Toxic gases, chemicals, mold, heavy metals, and
other toxins are drawn by the natural negative electrical charge into
the crystal micro pores of the clay. The unique structure of clay
provides literally millions of pores or sieves - “shape-selective
catalysts” - that catch only molecules small enough to fit into the
cavities while excluding larger molecules.
The unique structure of clays therefore gives them unusual filtering capabilities for absorbing toxic wastes, including radioactive contaminants. In just one gram of Zeolite clay, for instance, the three dimensional structure of the channels in its crystalline structure provide up to several hundred square meters of surface area on which absorption (and channel reactions) can take place. The Zeolites are particularly useful for removing heavy metals and radioactive species from water.
Clay has been used as a medium for air filters and
water filters for ages. It is environmentally friendly for waste
dumpsites and has been used as a filter medium not only for the removal
of heavy chemical toxins and heavy metals such as iron, zinc, cadmium,
lead, and copper from individuals but for the removal of radioactive
wastes. Clay has been successfully for the extraction of radionuclides
from human beings and animals as well.
All nuclear waste is mixed with Zeolite clay before
packaging and stored underground because it helps prevent radioactivity
from seeping into the ground after prolonged storage. Surprisingly, the
Zeolites are stable even under the highest levels of radiation, a fact
proven after the fissions reactor meltdowns at both Three Mile Island
and Chernobyl where Zeolites were used to mop up the waste caused by the
accidents.
The British Nuclear Fuels (BNF) also uses a specific
type of Zeolite clay to remove radioactive strontium and cesium - 137
and, therefore, reduces the radioactivity of liquid waste discharged
into the Irish Sea. The Hanford, Washington nuclear weapons facilities
are lined with clay to prevent contamination.
A Swedish study showed another kind of Zeolite could decontaminate live animals and meat affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
Most people know about the dietary or edible clays (Bentonite, Kaolin, Red Clay (Morocco), Fuller’s Earth, French Green clay, Montmorillonite, etc.) and in particular Bentonite and French Green clay which is often part of colonic detoxification regimes because they can absorb heavy metals and contaminants in the intestines.
There are over 200 different types of Bentonite
clay, and the problem with many of these Bentonites is that they have
extremely high aluminum content. So you don’t want to be ingesting the
clay without knowing what is in it. I ran into the same problem with the American French Green clay ... once imported into this country sellers would add in aluminum, talc and sometimes carbonate content to stretch their supply. Years ago the same problem existed
with various colloidal mineral solutions in that they were choked full
of alumina and heavy metals that people were ingesting. Sometimes clays are composed of 65-75% aluminum! This stems from greed.
Putting that particular concern aside, the
composition of the clay particles creates a large surface area
in proportion to the volume of the clay and the greater the surface
area, the greater its power to pick up positively charged particles or
toxins (including heavy metals) and to suck them out of the body.
Russian scientists use clay
to protect their bodies from radiation when working with nuclear
materials. They first coat their hands
and bodies with a hydrated clay mixture before donning radiation
suits, the clay traps stray radiation
particles. Afterwards they just wash it off.
French Green and Bentonite clay absorb radiation so well that after chemnobyl in other countries the fall out of rediation being so great that livestock kept out in some areas were deemed not suitable to eat because of the radiation levels. But by feeding the cattle French Green and Bentonite clay for some time before “harvesting,” farmers were able to get the level down to normal and acceptable levels.
U.S. Army studies also show that Bentonite may be a successful treatment for exposure to chemical warfare and one Army emergency livestock protocol calls for immediate administration for Bentonite internally to counter effects of radiation poisoning in livestock.
Recommended as a radiation detox cocktail for dogs
and cats is a concoction composed of water, aloe vera juice, powdered dulse or kelp,
Brewer’s yeast, apple cider, ground rosemary and vitamin E that proves most effective.
French Green and Bentonite clay will bind and take out a great number of
nasty stuff from anything living.
As with all clays, the more you use, the quicker you tend to detox. The Detox Bath is another possibility for heavy metal detoxification that is equally as strong as the Radiation Detox Bath, and is usually taken just once a week.
Internal clays have been used for a detoxification supplement for hundreds of years to remove disease symptoms. It has the ability to remove toxic metals and chemical residues, bacteria, and blood toxins with virtually no side effects of constipation, diarrhea, or stomach cramping and is also known to remove radiation, arsenic, lead, mercury, and aluminum amid other toxic metals in less than six weeks.
It’s said that after the meltdown of the Chernobyl Soviet nuclear power plant in 1986, the Soviet Union put French Green clay in chocolate bars and dispensed them freely to the masses to remove radiation they may have been exposed to.
Whether it was truly French Green clay or Zeolite or Bentonite clay I cannot confirm, but the point is that clay can be consumed for internal detoxification of radioactive particles because it tends to trap the particles in the gut, which is what has been known to do for centuries.
The
problem with most French Green clay sold in the United States is the
high aluminum content. Once again, GREED ... takes over ... aluminum,
calcium carbonate or talc is added as a filler. Most people haven't a
clue that this done. We are too trusting and in most cases too lazy to
check for ourselves.
Another way to help detox after radioactive exposure is to eat the consumable clays which will bind radioactive particles in your intestine.
This is done for livestock, and the consumption of clays has been used for centuries to help remove toxins from the body. It certainly won’t hurt, and offers the potential to trap some materials, especially when other alternatives are not available.
One more thing - a few more words on clay baths…
For a clay bath to be of any use, not just any clay will do. There are hundreds of different Bentonite clays - ranging from health store brands each one has different chemical compositions and purposes. Many clays sold at health food stores contain chemical emulsifiers, defeating the whole purpose of the bath and many clays are very high in aluminum. Bentonite clays can vary tremendously in their ability to pull out toxic metals and chemicals.
Which one is best?
I import pure French Green Clay and provide it as is. PURE!!
Specially formulated clay baths have been shown to be able to literally pull pollutants out like a magnet, getting rid of years of toxic accumulation in just one bath. Usually you’ll see dark residue in the clay after the very first time you use it in a bath, and people normally take 6-10 baths (once per week) for regular detoxification purposes.
Another powerful food source for the human body is sunlight filtering in through the iris (even with eyelids closed when necessary).
All the best .... on your path to optimal health!
The truth is, not a single product, natural or otherwise is capable of healing the human body. Neither an herb, a clay, a vitamin or mineral supplement, a seaweed or algae, an organic food, nor any other substance is capable of healing the body. In every instance the body will take the nutrition given it, break it down into millions of pieces, combine it with other components already available within the body to make new compounds, then deliver those newly formed metabolic compounds to the places that it knows it needs to go - all according to its own wisdom! In this manner the body creates its own medicines, which are nothing more than its normal complement of amino acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones and a vast number of other natural chemical processes.
Our
job is not to target diseases or micromanage specific chemical
reactions or hormone levels. Our job is simply to nourish the body with a
complete spectrum of the kinds of foods that it will recognize as "real
food". Real food is that which is compatible with the organic nature of the body's original construction. The human body is a natural organism. It was
created from the "dust (or clay) of the earth". Therefore, the perfect
food for the body will also be of earthen origin - unaltered. Earthen
resources that qualify as real food include such things as clay, water,
algae, seaweeds, herbs, fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Anything
less than whole would not be a "real food". This includes "natural"
vitamin and mineral supplements assembled by a laboratory rather than by
Nature.
