Regarding clay and ceramics: a very interesting range of ceramics known as EMX ceramics is available widely in Japan and also online from EMTRading.com. (I have no affiliation.) I find that these ceramics impart an influence to water which I consider to be benficial, though I am aware of no studies that confirm this. Anecdotally speaking, I think the EMX ceramics, which can be worn as jewelry, have beneficial therapeutic effects, a topic which an expert such as Jason Eaton might be interested in exploring.
Obviously, the influence of hard, fired ceramic pipe, pellet, or cylinder is not related to the effects of the soft clay JE describes in his fascinating letters. However, the relationship between the two might be very interesting to consider, and might help to answer some of the questions JE has raised. Bottom line: the effects of the clays JE describes remain quite unclear. If fired clays exhibit related effects, some of the answers might emerge. By this I mean that the effects of both types may be energetic rather than chemical, though of course these two categories are related.
