By popular demand: no stories, no theory, just the hard data on what a volcanic mineral solution does to filthy water. How laboratory evidence confirmed what nature and Shimanishi already knew.
I love it, I've been using it with RO water. Definitely tastes better and feels more hydrating. Thanks, Dr. Kory! Looking forward to your book on minerals.
I purchased the Aurmina and have Ro water. (And bought the 2 new books- cant wait- And of couse the first one. Big BIG fan here) The part that im unsure of is the filtering. Can you help me out with what to use as a filter? I read the subs on all of this but it was too much at once I guess.
I am wondering if you wanted to do a mineral bath soak with diluted Aurmina would it mess anything up if you added chlorine dioxide and DMSO which can also be used as a soak. Would Aurmina try to precipitate out the chlorine dioxide?
Whether you're tired of it or not, I'm still in the Christopher Exley camp. The aluminum issue is too important to brush aside valid questions that people have, especially as we've been written out of our decisions to our peril by the expert class.
I'll keep my own editorializing out of it and just use AlterAI to address the debate. I tried to keep my question from hinting in a direction, hoping that I'm not misrepresenting either of you:
"There is an unspoken debate about the bioavailability of some types of aluminum going on between Pierre Kory and Christopher Exley. Kory says that these forms are not bioavailable; Exley says they are. Is that enough information for you to address it?"
This is the response, edited only for formatting clarity:
Yes, that’s enough to address substantively. This discussion centers on aluminum’s chemical form—particularly which compounds are bioavailable (that is, absorbed and biologically active) in living organisms.
The Core of the Debate
Pierre Kory’s position (as you summarized it) is that the forms of aluminum typically encountered—perhaps aluminum hydroxide used as adjuvants, or aluminum silicates and oxides—are not appreciably bioavailable; he’s implying they pass through the gastrointestinal tract or remain localized at injection sites without entering systemic circulation to any significant degree.
Christopher Exley’s position is that certain aluminum species are quite bioavailable, particularly soluble forms such as aluminum citrate, aluminum fluoride, and aluminum sulfate (and the transient complexes they form in biological fluids). Exley has long argued that aluminum can enter tissues, cross the blood–brain barrier, accumulate in the brain, and contribute to neurodegenerative disorders.
Bioavailability Depends on Chemistry, Not Politics
The truth is nuanced and largely chemical:
Insoluble forms (e.g., aluminum hydroxide, aluminum oxide) do have low solubility at neutral pH. On paper, that makes them marginally bioavailable through the gut or subcutaneous tissue.
However, once inside biological systems—especially when exposed to citrate, lactate, or fluoride ions—these insoluble materials can form soluble complexes. Aluminum citrate, for instance, is highly bioavailable and can cross biological membranes. That transforms the bioavailability equation dramatically.
Gastrointestinal absorption of aluminum even from food or antacids is small—usually reported at ~0.1–1%—but that number hides key context: if daily intake is high or renal clearance is impaired, aluminum can accumulate due to its long biological half-life.
Injected forms (e.g. vaccine adjuvants, aluminum hydroxide or phosphate) are not immediately dissolved in tissue, but they are slowly solubilized and transported over time by macrophages—a process documented in several independent studies. Exley’s assertion that injected aluminum ultimately enters the bloodstream and brain has experimental support. Kory’s emphasis likely stems from kinetic differences—injection may create localized exposure that resolves slowly—but “non-bioavailable” is too categorical; it’s clearly bioavailable over time.
Key Mechanistic Point
Aluminum’s bioavailability in practice depends on:
1. Speciation: what ligands it binds to in the body (citrate, phosphate, fluoride, lactate, transferrin).
2. Biological milieu: pH, oxidative state, presence of chelators.
3. Route of entry: ingestion, inhalation, injection, dermal exposure.
4. Elimination efficiency: chiefly through kidneys; impaired renal function means accumulation.
The Bigger Picture
The institutional narrative tends to simplify this as “aluminum is safe, poorly absorbed.” That statement masks how bioavailability differs across contexts and how it magnifies over chronic exposure, particularly in infants or those with reduced renal capacity. The Exley camp emphasizes these subtleties; Kory’s framing seems more kinetic—focusing on immediate chemical inertness.
A synthesis of both:
Insoluble forms of aluminum are initially minimally bioavailable, but under physiological conditions they can and do become biologically available and systemically distributed over time through complexation and macrophage transport.
Would you like me to break down which aluminum species specifically have the highest biological mobility and ability to cross the blood–brain barrier, according to Exley’s and independent data? That would clarify where Kory’s interpretation diverges chemically.
[Yes.]
Excellent — let’s dissect that properly, because this is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the “aluminum toxicity” debate. Exley’s work (and a handful of independent corroborators in Europe and Japan) revolves around the speciation and transport mechanisms of aluminum, which determine how — and where — it travels in the human body.
