Relative to using your Koi pond bentonite, I read from one bentonite supplier that the top 12 in. of a bentonite deposit is sold for Koi pond use. The next 12 to 24 in. is sold for bath and animal feed use. And everything below that is sold for human consumption. I don't know if all suppliers follow a similar rule but you may find that info helpful. Personally I would probably go ahead and use it. - Steve N

Now I think I know - it would be the same idea behind Steve's suggestion to use bentonite clay! I bought some a while back (package says it's made for use in fish ponds) to use in my fish aquarium, and have been wondering if it would be ok for topical and/or oral use along with CS. I need more hours in the day for researching the many various things I want to know more about... >grin< Thanks! Ruth
