Tracy et al:
I think I've pushed the tolerance levels to the extreme here for off topic
posting... I will certainly answer your questions through private email.

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?
Thanks
Tracy

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
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 ).