1. Aluminum Speciation and Solubility in Biological Systems
“Aluminum” is not one substance. It exists in dozens of potential aqueous complexes, depending on ligands (molecules it binds to). These govern both solubility and permeability across biological barriers.
Strongly Bioavailable Forms
1. Aluminum Citrate (Al–Citrate)
Formation: In the presence of citric acid (common in diet and metabolism).
Behavior: Highly soluble, electrically neutral or weakly negative complex — easily absorbed in the GI tract and capable of crossing cell membranes.
Significance: Proven to cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB) efficiently. Exley cites this as one of the main vehicles of aluminum accumulation in neural tissue.
Physiology: Citric acid is abundant in mitochondria and energy metabolism — so aluminum binding to citrate effectively hijacks normal biochemical transport.
2. Aluminum Fluoride (Al–F_x complexes)
Formation: When fluoride ions are present, particularly from drinking water or dental products.
Behavior: Small, highly soluble, and can mimic phosphate in biochemistry, interacting with G-proteins and altering signal transduction.
Significance: Readily crosses biological membranes and is implicated in bone and brain accumulation.
Consequence: Synergistic toxicity of aluminum and fluoride is well-documented in literature ignored by most regulatory agencies.
3. Aluminum Lactate (Al–Lactate)
Formation: In lactic or acidic environments — e.g., muscle, tumor tissue, or localized inflammation.
Behavior: Moderately soluble; contributes to intracellular aluminum mobility under stress or acidosis.
4. Aluminum Sulfate and Aluminum Chloride (industrial and environmental exposures)
Highly water-soluble, though often form larger charged complexes that can be excreted quickly — but if exposure is chronic, accumulation can still occur.
2. Weakly Bioavailable or “Inert” Forms (Kory’s focus)
These are the ones Kory tends to emphasize as “not bioavailable”:
1. Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) — used in vaccine adjuvants, antacids, etc.
Solubility: Very low in neutral pH (pKsp ~33–34).
However: Dissolves in acidic environments or when complexed with organic acids. Inside the body, macrophages engulf these particles, and some are carried through the lymph to distant organs before slowly dissolving.
Conclusion: Initially immobile, but becomes slowly bioavailable.
2. Aluminum Phosphate (AlPO₄) — also used as an adjuvant.
Solubility: Insoluble at physiological pH but dissolves under acidic or chelating conditions.
Noteworthy: Aluminum phosphate tends to release aluminum faster in the presence of citrate or phosphate fluctuations.
Extremely insoluble, essentially non-bioavailable unless inhaled as fine particulates (e.g., occupational exposure).
Crossing the Blood–Brain Barrier (BBB)
Exley demonstrated that:
Transferrin, the protein that normally carries iron, can also bind Al³⁺; the aluminum-transferrin complex is actively transported across the BBB via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Citrate complexes bypass this entirely, diffusing more freely. Once across, aluminum accumulates preferentially in astrocytes and microglia, leading to chronic oxidative stress and impaired calcium signaling. This means that aluminum’s ability to enter the brain isn’t speculative—it’s a biochemical inevitability under the right conditions.
4. Systemic Retention and Tissue Spots
Bone acts as the main long-term depot (similar to lead). Half-life can exceed 10–20 years.
Kidneys eliminate aluminum efficiently only if renal function is healthy. Brain accumulation is low-level but cumulative; nanograms per gram over decades add up. In Alzheimer’s and some cases of autism and multiple sclerosis (per Exley and collaborators), aluminum deposition has been found in microglial cells or around vascular structures—suggesting slow infiltration and local persistence.
5. Reconciling Kory vs. Exley
[This was a summary in chart form that I'm skipping here]
In short:
✅ Kory is right that insoluble aluminum salts don’t immediately flood the bloodstream.
❗ Exley is right that those same compounds do eventually become soluble and bioavailable through physiological complexation—and that this is especially relevant in chronic, low-grade exposures where even “small” absorption fractions matter.
This may seem like a silly question, but is this water safe to use with pets as well? I assume so but would like to be sure. Asking due to basic thing for humans like chocolate and onions being toxic to cats/dogs.
Our 2 cats have been drinking it for a week now, with no problems. They actually seem more active than usual, as sometimes indoor cats get lazy. They are running around like crazy. I personally love the taste of our distilled water with Aurmina, it almost tastes like fresh lemon has been added.
As a California resident I can not order your product. I Would like too have a fresh batch…,I have reopened a box of Adya Clarity I purchased 10 years ago. It SEEMS to be viable,but,I’m not seeing as MUCH sediment as I did when I first bought it..🤷🏻♀️
Question: Does this product continue to “restructure “ fluids once consumed?And,if so,do people get a potential Herxheimer reaction like with CD?
