Parrots Eating Bentonite
11-12-28
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.

Bentonite Clay is used to clarify wine, mead and all sorts of liquors
Neutral, powdered clay that binds with proteins and settles out of the wine, aiding stability and clarity.
Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with yeast. Mead is not a beer, wine, or spirit in the normal sense; it is its own class of alcohol, and many people believe it is the oldest of the alcoholic beverages. Mead has held a pivotal place in many cultures throughout its nearly 8,000 year history, and it is still enjoyed throughout the world.
The first meads were most likely made simply by taking honey and water and letting them ferment with the naturally occurring yeasts found in the honey. Evidence of early meads has been found in Egypt and on the island of Crete, and it was drunk in Greece throughout the Golden Age. In many early cultures, bee goddesses held central roles in the pantheon, and many have postulated that this was because of the intoxicating effects of mead harvested from local bee hives.
Many people trace the English word honeymoon to a practice of fathers to supply their daughters with enough mead to last a month as a dowry. Drinking this mead throughout the first month of marriage was meant to ensure that the firstborn child would be a male. Other holidays, such as the Yule festivals, also included drinking mead as part of the festivities.
Drinking Bentonite Clay
11-11-01
Bentonite typically is available as a thick tasteless grey gel, but it also comes encapsulated, as well as in powder form.
The best way to drink bentonite is on an empty stomach, or at least 1 hour before or after meals. Drinking bentonite can be part of your regular colon cleansing regimen as it is an intestinal cleanser and gastrointestinal regulator.
Fiber and Bentonite
I'm happy to say there is a new product available that combines fiber with bentonite and thus ameliorates the constipation that can occur from ingesting the clay.
Ground Flaxseed is another essential food source I recommend for everyone to take every day. Try it on your cereal ~ it has a wonderful nutty taste.
Living Clay
Take Bentonite Clay an hour before or after nutritional supplements or drugs. Don't use metal utensils. Drink lots of Water!
1 tbsp of clay daily, mixed with a small amount of juice or water.
Drink water between meals to avoid constipation and if you are prone to constipation take herbal laxative at night.
Bentonite Clay Side Effects and Remedy for ingesting too much betonite powder
11-09-06
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!
Intro
11/06/18
The healing properties of bentonite clay have been used for poisoning, 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.
Jesus healed the blind with Bentonite Clay
Dams are patched with it. The Native Americans used it for money. The Russians capped Chernobyl with it after the nuclear plant melted down. NASA feeds it to astronauts to prevent osteoporosis.
How Bentonite Works
*
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.

Animal Journals
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
In medicine, bentonite is used as an antidote in heavy metal poisoning.
Cataracts and Pascalite
"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."

How to make Liquid Bentonite from dry clay.
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.

Kinds of Clay
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.
Ailments that the Healing Properties of the Bentonite Clay is purported to Cure
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.
Historical Endorsements
It's cheap, foolproof, side-effect free, so simple a child could use it, and endorsed by Jesus Christ, Mahatma Ghandi and Hippocrates.
According to Medical Journals ...
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.
