Lots of stuff contains silica, which is just sand. Iceberg lettuce

is more silica and water than anything else. I don't think silica is

a problem, but silicon dioxide or polymethylsiloxane and stuff like

that is to be avoided.

I don't feel good about silica in the foot pads . .. I know it's commonly found . . . But I don't see why, with all the other things they use in the foot pads, that they need to add silica! . . . Unless silica is part of the herbal products they use anyway. That I have no problem with.

BTW, Lana used to participate with us . . . She has two sons who were extremely ill for years (mutilpe hospitalizations) because of silicone hypersensitivity. . . (confirmed by tests) . . . Once she removed all sources of silica from their environment (humanly possible), they abruptly recovered. Recently, one was given a preparation to get rid of warts . . . One application, and the boy had to be hospitalized! . . . She had to fight to keep them from giving him another silicone dioxide product.

Lana is working to alert the FDA to the hypersensitivity issue . . She's going to be sending information that she hopes everyone will use in asking the government to take action.
