Overthrowing the Temple Author:Martin J. Walker Loic le Ribault became interested in sand while attending university in Paris. He developed the science of exoscopy and became Europe's leading specialist in the properties of silica including a tenure as a forensic pathologist for the French National Police. (La Surete' Nacionale) Loic partnered with another silica research pioneer, Dr. Norbert... more » Duffault, in the 1970s to investigate the health providing applications of silica. These led to the discovery that silica is critical in treating conditions of the skin and bone which only now in the 2010 era do we realize is critical. Loic was able to synthesize an organic silica to treat arthritis, skin damage and weak calcium absorption. The revolutionary aspects of this discovery twice led to Loic being imprisoned by the French authorities as professional jealousies and political pressure was levied against him to forestall the benefits organic silica would place on existing pharmaceutical companies. Martin Walker got to know Loic quite well provides us with a solid view of the discovery and reaction of the use of organic silica and the result furor created by special interest to protect their multi-billion(euro) dollar industry. Martin had previously written of this subject in the 1998 title Loic Le Ribault's Resistance: The creation of a treatment for arthritis and the persecution of its author; France's foremost forensic scientist; and now takes the story further to Loic passing in 2007. The story is updated to include Loic's own writings on the subject and the inside story on bringing Organic Silica to the public's attention.« less
