics for you to cover!
Carolyn,
I am so sorry you lost her so young to such a horrific disease. There are so many with Alzheimers now, it is why I chose Aluminum education for my first interview, because there is something we can do about aluminum body burden.
Dr Exley’s groundbreaking study about Alzheimers and Aluminum in the brain was using persons who passed with familial Alzheimers. His conclusions were: No Aluminum, No Alzheimers.
I try to focus my aluminum removal and prevention on a few things. As you know, a huge contributor to aluminum body burden is the adjuvants in the shots, so never take another shot again. Then I try to do the best I can to keep aluminum out of my food, cookware and topical products. Because I don’t think we ever stop being bombarded with aluminum in the things we can’t control, I see silicon-rich mineral water as a part of my life forever. I have a water filter for toxins for our entire house, and I try to drink a 1L of Fiji water per day.
Thank you for the comment and all your hard work for us subscribers! Have a wonderful week!
Jennifer