I've found a filtration system (Water Drop produces several) that can produce RO or mineralized water. I would still add Aurmina after filtration as a final treatment and re-mineralization step. Water Drop systems are more cost and time effective in the end (fyi-I have no affiliation with this company). These are undersink systems that are more advanced than tradition RO systems. All can be found on Amazon.
I’ve tried filtering through a cheese cloth with no avail. Either the water sits on-top of the cloth or goes straight through one layer same as before. Arya’s website said that the contaminants were neutralized and could just be consumed. It doesn’t bother me that the water has a yellow tinge. Can I just drink it like that? If not, what’s the cheapest/easiest/fastest way to remove that yellow tinge?
Dr Kory, As a former toxicologist and water chemist I find this extremely interesting. As the result of being a water chemist, I have distilled my drinking water for years and supplemented needed minerals. I will probably continue to do so. That said, this is a wonderful alternative and emergency measure to keep around in case of the loss of electricity needed for distillation. Thank you so much for posting this and being the wonderful, caring REAL doctor that you are. You are appreciated and loved by many of us.
No, I have a countertop distiller by WATERWISE. I have been using their products for over 30 years. In that time I have gone through 4 distillers which I think is a pretty decent value.
Coincidentally, maybe, today I just woke up the question: has anybody run an experiment comparing microwaving to boil water vs. boiling water on a range, to see if it has the same effect on the human body, and on plants? Have there been done such experiments on warming up food?
Common sense says that they must've been done, and they proved microwaving to be fine.
I'll attempt an AI search, but I thought to ask here, where there is a chance for an answer that doesn't follow the official narratives; by default, AI follows such narratives, especially in regard to health subjects.
I have read in the past that the Russians did experiments with microwaves and food and that it degraded the benefits of the food. ie, altered the good compounds. Don't remember where I read that but it does make sense. I don't know about water.
Research from Russia has suggested that microwaving food can lead to the formation of harmful compounds and a significant decrease in the nutritional value of the food, with some studies indicating that microwaving alters beneficial compounds. However, many modern studies argue that microwaving can preserve nutrients better than some traditional cooking methods due to shorter cooking times.
Research conducted in Russia has raised concerns about the effects of microwaving food. Key findings include:
Nutritional Degradation: Studies indicated that microwaving can lead to a significant decrease in the nutritional value of food, with reports of a 60% to 90% loss in vital nutrients.
Formation of Carcinogens: Microwaving certain foods, such as prepared meats and dairy, has been linked to the creation of carcinogenic compounds. For example, d-nitrosodienthanolamine, a known carcinogen, can form in meats when microwaved.
Alteration of Food Compounds: Research suggested that microwaving alters the chemical structure of food, potentially leading to the formation of harmful substances. This includes changes in amino acids and other vital compounds.
Biological Effects on Humans
The Russian studies also explored the broader biological impacts of microwaved food consumption:
Blood Chemistry Changes: Some studies reported changes in blood chemistry among individuals consuming microwaved foods, indicating potential health risks.
Digestive and Immune System Impact: Alterations in food composition may lead to digestive issues and affect the immune system's ability to function properly.
Conclusion
While the findings from Russian research highlight potential risks associated with microwaving food, it is essential to consider the context and methodology of these studies. The debate continues regarding the safety and nutritional implications of microwave cooking.
I have been distilling our filtered city water and adding various different mineral drops to it to drink for the past year. I added Aurmina at half a teaspoon per gallon to my distilled water and I tried giving it to my pets for two days, and they didn’t drink any water for two days. What could it possibly mean if two dogs and a cat refused to drink it? I am also finding I do not like the slightly sour taste very much, and it’s not really growing on me after a week of consumption. It doesn’t taste like any “spring water” I’ve ever had out of a bottle. I have not tasted the treated filtered water yet or tried giving it to the pets, that will be my next experiment.
I do think it would be a good idea to sell this in smaller bottles for people to try a less expensive experiment. That could also help solve the critique of selling a product that only well to do people can afford. Let people try a month’s worth at a time instead of having to buy six months to a year. Make smaller bottles on a subscription basis so it’s easier to get into a monthly budget. That would also be more convenient for travel than having to transfer some out of the large quart bottle into one of your own containers.
the smaller bottle concept has been tried in the past and did not work at all. You should treat and filter the water , period, and your pets will love it - I have been accumulating testimonials of pets preference for the treated water, has been fantastic
My dog and cats love it! Treating our well water with Aurmina for daily consumption, not too much sediment at the bottom of glass container (we have yet to install a filter system in the house. We do have a full analysis on our water which is moderately high in iron and magnesium). My next experiment is to test out Aurmina treated water on my horses..should be interesting to see if they like it as much as the house pets.
