Hi Donna--I have used Biosil off and on (starting/stopping) for over 10 years and never had the problems you state you have. Sorry to hear of your troubles.
You don't say how old you are. That could have something to do with what has happened to you. If you are in your late '40's (did you graduate from high school in 1983?), then things can change distressingly quickly due to the ramping down of hormones. Frequently women in this age bracket begin experimenting with anti-aging supplements, topical products, etc., and it's easy to come to the conclusion that stopping this or that caused all the problems, when in reality we just noticed the problems more because we're paying more attention to them now. Even if you're in your 30's things can get wonky due to the hormone fluctuations of perimenopause.
You also don't say anything about any other supplements you're taking. If you're taking things like non-heme iron, or if you took Biosil without taking any of the other things your skin needs to thrive (vitamin C, etc.) that could have some effect on your skin, too, when you stopped the Biosil.
Not saying this supplement didn't cause your problems, but it *is* unlikely that withdrawing from a single two-month course of silica would cause all these problems. I'm just throwing some alternative explanations out there. This supplement has had a good track record for a long time, although if it's been sold again and another company is making it now, it could have changed. That's happened before. But I certainly hope not, because I'm currently taking it!
Anyway, some more information about the state of your health, your hydration (how much water do you drink per day), other supplements you take, etc., topical products you're using, would be helpful if you want honest, helpful feedback on what's happened to you.
If you're just here to make a scare post, though, I guess you did that. If that's the case then thanks for the drive-by. 
I hope you're not just a drive-by, however...I take this supplement and am honestly interested in hearing more about this. |
