Volvic Mineral Water
It has been suggested that drinking mineral waters which are high in silica will cause alum salts to be leached from the tissue. Since alum is an adjuvant, it is possible it excites the immune system during the time it is transiting the bloodstream, prior to excretion.
Many MP patients have reported increased immunopathology (IP), in some cases greatly increased IP, when only a small amount of Volvic Mineral Water is added to their diet (as little as 150cc per day). This is unexpected, as Volvic is marketed worldwide by Danone as a beverage. It comes from volcanic underground springs in France.
Those members who are looking to increase their immunopathology might try sampling the effects of Volvic water. Strangely, Volvic seems to energize immune activity in such a way as to generate unexpected IP symptoms, so it is important to introduce a small amount and gradually increase the quantity ingested as its effects become perceptible.
The above explanation of Volvic's actions has been proposed by Dr. Chris Exley, who first brought it to our attention. There may be other modes of action, perhaps via its characteristic microbiotaThe bacterial community which causes chronic diseases - one which almost certainly includes multiple species and bacterial forms., however the alum hypothesis seems most viable at this point in time.
