This corresponds with research carried about by list member J. Eaton,
who sells a clay-based product, I believe. It would be interesting to
hear his thoughts about the French clay.

French Muck: The New Penicillin for MRSA? (28 October 2007)

Scientists have discovered a new and highly effective weapon against
deadly superbugs like the MRSA sweeping through Britain's dirty
hospital wards – green French muck. The dramatic antibiotic success of
agricur, a clay made from ancient volcanic ash found near the Massif
Central, marks it out as a potential rival to penicillin, the wonder
drug of the 20th century. In experiments, the clay killed up to 99 per
cent of superbug colonies within 24 hours. Control samples of MRSA
(methicillin-
resistant Staphylococcus aureus) grew 45-fold in the same period. The
clay has a similar effect on other deadly bacteria tested, including
salmonella, E. coli, and a flesh-eating disease called buruli, a
relative of leprosy which disfigures children across central and
western Africa. It has been classed as "an emerging public health
threat" by the World Health Organization (WHO).
