Excerpt - Detoxing With Clay
There is no single treatment of more
value to the human body than a complete full body detoxification protocol
using Calcium Bentonite Clay as the cleansing agent and carrier for toxin
removal.
The great majority of
articles on detox and colon cleansing should be classified as colon
cleansers themselves, because they will most certainly scare the poo right
out of you! They explain how substances that are toxic to our bodies come
at us from all directions: the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water
we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic waste produced
inside us. Studies have discovered various chemicals from our foods and
environment that indicate man contributes 700,000 tons of pollutants into
the air every day, ranging from everyday household cleaners to cosmetics
and hair dyes. That's just the air! Add in the pesticides and toxins
that are found in our water. Don't forget the chemicals that are
routinely fed to the animals we eat, and the sprayed, preserved, and
genetically altered plants we consume. And that doesn't even factor in
the heavy metal poisoning that's occurring at a truly alarming rate - from
the lead in our paint to the mercury in the fish we eat and the fillings
in our teeth and everything in between. It's truly frightening. The
reports are everywhere.
You can spend weeks
reading article after article, complete with pictures that will keep you
awake at night. We, however, want you to rest easy. We have chosen,
therefore, to concentrate on the benefits of detox - to emphasize the
positive instead of beating you over the head with the all to
prevalent negative. Granted, what we've done to our bodies and our
environment is truly frightening, and the state of our digestive systems -
and consequently our health in general - is nightmarish because of it.
Enough said. Now, here's the good stuff!
The Benefits of Detoxification
Science has shown that
the effects of detoxification on our body’s cells are nothing short of
miraculous. The following is an excerpt from Natasha Lee's article
"Could Detoxification be the Fountain of Youth?
"Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research performed an amazing experiment in the early 1900's. He
managed to sustain the life of cells from a chicken embryo by immersing it
in a solution containing all the nutrients necessary for life and changing
the solution daily. The cells took up nutrients from the nutrient-rich
broth and excreted their wastes into the same solution. The only thing
Dr. Carrel did each day was discard the old solution and replace it with
fresh nutrient solution. The chicken cells lived for 29 years
until one night Dr. Carrel's assistant forgot to change the polluted
solution! We do not know how much longer the cell's life could have been
maintained.
Dr. Carrel concluded at
the end of his experiment that the cell is actually immortal. It is
merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates. He is quoted
saying, "The cell is immortal, renew this fluid at intervals, give the
cell something on which to feed and, so far as we know, the pulsation of
life may go on forever." The average chicken lives about 7 years. His
detoxified, properly nourished chicken cell lived for 29 years.
It may be hard to
believe that the body could live indefinitely, however, a similar level of
vibrant health and life extension can be created in humans by following
the obvious similar principal.
Every cell in our body
excretes waste material, which becomes toxic, and poisonous to our bodies
if we allow it to build up faster than we renew the fluid in which it
floats. According to the above experiment, this is the cause of aging
and degeneration. Factors such as "time" and ideas such as "that's
just life" fade from the picture, with new data in view. The fact is,
every 7 years we have a completely new set of bones, teeth, skin and hair.
Logically, a person should be able to look and feel better than they did 7
years ago by changing and improving the way they take care of their own
body as Dr. Carrel took care of his chicken cell.
Time alone is not a disease or poison, it is the
toxins that accumulate with time that the body cannot withstand and so
deteriorates from. In other words, time alone is not the cause of death.
Poisons are the cause of death of life forms.
So, logically and from the above data by
detoxifying your cells a person can freshen up and grow healthier and
younger than they once were by practicing this principle.
Periodically detoxifying the body, drinking lots of fresh water and
staying smart on nutrition can appear to work miracles. Dr. Carrel
however proved these amazing results are not miracles, just good science."
Kathryn Alexander, one
of the leading experts in detoxification and dietary healing states it
succinctly; "The legacy of 50 years exposure to persistent man-made
chemicals combined with the denigration of the food chain has increased
our susceptibility to chronic degenerative disease and cancer. Reversal
can only come about by resolving these primary causes of disease. By
releasing the toxic burden of the body and restoring its nutritional
status, we can change our internal environment and achieve good health."
The most common symptom
of autointoxication (self-poisoning caused by endogenous microorganisms,
metabolic wastes, or other toxins produced within the body) is mental
dullness and fatigue. Other common symptoms are headache, constipation,
diarrhea, colds, general aches and pains, particularly up and down the
spine and especially in the low back, skin problems, common infections
(due to lowered immuno-competence), morning sluggishness, gas, bad breath,
foul-smelling stool, allergies, intolerance to fatty foods, premenstrual
tension, breast soreness and tendency to repeated vaginal infections. The
good news… Detoxification can relieve these symptoms!
Using Calcium Bentonite Clay to Detox
So, how do we go about this detox business? The
answer is simple - CLAY! Not just any clay, but Calcium Bentonite
Clay. A recognized detoxifying agent, it is in the Smectite group of
clays. Only those clays within the Smectite group have the ability to
absorb as well as adsorb. This means that as the clay passes through
your body, it's negative ionic charge will draw to it anything with a
positive charge (bacteria, viruses, toxins, etc.) and will remove them
from your body. The clay adsorbs (positively charged particles are drawn
to, and stick to it's surface) and also absorbs these particles. The clay
passes through your body, and the toxins are removed as waste.
Ran Knishinsky, author
of The Clay Cure, is an advocate of eating or drinking clay daily.