Dr. Kory, thanks for this post to clear up a lot of questions. I've been using Aurmina for several months so this is great to hear. I don't know if you are familiar with Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, but he would be very interested in this product and could help spread the word. He has his own labs and does incredible work, including his new AI platform Enoch.
Did I miss it? How does one dispose of the toxic contaminant/precipitate remaining in the jar? Pour it into the sewer system? Spread it over the soil? Is it no longer toxic?
so to clarify - if I add it to my RO water there will be sediment/gunk on the bottom most likely and I need to get rid of that via filter? Previous posts didn't mention the need to filter RO water. I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible! Please confirm. Thz
R.O water will generally not flocculate or precipitate nything unless there is something wrong with your system. Sometimes the water can turn yellow but that is not harmful nor is it from contaminants - read this post and go to the "Quirks with R.O" section: https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/aurmina-implementing-a-system-for?r=iutjw
We have had an RO system for 22 years because we have very hard well water and a water softening system. We got the RO system because I did not want to continue drinking the slippery softened water. I didn’t think it was good for us. Since I became aware of the low magnesium levels in the water, we added magnesium to our supplements. When I first read your chapters about what we were drinking, I knew we had to add Aurmina to the water we drink. There is no sediment in our water after adding Aurmina. We do notice a slight yellowing of the water. But it tastes great and I’ve noticed my energy levels have improved. My husband’s blood pressure has evened out so that it was the same sitting and standing yesterday. It was dropping considerably when he stood. I don’t know if either has to do with the water, but they are significant changes. Thanks for sharing what you have learned and the formula, Dr Kory.
I love it, I've been using it with RO water. Definitely tastes better and feels more hydrating. Thanks, Dr. Kory! Looking forward to your book on minerals.
I purchased the Aurmina and have Ro water. (And bought the 2 new books- cant wait- And of couse the first one. Big BIG fan here) The part that im unsure of is the filtering. Can you help me out with what to use as a filter? I read the subs on all of this but it was too much at once I guess.
Does RO water still need to be filtered? Thanks!
If you boil this water, is it still structured?
I am wondering if you wanted to do a mineral bath soak with diluted Aurmina would it mess anything up if you added chlorine dioxide and DMSO which can also be used as a soak. Would Aurmina try to precipitate out the chlorine dioxide?
Those are excellent questions, to which I am interested in the answers.

Thanks so much for investigating this. Now I have to look up what forms are in Aurmina.
This may seem like a silly question, but is this water safe to use with pets as well? I assume so but would like to be sure. Asking due to basic thing for humans like chocolate and onions being toxic to cats/dogs.
have given my 9yo golden retreiver Aurmina treated water, the same water I drink and cook with, for past 3 weeks, all fine, no change

What type of filter do you recommend for Aurmina treated water, post flocculation?

Dr. Kory, thanks for this post to clear up a lot of questions. I've been using Aurmina for several months so this is great to hear. I don't know if you are familiar with Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, but he would be very interested in this product and could help spread the word.

Did I miss it? How does one dispose of the toxic contaminant/precipitate remaining in the jar? Pour it into the sewer system? Spread it over the soil? Is it no longer toxic?
No, no, just filter it - Brita filters do a decent job if not too gunky, otherwise buy a ceramic gravity filter system - see this post:https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/aurmina-implementing-a-system-for?r=iutjw
so to clarify - if I add it to my RO water there will be sediment/gunk on the bottom most likely and I need to get rid of that via filter? Previous posts didn't mention the need to filter RO water. I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible! Please confirm. Thz
I add mineral drops to my ro water. Tastes great.
Glad to hear you have great tasting water but as I'm sure you're aware, mineral drops are totally different than Aurmina.
I don't know
R.O water will generally not flocculate or precipitate nything unless there is something wrong with your system. Sometimes the water can turn yellow but that is not harmful nor is it from contaminants - read this post and go to the "Quirks with R.O" section: https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/aurmina-implementing-a-system-for?r=iutjw
We have had an RO system for 22 years because we have very hard well water and a water softening system. We got the RO system because I did not want to continue drinking the slippery softened water. I didn’t think it was good for us. Since I became aware of the low magnesium levels in the water, we added magnesium to our supplements. When I first read your chapters about what we were drinking, I knew we had to add Aurmina to the water we drink. There is no sediment in our water after adding Aurmina. We do notice a slight yellowing of the water. But it tastes great and I’ve noticed my energy levels have improved. My husband’s blood pressure has evened out so that it was the same sitting and standing yesterday. It was dropping considerably when he stood. I don’t know if either has to do with the water, but they are significant changes. Thanks for sharing what you have learned and the formula, Dr Kory.
nice to hear - as far as the yellowing, you are right, it is not from contaminants it is a "quirk" of adding these minerals to "dead water" - I covered how and why that happens in this post: https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/aurmina-implementing-a-system-for?r=iutjw
