Bentonite Clay Healing

Many people ask "how long can i take bentonite clay"?

How to take bentonite clay

You should only take benntonite clay for a few days. I realize there are other sites that advocate taking it for a week or longer, but I don't because it has binding properties. You should drink more water also the day that you take the betonite. If you become constipated then take herbal constipation or over-the-counter constipation remedies and discontinue drinking bentonite clay. If you are normally inclined to constipation then take a laxative every night while you drink the clay. Do not take this advice lightly.

I realize that you can become over-zealous in your quest for better health, but overdoing it can result in the bentonite clay side effects of severe constipation and potentially bleeding hemmohroids. As with everything, take bentonite clay in moderation and do not use bentonite clay as a regular regimen especially if you have never used it before and don't know how your body will react to it i.e. severe constipation and bleeding hemroids!

The name "bentonite clay" refers to a clay first identified in cretaceous rocks in Fort Benton, Wyoming. Although bentonite deposits can be found throughout the world, many of the largest concentrations of clay are located in the Great Plains area of North America.

I've suffered from a small stomach ulcer for a while and am on Pantoloc. I also use Gaviscom when my stomach gets upset, but after a while I found it helped very little. One day I decided to drink liquid clay and was astonished that within 30 seconds my stomach felt fine!

I just had an endoscopy and am happy to say that I no longer have an ulcer! Now I'm not saying the bentonite clay healed the ulcer. The clay helped when my stomach was over-acid. I was also taking Ulcetrol, which can be bought in a health food store which contains, Slippery Elm, Malic Acid and Pepsin. I believe this helped cure my ulcer.

Stomach Ulcers: ½ tsp. clay was taken just before eating. When acid was noticed, repeated use. If you are inclined to constipation, then I highly recommend you take an herbal laxative each and every evening of the day you take the clay drink as it can be very constipating.

While many others recommend drinking Bentonite Clay as a dealing regime, I do not. I think it has its place in healing of a specific condition for a very limited time i.e. one or two days. There are too many stories of people going overboard with bentonite clay healing and ending up in the hospital with sever constipation with bleeding.

It activates the immune system to defend itself against illness caused by exposure to harmful poisons that accumulate in the bowel. Such conditions include acid indigestion, heartburn, ulcers, diarrhea, constipation, intestinal irregularity, and parasites. A cleaner colon stimulates the normal mechanism of the intestinal tract by increasing the absorption of minerals and nutrients, thus causing a surge in the body's energy level.

How clay can heal stomach problems, drug-resistant bacteria.

A type of clay regularly mined by mountain gorillas in Rwanda is very similar to the kaolin sold in chemists for relief of upset stomachs. Another good source of clay are termite mounds, and chimpanzees are often seen breaking off chunks of soil from them. In one close study of five chimps seen eating termite soil, all were found to be suffering from gastrointestinal problems.

While studying diets of tribes of Central Africa and Aboriginal tribes of Australia, Dr. Weston A. Price examined their food knapsacks and found some contained balls of clay, with embedded morsels of food, a little of which was dissolved in water. The explanation was that this was to prevent a "sick stomach".

In Michael Abehsera's book, The Healing Power of Clay, he states, among other uses, that clay has been used therapeutically for stomach ulcers, varicose veins, and burns.

Note: If you suffer from constipation, you must drink a lot of water the days you ingest Clay and I recommend taking an herbal remedy for constipation before going to bed that night. If you get constipated, go off the Clay until you can remedy the situation. This is not a regime. Take clay one day only. I am shocked at the articles advocating taking bentonite clay for more than one or two days.

This appears to be the only cautionary note from my standpoint but an important one.

The healing properties of bentonite clay have been used for poisoning, for intestinal problems, elimination of toxins, pathogenic viruses and pesticides, and as an antidote for heavy metal. Bentonite Clay activates the immune system to defend itself against illness caused by exposure to harmful poisons that accumulate in the bowel.

The Bentonite Healing continues as the Clay stimulates a deficient organ and aids in the restoration of the failing function; a powerful agent of stimulation, transformation and transmission. Clay's highly active ingredients are able to induce cellular rebuilding and to hasten all organic processes. Clays attracts and neutralizes poisons from the skin and internal organs.

Bentonite Healing Clay is not a mineral, but a commercial name for "montmorillonite", the active mineral in many medicinal clays. Bentonite Clay healing has effective natural intestinal detoxifying agents.

