Calcium Bentonite Clay has a uniquely strong negative ionic charge. When hydrated, it attracts anything with a positive ionic charge, such as toxins, metals and parasites. This clay has the ability to both adsorb (stick to the surface) and absorb (draw inside) these undesirables. The toxins are then permanently bound to the clay and are removed when the clay is removed.

Bentonite Clay

Also known as: Colloidal Aluminum Silicate; Montmorillonite Clay

Description

Bentonite Clay is a type of Colloidal Clay that is often used for therapeutic purposes.

Health Benefits of Bentonite Clay

Digestive System

Bentonite Clay may alleviate Diarrhea.
Bentonite Clay may alleviate Heartburn. Bentonite Clay may adsorb Toxins from the Digestive Tract.
Bentonite Clay may adsorb some Radioactive Isotopes within the Digestive System thereby inhibiting their absorption into the body.

Immune System

Bentonite Clay may alleviate some types of Allergies (by binding to water-soluble Allergens).

How Bentonite Clay “Works”

Adsorption

Bentonite Clay is a highly adsorbent medium - this means that it is capable of adsorbing many times its weight/volume in Water. The process of adsorption means that many toxic substances are capable of “sticking” to the outside of Bentonite Clay - Bentonite Clay has a negative electrical (ionic) charge (i.e. opposite to the positive charge of most of the toxins that it adsorbs). Bentonite Clay is also intensely hydrophyllic (i.e. Water-attracting), enabling it to adsorb many Water-soluble substances.

Bentonite Clay Compared to other types of Clay

Bentonite Clay is regarded as the superior type of therapeutic Clay because it is composed primarily of Sodium Monmorillonite - other poorer quality Clays are composed primarily of Kaolinite, Illite, Calcium-based Bentonite and Attapulgite, all of which have a lower degree of ion exchange capability.

Dosage Recommendations

The usual dosage of oral (liquid, hydrated) Bentonite Clay for the purpose of removing toxins from the body is 15 ml (one tablespoon) first thing in the morning followed by a further 15 ml in the evening - a total of 30 ml per day.

Commercial Availability of Bentonite Clay

“Singular” Oral Bentonite Clay Products

Bentonite Clay is available from health food stores and nutrition outlets in the form of:

- liquid suspension (known as hydrated Bentonite)
- loose powder

Oral Health Products

Bentonite Clay is an ingredient in some (natural) Toothpastes.

Topical Products

Bentonite Clay is an ingredient in some topically applied Skin masks.

HEYO GOZO! Bentonite clay and water are the ingredients to make drilling fluid! The clay itself, only poses a problem in water bodies because it is fine, when thoroughly mixed, and it causes silt to get into gill plates of fish.

The plot thickens. There are additives that get added to drilling fluid, to slick it up, or thicken it, and to make it absorb into the sides of a bore hole, to strengthen the sidewalls, and to carry pebbles and dirt, that is now mud, great distances from the bore hole. If that did not happen, you would not have a bore hole, but drill steel in the ground.

Interesting article. Oh yeah, the drilling fluid really raises Hell with boot's.

Interesting....the expert "suck up" substance is used in multiple ways.
