Friedrich Mohs develops the Mohs scale, which ranks minerals based on their hardness. Silica is classified as one of the hardest minerals.

Dr. Louis Kervran, a distinguished French inventor, lecturer, and nominee for the Nobel Prize, played a pivotal role in advancing the study of silica's health benefits. Through his pioneering work, he successfully developed and patented a method to extract silicon from horsetail rushes using only water, entirely free from chemicals or solvents. This groundbreaking technique led to the creation of a water-soluble silicon extract, which opened up new avenues for ongoing research and diverse applications.
Kervran proposed that elements like silicon could transmute into calcium within living organisms, a concept initially mocked by mainstream scientists.

Dr. Edith Carlisle, an American biochemist, conducts groundbreaking research on the essentiality of silica. Her research provided valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the relationship between silica and collagen, deepening our understanding of how silica contributes to the structural and functional integrity of the human body.

Dr. Ravin Jugdaohsingh, American scientist, explores the role of silica in bone health. His studies indicate that silica enhances bone mineralization and may help prevent osteoporosis.

Sc. D. Le Ribault, a French geologist and essayist, studied the therapeutic uses of silica in all its scientific aspects for more than 30 years. In 1994, Le Ribault created a new molecule that was tested for 3 years and had a distinct advantage: it did not require additional drugs to enhance its effectiveness. This molecule proved to be more effective than previous ones and demonstrated exceptional stability. Over time, it was shown that the molecule maintains its monomeric stability for years and can be safely used orally for extended periods of time. This molecule is now globally known as Orgono – Living Silica. In collaboration with medical professionals, Sc. D. Loïc Le Ribault coined the name “silica therapy”, formulating advanced protocols for its application, including spray, vaporizations, and more, as detailed in his seminal work, "The Study of Living Silica Compounds in Human Health" (2002). Beyond these innovations, he amassed and analyzed thousands of testimonials to understand its potential health benefits. His commitment extended to sharing this knowledge globally through two decades of seminars and lectures at prestigious universities and institutions, significantly impacting the field and promoting silica's therapeutic potential on a large scale.

Dr. Christopher Exley, an English chemist known for his work on aluminum toxicity, investigates the potential of silica in aluminum detoxification. Dr. Exley's investigations into the interplay between silica and aluminum opened up fresh perspectives and avenues for comprehending the role of silica in addressing aluminum toxicity. This line of research carries significant implications for human health, as aluminum toxicity has been linked to various health concerns.