It was used during the Balkan war of 1910 to reduce mortality from cholera among the soldiers from sixty to three percent. During World War II, Russian and French soldiers were given mandatory rations of mineral clay in their diet every day in order to avoid the spread of diarrhea which was ravaging other neighboring troops.

Mahatma Ghandi himself used healing clays in natural medicine for more than 25 years.

Mineral Clay was made popular in Europe in the 1800s' as an all-purpose and simple healing agent by Dr. Kneipp and other revered naturopaths such as Kuhn, Just, and Felke. Dr. Kneipp advised applying a mixture of mineral clay and vinegar for all fractures.

Bentonite Healing Properties: Clay has a negative electrical attraction for particles that are positively charged. Most toxic poisons, bacteria and viruses are positively charged. These toxins are irresistibly drawn towards the clay.

Bentonite Clay has a negative electrical attraction for particles that are positively charged. Most toxic poisons, bacteria and viruses are positively charged. These toxins are irresistibly drawn towards the clay. Clay is made of flat, microscopic, credit-card-shaped "flakes". Laid edge-to-edge, one gram of these particles has the surface area of somewhere around 10 football fields. The greater the surface area the greater its power to pick up positively charged particles.

Peruvian macaw parrots somehow know the benefits of the clay. They congregate on a an area on the main clay lick outside the Tambopata Research Center. Parrots are great wild fruit eaters, but at certain times of the year only poisonous fruit is available and this is when they land on the clay cliff. They eat the clay in the morning which will dispel the toxins in the poisonous fruit during the day.

For eons Native Americans have been using healing clay. Ran Knishinsky, in his book, The Clay Cure - Natural Healing from the Earth, states that clay has improved the health of many people suffering from a wide range of illnesses, and it stimulates the immune system.

Try Bentonite Clay and discover its healing benefits.

Bentonite is not a mineral, but a commercial name for "montmorillonite", which comes from the city Montmorillon, in France, where the medicinal clay was first identified and is the active mineral in many medicinal clays.

"For maximum internal efficacy, mineral clay must be prepared into a liquid gel by mixing the clay with a liquid and letting it sit until the clay expands into this consistency. In this hydrated form, each clay particle expands and acquires radioactive abilities. It develops a large surface which enables it to pick up many times its own weight in various body toxins. This wide surface is made of a great number of tiny platelets, each with a brilliant negative electrical attraction for positively charged particles. Clay's negative charge is responsible for its amazing detoxifying properties: it is a magnet for many toxic elements present in the human body (heavy metals, pesticides, and free radicals) which are positively charged. This physical pulling power also has an absorbent action (like sticky paper) as toxins are drawn into the porous surface of the clay and bound in suspension. Since liquid clay passes through the body undigested, clay particles are eliminated with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces." Source

Liquid bentonite for elimination - Taken internally, liquid betonite supports the intestinal system in the elimination of toxins. Liquid bentonite is inert which means it passes through the body undigested.

Bentonite properties - the clay is made up of a high number of tiny platelets, with negative electrical charges on their flat surfaces and positive charges on their edges.

When it absorbs water and swells up, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge.

Toxins are drawn into these spaces through electrical attraction and bound. In fact, according to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology, this clay can reportedly absorb pathogenic viruses, as well as herbicides and pesticides. The clay is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.

The Bentonite Healing continues as the Clay stimulates a deficient organ and aids in the restoration of the failing function; a powerful agent of stimulation, transformation and transmission. Clay's highly active ingredients are able to induce cellular rebuilding and to hasten all organic processes. Clays attracts and neutralizes poisons from the skin and internal organs.

In his book "The Clay Cure", Ran Knishinsky discusses how diarrhea can be remedied through the use of clay because of its ability to bind stools. It can take effect right away by binding to irritants in the gastrointestinal tract. It's a good idea to mix the clay with 1 cup of applesauce, which not only makes the clay more palatable, but also adds pectin, which is another binding agent.

Bentonite is used in pharmaceuticals, medical and cosmetics markets. Bentonite is used as a filler in pharmaceutical drugs, and due to its absorption-adsorption capabilities, it allows paste formation. Bentonite is used in industrial protective creams, wet compresses, and anti-irritant lotions for eczema. In medicine, bentonite is used as an antidote in heavy metal poisoning. Personal care products such as mud packs, baby powder, sunburn paint, and face creams may contain bentonite.

