I have used Silicea 30C and 200C. I have not use the lower potencies but if I were to take Silicea daily I would use the lower potencies. It may be in the combo remedy Biochemic Cell Salts, I have taken those for short periods, mostly for the Mg effects, prescribed by a holistic doctor.
I just reread my post and it sounds like I was saying that I used fingernail condition and growth as an indicator of the H. silicea working. Actually my fingernail comment was in reference to food based silicon not the H. form. I have not used the H. form myself over an extended period of time. I have mostly used it for deep seated wounds in my horses, like a persistent sinus or fistula. I used 200c and resolved a long standing infected tract in one of my horses hooves. It was an amazing response as I had been treating this for sometime before trying the Silicea. I have also used it in a horse that has uveitis, during an attack (they are periodic). In this case I can not say what the effect was as I was giving other herbs and H. remedies. It was quite a severe condition. Got him through the episode and ended up having an experimental Cyclosporine implant put in his one good eye to control the Killer T Cell "over kill" process that happens in the eye. Uveitis is a generic conditioin with many causes, it means inflammation of the uvea, T Cells are mobilized and they actually do too much, causing degeneration in of the structures of the eye. It is a little understood condition that occurs in dogs and humans. Many go blind and never know they have it or that it can now be treated with this new implant, which is working for my horse very well.
