I think the concern and confusion about this arises from the fact that in Germany, where biochemic literature originated, they tend to use a homoeopathic potency of Silicea rather than a biochemic attenuation. I can’t speak for other companies as to whether their products are homoeopathic and would cause this problem or not, but AllisOne Silicea is biochemic in formulation and action; i.e. it works on a mineral replacement basis rather than a law of similars as in homoeopathy.
In my 22 years of working with tissue salts so far, I have not encountered an adverse effect of Silicea causing an implant of any kind to fail or be rejected. I’ve had many clients with breast implants, dental implants, hip or knee replacements etc. and all of them continue their use of Silicea post-operatively with no adverse reaction. I gave it (and some other tissue salts) to my mother within a few hours of her hip replacement and her surgeon had her off crutches after 4 weeks, and was amazed at how quickly she had healed at the age of 75+.
I would be cautious of using Silicea in cases of organ transplants, where the natural response of the body is to reject the foreign tissue, and anti-rejection medication is prescribed. Perhaps years ago, it was more common for the body to reject the materials used for implants. With the biocompatibility of artificial implants in recent years, implant failure is usually due to compromised surrounding tissue either from inherent causes such as:
- weak bone connective tissue or blood supply,
- damage to the bone during the implant procedure, or
- infections such as peri-implantitis.
AllisOne Silicea helps to accelerate the natural tissue healing processes in whichever scenario and will not simply cause rejection of an otherwise healthy implant.
Thus, in summary the only time that the ability of Silicea to remove foreign bodies would be of concern is:
- if there is a transplanted organ and you are taking anti-rejection medication i.e. the body’s natural response is to reject the transplant, or
- if an implant is unhealthy or the surrounding tissue is necrotic, and the body is naturally trying to solve the problem.
AllisOne Silicea supports the natural healing intelligence of the body; where the implants are healthy, the healing takes place faster. Only if the implant or filling is causing an unhealthy situation that the body would try to remove, will it assist in that natural healing process, and speed it up as well.
If your implants fail or fillings fall out it is because they are compromised, or there is a disease process happening beneath them in the tooth or supporting tissue. These implants would have fallen out or failed regardless of whether you were using the Silicea or not!
