Way back in the 60s a widely selling book appeared called "Biological
Transmutation", I believe out of France.  As usual, if something is printed,
people pick it up and use it as an authority.

In my opinion this is pseudoscience at its worst.

Perhaps trace silicon, or silica, is necessary for the assimilation of
Calcium, as we know magnesium, boron, vitamin D etc. are.

But if you think your body is TRANSMUTING silicon to calcium, I think you
are badly in need of a course in chemistry, or maybe chemotherapy because
the radioactivity generated by the internal transmutation would probably
give you cancer.

If you want to increase your body's calcium content:
        1) eat more calcium
        2) make sure you have the proper trace elements and vitamins for
              proper assimilation.
        3) avoid robbing your body of calcium by eating too many acid foods
             and phosphorus containing soft drinks, etc.
        4) if your body still doesn't assimilate calcium properly see a
doctor
             or practitioner . You may
             need something like calcitonin, or estrogen.
         5) don't eat sand... it's bad for your teeth.