In his book, he states some of the benefits reported by people using
liquid clay for a period of two to four weeks include: improved intestinal
regularity; relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and
ulcers; a surge in physical energy; clearer complexion; brighter, whiter
eyes; enhanced alertness; emotional uplift; improved tissue and gum
repair; and increased resistance to infections. Calcium Bentonite Clay
works on the entire organism. No part of the body is left untouched by
its healing energies.
We recommend taking clay
daily to maintain a good, clean digestive system. Normal amounts for
adults to take are as follows: Liquid Clay - 1 to 6 Ounces daily,
Hydrated Clay - 1 to 2 Tablespoons daily. So, choose your method (liquid
or hydrated) and stick with it! When taking clay internally, it is very
important to keep the body hydrated by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water
daily. The water helps to soften and loosen impacted fecal material lining
the walls of the small intestine and colon. This material is then absorbed
by the clay and removed from the body through normal elimination.
To do a detox, however,
higher doses are recommended. We suggest doubling the standard,
maintenance doses listed above, by taking the clay in the morning, in the
afternoon, and in the evening, preferably on an empty stomach. And if
you're taking any medication, it is recommended to wait 1-3 hours before
ingesting clay, but please check with your physician, as medications vary
in time release and content. Also, Clay Baths are highly beneficial for
detoxification, especially for cases of heavy metal poisoning. The
directions for Clay Baths are listed below:
Clay Bath Directions for Detoxifying
Pour up to 2 cups of
powdered clay in the bathtub and then run very hot water over the
clay, as hot as it gets. Use a whisk or your hand to stir the clay around
and to help it dissolve. When you've got about 3 inches of water in the
tub and the clay is dissolved, start adding cooler water until the water
reaches the desired temperature.
The bath should neither
be too hot nor too cool, but should be nice and warm, as warm as is
comfortable. Bathing time depends upon your condition, but can be
anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes. Please don't overdo it! If you
stay in too long there is a small possibility you could experience what is
known as a cleansing reaction and feel fatigue, headaches, muscle
soreness, etc. Be aware of your body’s response to the first detox bath.
Another option is to
take about a cup of extra thick liquid Calcium Bentonite Clay and put it
into the bath water. Others have used a full quart and more. It is
highly effective in drawing out toxins. But too much, or too long
exposure, may dry out the skin. If so, when necessary, follow the bath
with a body lotion.
In Energy to Heal,
by Wendell Hoffman, through his own research, Hoffman found that clean,
natural Calcium Bentonite Clay used in a bath could actually draw out
toxic chemicals through the pores of the skin. After many
experiments, he concluded that optimum results are obtained by immersing
oneself in a tub of very warm water mixed with a clean, natural Calcium
Bentonite Clay for exactly 20 minutes! Not just any clay will do. It is
crucial to use "clean clay."
Extreme amounts of clay
used in a bath have been known to help the body detox from severe heavy
metal poisoning. Usually 1 daily bath, 2-4 times in a week is sufficient
to draw out the toxins.
Healing clays have been
used for detoxification purposes for centuries, and, due to several key
factors, are irreplaceable as a part of a cleansing protocol.
“One of the most amazing
effects of clay baths in particular is the ability of the clay to
stimulate the lymphatic system. The more clay that is used in the
therapy, the more powerful the response. I know of people who take clay
baths in pits containing 1.5 tons of heated green Calcium Bentonite
Clay.” Jason Eyton, Eyton’s Earth
Jason went on to say,
“Fairly recently, I had the opportunity to meet with an individual who
likely had one of the worst cases of environmental toxicity in the U.S.
medical history. He eventually found treatment at the John Hopkins Center
for Environmental Medicine, under the care of Dr. Ziem, where he
eventually received a complete cure. He was off the charts with cadmium,
aluminum, silver, mercury, and a few others. The skin on his entire upper
body was slate grey.
Diagnosis was achieved
via the Melisa Test.
Dr. Ziem had to design a
complete protocol from scratch in order to treat him. This included a
strong supplement program, including high doses of Vitamin E and Selenium,
as well as healing Calcium Bentonite Clay used internally. No standard
chelating agents were used.
The most critical part
of Ziem’s treatment protocol was very simple: Steam Sauna Therapy. This
man literally sweated metals you could wipe off with a towel. This of
course would not have been effective without the supplementation.
There is a lot of strong
evidence suggesting that clay therapy may be an ideal, if not the ideal,
treatment for heavy metal toxicity.
Clay works WITH the
human organism, and therefore is dependant on the body’s own resources for
its action. In severe cases, obviously many of the body’s normal
functions begin to shut down.
Therefore, I believe we
need to consider a few simple principles: Stimulation and Cleansing.
I recently had a meeting
with a brilliant genetic scientist. New research indicates that the
immune system makes intelligent choices based on a very wide array of
variables. A single effective choice made by the immune system can become
an instant habit that is passed, on a cellular level, to the entire immune
system. When the body is subjected to substances that induce a toxic
response, the immune system literally makes a decision on how this
substance is to be dealt with. If the primary objective is achieved,
i.e., protection of main circulatory system and organs, then this response
will likely be used thereafter. This is not ideal, as the body can choose
to try to store these substances if immediate systemic elimination was not
possible without deemed risk to the organism.”
In
conclusion, remember that Calcium Bentonite Clay cannot be used wrong.
For a full body detox – get it in you, on you, and all around you in every
fashion possible.
