Al Impacts Water Dynamics and Biosemiotic Systems Globally
• Al negatively impacts the central nervous system in all species that have been studied, including humans.
• CNS disorders in humans are sensitive indicators of the Al toxicants to which we are being exposed.

• The exchange rates for [Na(H2O6]+ and [Al(H2O)6]3+ differ by a factor of 109.
• [M(H2O)n]z+ + H2O* [M(H2O)n-1(H2O*)]z+ + H2O
• Electron configuration is also a major factor, illustrated by the fact that the rates of water exchange for [Al(H2O)6]3+ and [Ir(H2O)6]3+ differ by a factor of 109 also.
• Water exchange usually follows a dissociative substitution pathway, so the rate constants indicate first order reactions.
• Acid-base reactions: Solutions of metal aquo complexes are acidic owing to the ionization of protons from the water ligands.
• The hydrolyzed species often exhibit very different properties from the precursor hexa-aquo complex. For example, water exchange in [Al(H2O)5OH]2+ is some 20000 times faster than in [Al(H2O)6]3+.

Water Exchange Enhancement on Al3+
“Water exchange on Al3+ is also progressively enhanced by several orders of magnitude in substituting first shell water molecules by F-, malonate, methylmalonate, or salicylate (Table 4) and for H2O exchange on polycations.”

• Neurotropic is an adjective used in medicine defined as (of a virus, toxin, or chemical) tending to attack or affect the nervous system preferentially.
• Aluminium has a propensity for tissue of ectodermal origin.
• Embryological envelopment of tissue layers is biophysically-driven by gradients of interfacial tension, under Brodland’s Differential Interfacial Tension Hypothesis (DITH).
• The neurotoxicant properties of Al are biophysically-based, supramolecular, epigenetic, and begin in utero. Germ cells, stem cells, and all blood cell lines are highly sensitive to Al-induced EIWS.

Redox Stress and/or Interfacial Water Stress
• The redox potential of water is pH dependent.
• “Free radicals” are often associated with vortices, helices, and spirals in liquid-crystalline environments.
• Dynamical vortices of water with variable helical twisting power (HTP) and interfacial tension.
• Magnetohydrodynamics is largely non-thermal (not diffusion-limited).

Disruption of Biosemiotic Coherence = Biosemiotic Entropy
• We need to do everything in our power to evade decoherence of our biological water.
• A combination of EMT and orthomolecular medical intervention is urgently needed.

Al-induced EIWS is Pleiotropic in the Biophysical Sense
• Under Exogenous Interfacial Water Stress (EIWS) theory, long range dynamical gradients of interfacial water tension are necessary for cytokinesis, allostery, and chemotaxis.
• Al-induced EIWS promotes locked-in kinetics, broken symmetry, and loss of anisotropy
• Al-induced EIWS promotes both pro-oxidative and pro-coagulant effects in vivo
• Molecular motors are “driven” in part by non-metabolic ELF EM energy from the environment which is trapped and transduced by interfacial water

Al-induced EIWS Disrupts Stem Cell Function in All Age Groups
• Stem cell niches (“fractones”) in the heart, brain, gut, and RES/marrow are likely to be disrupted.
• “Pericytes” are pluripotent vascular stem cells: highest density is in the brain.
