Biography
Henk-Maarten Laane is a MD starting his professional career in 1967 at the University of Amsterdam in the field of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology. Worked as GP and Coroner for the City of Amsterdam (1973-2000). Since 1990 involved in medicine research for HIV/AIDS. Degree in Social Medicine. Since 2000 research on the health effects of Silicon on humans and animals, resulting in the registration and introduction of (patented) silicic acid as food supplement. Based on these supplements also experiments were started on plants. The results showed very positive growth stimulating effects due to the as well the soil as foliar application: the Silicic Acid Agro Technology (= SAAT) was ‘born’. Based on ongoing experiments since 2001 we have shown that (stabilized) silicic acid is very effective as biostimulant, next to its effect on biotic and abiotic stress factors resulting in (much) higher yields with higher quality.
