Since MPH does not contain *Si*licon, just were does it come from? The 
binder doesn't either. The human metabolic system does not do anything 
if silicon is ingested. Thus, talc cannot be found in the brain. 
I am resisting making any comment about "rocks in the head" as talc is 
too soft to be a real rock. 
Maybe it is time for Jan to take a powder. :)
