How do kidney stones occur?

What are kidney stones caused by less mobile? Not necessarily. Scholars Australia are investigating a theory that the silica contained in drinking water can cause kidney stones and gall bladder stones.

Research on the theory that is now being conducted at James Cook University in North Queensland, in the northeastern city of Townsville. Dr. Christopher Cuff, a lecturer in crystallography and geo chemical work on the project began three years ago. When he found the number of occurrences of the presence of stones in the gall bladder, kidney and colon among the people who live in Townsville, with a population of 80,000 was Oran.

Research conducted in the world of kidney stones in the human body mostly confined to areas of non-tropical and generally revolves around the two causes that have been accepted by the public, is the work and the food. But there is a third possibility, maybe the stone came from the materials contained in drinking water. This problem has been alluded to in London in the 1960s, when scholars began to connect researchers stone incidence in the human body with a high calcium levels in drinking water in some places.

Dr. Cuff has examined the stones taken from the body of the people who live in the Townsville region and found that composed of calcium silicate. Equipped clues from studies in London, he then entered the analysis of drinking water in Townsville.

It turns out that drinking water containing silica 20 to 100 times more than ordinary drinking water. The next step is to complete the study rocks were statistically medicine in the area of tropical northern Australia. Dr. Cuff said the collapse of the tropics in the rocks is more common because of climate than in the medium. Because the geological conditions of an area, surface water and in soil varies, according to the composition of the soil where the water was flowing on it or penetrate inside.

Water in limestone mountain area will feel rough, more or less depending on the lime contained. Dr. Cuff believes that the most economical solution is to use a fine filter to filter drinking water in cities that need it.
