Via sorption, the clay holds the substances to it's own surface, and carries it
out of the body - that is why it is often effective at curtailing a herx
effect. The body's immune system/elimination system does not then have to deal
with the substance, and bentonite is inert unless it's acting on organs. When
it does act on organs, the action is a detoxification.
Dr. Christopher at one time, in order to answer questions about the possibility
of aluminum contamination from bentonite, ingested fairly large amounts of
bentonite over a period of time, and then had blood work/hair analysis done.
Not only was there no aluminum, but ZERO other heavy metals as well.
Of course, under certain circumstances the clays action is reversed. If a clay
becomes over-contaminated with substances, it "eminates them" ( for lack of a
better word ). This effect can be harnessed in natural medicine as well. The
caution is that one does not want to be exposed to a bentonite that has been
heavily contaminated with undesireable substances.

If the bentonite absorbs whatever it pulls from the body, would there be any
problems with its disposal? suzy

I'm certainly glad you've experienced good results with your candida
protocol!
To keep bentonite pricing in perspective, the reseller cost of bulk USP
bentonite from a full production quarry is about $200.00 for 50 lb. bag.
In
powder form, this would make hundreds of gallons of the similiar substances
that Sonne, Yerba, and others market. The speciality companies, however,
usually feel ( at least in their own minds! ) that their clays are
particularly suitable for internal detoxification. Some of them certainly
have valid points to consider - however, I should mention that we've
received good results from American Colloids 35 mesh industrial bentonite
as
well, which sells from between $15.00 - 25.00 per 50 lb bag.
The type of bentonite one decides to use is largely a personal decision.
USP processed clay is almost a compromise between a natural clay,
completely
unprocessed ( by far the most potent ) and FDA grade clay ( used in things
like Pepto Bismol ).
I personally like V. E. Irons brand USP grade clay - I've followed their
pioneering work in the supplement industry for quite some time, and have a
great respect them.
To give you an idea of the potency of the substance we're talking about
here, I'd like to relate a very true story on how healing clays, when used
properly, can be ONE thing a wise individual does not want to do without:
Back in the mid-eighties, a young gentleman, motor cycle racing enthusiast,
had a fairly severe accident in a race. He was rushed to the hospital with
a leg partially torn to shreds. In short order he developed an infection
which turned gangrene, and as time passed, the infection began to spread
and
worsen.
One night, the doctor in charge of the case made the decision that the leg
needed to be removed, and scheduled surgery for the next morning.
Meanwhile, the gentleman's father finally arrived from out of town. The
father, that same evening ( upon seeing the condition of the leg and
hearing
of the doctor's decision ), picked his son up and stole him away from the
hospital ( didn't even check him out! ). They drove about 1/2 way across
the country to the west coast, where a particular noteworthy bentonite
deposit which the father was familiar with was located.
He took his son to some "oldtimers" who had long been familiar with clay
healing. They procured a large drum, and filled it with a hydrated
bentonite "magma". Upon seeing that these crazy people actually were going
to put his LEG in this this drum of mud, the son strongly resisted, and it
took six men to force the poor chap's leg into the drum.
The resistance didn't last long - bentonite often has a tendency to remove
pain in short order. They left the leg in the clay for four days.
When they removed his leg from the solution, not only was the infection
completely gone, but tissue healing had already advanced at a very rapid
rate. Within two weeks, this lucky chap was back on the race course, leg
healed. His initial infection was most likely a hospital derived
antibiotic
resistant infection ( such occurences are becoming more and more common as
time passes ).
This is not an exception to the rule. Morey ( the gentleman whom oversaw
this small miracle ) and the others involved had the complete confidence in
this treatment because they'd seen the same thing happen over and over
again
for twenty plus years.
For those who have the opportunity to experiment with bulk bentonite, even
quarry processed, a great time to do it is when one doesn't need it. It
can
be hard to believe that such a substance has many profoundly effective
uses.
It can also be hard to experiment when yourself or a loved one has
developed
something tragic which needs immediate and tough decisions.
Externally, clay can even be used to eliminate stubborn urinary tract
infections ( clay packs to the lower abdomen ).
For skin purposes, there is little more effective than a colloidal
silver/bentonite combination. A bentonite magma made from ~ 20ppm CS ( no
need to fear "over-burning" a CS batch for external use ) has many
advantages. It would appear that the CS stays in CS form for the duration
of it's use - if one prevents evaporation, one actually gets the benefit of
colloidal silver's properties ( once the water evaporates, as when sprayed
on the face, the effectiveness is at best drastically reduced ).
