A.V.R.A. Can you tell us please how to make out own bnetonite? Which source do you recommend. I am sorry if this might sound odd, but I sent you mail to a friend who uses bentonite, as she has become intrigued since reading your post. She asked me to ask you how to make your own B? Does this make sense?

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: itssu...@aol.com To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 11:33 AM Subject: Re: CS>bentonite (OT) If the bentonite absorbs whatever it pulls from the body, would there be any problems with its disposal? suzy Tracy: 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 ).