Bill Roundy is a retired rancher remembers a generation ago, when he lived in Utah, that he and other cattle ranchers, learnt a valuable lesson by watching their cattle. Whenever a cow got sick and went off her food, the ranchers would turn her out to fend for herself, as they could not afford to throw good money after bad. But, they noticed that, time and time again, the cows would return after a few days, fully recovered, and ready to feed with the rest of the herd. It wasn't long before these ranchers discovered how the cows were recovering. The sickly cattle would take themselves across the desert to clay banks, and feed on them until their health returned. When the ranchers saw how easy and cheap was the solution, they transported clay to their sick cows - a practice still continued today. Free-ranging cattle dig into ancient clay sub soils to access clay and so have no need to be supplemented in this way. [Mahaney,WC Maximilliano, B Hancock, RGV Aufrieter, S and Perez, FL 1996. Geophagy of Holstein hybrid cattle in the northern Andes, Venezuela. Mountain Research and Development, 16 (2) pp 177-180.]

* Rats eat soil when sick - so reliably that geophagy is used as an indicator of gastrointestinal malaise in rats." ...more

"A woman suffering from cataracts and threatened loss of sight was advised by a psychic to use water filtered through Pascalite as eye drops, combining this treatment with Pascalite paste on the eye-lids. The psychic did not know of Pascalite by name, referring to it as a "white clay in the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, ' and it was some time before the patient was able to get an address and secure the white clay, Pascalite. She reports the treatment was effective, the cataracts dissolving. Two other persons have also reported similar results."

The best way to drink bentonite is on an empty stomach, or at least 1 hour before or after meals. Bentonite typically is available as a thick tasteless grey gel, but it also comes encapsulated, as well as in powder form.

Drinking bentonite clay should be part of your regular colon cleansing regimen. You will benefit from greater assimilation because of the clay's action as an intestinal cleanser and gastrointestinal regulator. As your body "cleans house", it is in a better position to more efficiently assimilate the nutrients it needs, whether those nutrients come from your healing diet, vegetable juicing or cod liver oil and any other supplements.

Mix two parts water with one part Mineral Clay to make a gel. You can use a blender or mixer to speed up the process or you can just shake or stir by hand and then wait 3-4 hours for the clay to activate (the water becomes ionized). It should make a gel the consistency of mustard. You can add either water or clay until the right consistency is attained. Keep this gel in a covered, non-metallic container and it will not dry out or separate. It stores with or without refrigeration for an indefinite period. If it does dry out over prolonged storage, just add water and remix.

From Anion A of Switzerland, to Fuller's Earth of the U.S. Midwest, to Argiletz's French Green clay in France, to the fine glacier clays of Canada, to the Dead Sea Muds of the middle east, to the vibrant green bentonites of Wyoming, to the pale grey bentonites of Death Valley, montomorillonite, bentonite, illite, and zeolite have held a long standing reputation for curative powers in natural medicine.

Clay comes in a variety of flavors.

The best clay to use for treatment is calcium montmorillonite. It is also known as "living clay", for it principally consists of minerals that enhance the production of enzymes in all living organisms. It swells zero to little. It is a source of highly absorbable minerals (just ask NASA).

It absorbs radiation. Smart farmers use it with their livestock - it treats several veterinary diseases, animals gain more weight on less feed, and production skyrockets.

Manufacturers use it heavily for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food processing. So just remember that while I tell you about taking clay internally. Yup, I eat dirt. Actually, I drink it.

Bentonite attracts and neutralizes poisons in the intestinal tract. It can eliminate food allergies, food poisoning, mucus colitis, spastic colitis, viral infections, stomach flu, and parasites (parasites are unable to reproduce in the presence of clay). There is virtually no digestive disease that clay will not treat. It enriches and balances blood. It absorbs radiation (think cell phones, microwaves, x-rays, TVs and irradiated food, for starters). It has been used for alcoholism, arthritis, cataracts, diabetic neuropathy, pain treatment, open wounds, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, animal and poisonous insect bites, acne, and anemia. Lacerations, bedsores, spider bites, poison ivy and mysterious rashes seem to vanish.

According to the Canadian Journal of Microbiology (31 [1985], 50-53), Bentonite can absorb pathogenic viruses, aflatoxin (a deadly mold), and pesticides and herbicides including Paraquat and Roundup. The clay is eventually eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.
