So...everybody acts like you take CellFood Silica IN ADDITION TO regular Cell Food. Is that the case? or is this in LIEU OF regular Cell Food?

As a beginner to the product I'm taking essential silica only...just began to read up on the other available products..the essential silica is working wonders...I am ready to order another bottle as we speak.

Hello, sadiegirl. I am assuming you wish to use this product as a fiber supplement, prebiotic or otherwise. Is this correct, by directly ingesting it? If so, you would certainly get "fiber" but any other benefit is highly speculative, unless you know something about chicory itselfs possible health benefits. If so, could you elaborate a bit? i.e., aphrodisiac or anti inflammatory or metabolic booster? Inquiring minds might like to know! I used it as a coffee/chicory blend for my coffee (common GI chow hall blend at the time) and it endeared me to its unique taste while I was in the USAF stationed in cold, clammy England. Perhaps it boosted my Chicago bred tolerance to cold, wet, miserable weather on the wind swept flight line by boosting my metabolism! More info, please! EDIT: I looked around and chicory root is listed as a probiotic at this site (http://gicare.com/for-physicians/on-good-health/prebiotics/) so maybe it would do for you. Since this is in a coffee ground granulated form, you might want to run it through an electric "spice grinder" of the fast spinning blade type. Then you might add it to food or drink. Info seems to say it passes right through the small intestine untouched like a prebiotic should, then the bacteria in the colon goes to work on it and "does the magic." Now, I've learned something too. On the down side, this is a roasted product rather than just dried or freeze dried and ground up, so any living organisms would then be dead, of course. Perhaps the colon bugs just need the organic matter as food. Bottoms up!

Why is it in a place where your kids think it's candy and want to eat it? Are your Meds in a place where your kids will try to eat them? The same holds true for Tide. Mine is on top shelf, in my Laundry Room, behind a door, and my grandkids could never find it to eat. They would much rather eat my Noodle Pudding!! Claire Siegel

This is completely safe and food grade, the only thing you have to worry about is inhaling it. If you inhale too much of the silica you will get silicosis of the lungs which can be fatal.

Add water. Of course, if you use tap water it is no longer organic. Once, when I was thirsty I just ate some of the crystals. Unfortunately I soon discovered some water, drank some and damn near exploded. So I would urge caution.

I was under the impression they did not use a Sugar sub like Splenda. Splenda is so very bad for us humans ! One more thing I was thinking. It is poor practice to not include all the calories in each bar. Regardless of recipe, amounts vary depending on which flavor you are enjoying. Some folks need and or have to include every calorie they consume, document and be held accountable. Thanks

gosh, which product has arsenic listed? this trace minerals product contains a propriety blend, so the individual elements are not listed in the essential silica formula. why don't you contact the company directly? I've had great results with the cellfood products! i'm interested to hear from you about which product has arsenic listed.

I'm waiting for this answer too.. and it look like it will never come, their product it's probably not 100% silica free but then not much scientific research to human that as been made regarding this product type:in this link http://www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/Default.aspx?DN=b3b1fd99-df9c-4da2-bd0e-6342bdef9e69under Varieties it will answer some questions.Now, as too where is the silica after the seed was harvested and then after you wash the seed??I would assume if it's the "itchless" or "glabrous Varieties of alpiste seed then drink the milk is safe.. 100% safe not sure.. but then what in the world nowadays that is 100% natural and safe...

I have read that also. I was very careful to pick a product that did not contain calcium. After I read your comment, I looked on the bottle again. I was unable to find calcium any where. Mine is the same as shown.I haven't had much luck with it. In the comment section, it helps some people and not others. One comment said to be sure and take it on an enpty stomach, at least one half hour before eating. I'll make sure that's how I take it, from now on. So far and I've taken quite a few, all it does is make me ravenous.

I did not know that. I am aware that adulterated ingredients in human or animal food regardless of where those ingredients came from can have a harmful effect and avoid specific foods when problems are identified by competent authorities. I have never done a forensic examination of any of the milk bone products I've purchased over the last 20 years so I can't attest to their chemical composition. I can say that they've been a staple for the thirty-plus dogs we've adopted during those years with much apparent enjoyment and no apparent ill-effects. If that paradigm ever changes, I will promptly amend my review. I did not know that.

I've not heard of it being said that way, but the vitamins, minerals, and other supplements may be that equivalent. The nutrients are micro encapsulated and absorb readily into the body. I have taken nano per my endricrinologists recommendation and LOVE the results. More energy, less hunger.

On the bottle it says 78 minerals, 34 enzymes, 17 amino acids, electrolytes, dissolved oxygen and purified water. Cellfood Essential Silica Formula contains naturally occurring organic particles. Supplemental facts: Cellfood Silica Proprietary blend 250mg and Silicon 25mg. It does not give a breakdown of the actual minerals, enzymes or amino acids.

It's iodine crystals mixed with purified water, it takes a day or two to dissolve and I don't remember the potassium iodide is probably a crystal also. I'll get you the website, wait....http://www.acu-cell.com/sni.html ... it's not the site I was looking for but most of them write about tablets (iodoral?), not liquid. This site has loads of information. I think it's considered inorganic but not synthetic. I'm not a biologist or geologist but it's natural enough for me. Another lady asked me where it's derived from and she has no results on her drug dosage so far but she could also have other factors like too much bromine, technical stuff, not enough magnesium on and on.. it's part of a cure not a cure all by itself. Of course doctors won't scan your whole nutrition profile so we're on our own but especially since it says after the thyroid the bosums take the rest of the iodine uptake so I doubt there's a high probability of overdosing on it either. I'd been using about five drops a day and go onto my next health regiment. I alternate with a lot of stuff. Now I'm on an herb kick. I don't think there's any problem with lugols. Check earthclinic.com also they have tons of health stories by real people and a lot on lugols too.

Good Question, I'm not sure but I found this on the cellfoodcenter.com website which might be helpful. "Furthermore, because of the amazing proprietary formulation of Cellfood although it is prepared in a very acidic solution, pH 0.3, as soon as it makes contact with the enzymes in the saliva, it converts and neutralizes the fluids in the mouth into about pH 7.0. Tests with litmus paper have shown that whether one is acidic or alkaline, Cellfood immediately balances and normalizes the body pH."But I do like the product and look forward to continuing use and future benefits Good Question, I'm not sure but I found this on the cellfoodcenter.com website which might be helpful.

Nope. Cellulose is in a lot of things we eat. It's a cheap filler in a lot of foods and is actually one of the primary components of most pills, nowadays. It passes through your system undigested, so you get no nutritional impact from it.
