Mike:
Thanks for the report! My experience matches your description exactly.
Over the last year, we've come along way in complicating -- I mean
contemplating -- reasons for the effectiveness of clay applications, from a
scientific point of view. All known possible resources have now been
exhausted.
One of the Arizona Universities failed to uncover the mysteries of clay
with
a few well-intentioned but unsuccessful analytical studies. They quickly
ran out of ideas and time, and thus gave up. World-renown and nobel prize
winning Professor Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith was consulted -- by Thierry
Brunet -- who showed brief interest, non-belief, and had no real -- even
whimsical or hypothetical -- explanation to offer. In fact, Thierry has
travelled the world and met with every known expert on healing clays he
could locate. We now, by far, have the largest collection of knowledge and
information ever assembled regarding the subject ( besides anecdotal
experience by users, of course )... Some of France's prominent and gifted
"spiritual" healers have examined clay, expressing amazement at the
powerful
"healing energy" the clay possesses. Initial Kirlian photography done by
extremely knowledgable homeopaths in France has demonstrated that clay
applied locally is an extraordinary stimulating force, and that clay
ingested effects the body's metabolism within a few short minutes of
ingestion... with an unexplainable reach far beyond the digestive system (
as we know, since ingesting clay initially can -- but won't always -- cause
a slight increase in blood pressure, as an example ).
We've collectively turned down an offer to present data at a United Nations
WHO meeting, as the results of the last meeting ( which I did not attend ),
while generating great interest via overwhelming evidence presented, there
was also a great deal of skepticism, including half-hearted accusations of
doctoring photos. Beyond the interest, none of the needed support was
acquired as a result... It seems pointless to... continue the same thing
expecting different results. Incidentally, I have some of the most amazing
images one would ever see regarding the sheer power of healing clay...
But,
these images cannot be released in any form publically, and one must have a
stomach of solid steel to view them... As this was a case of an infection
where treatment had no chance of being successful ( too late ), but the
individual elected to do the therapy ( there would have been no other hope
anywhere ) because miracles can happen. In this case, the individual
eventually required amputation of a hand/forearm ( which would have been
the
first action if the clay therapy was not done ), but the knowledge and
insight gained from the treatment was nearly unfathomable -- to those with
experience with the nature of infections and tissue degeneration. Email me
privately if you wish to see them.
Anyway, I was hoping that the further research would begin to unveil the
mysteries of clay healing from a scientific viewpoint. Sadly, it has done
exactly the opposite!
Antibacterial Time kill studies demonstrated that Illite, which is another
class of green healing clay ( a mica, illuminosilicate ), actually promoted
the growth of bacteria in vitro. Bentonite and Montmorillonite ( smectite,
illuminosilicates ) have proven antibacterial capabilities. Our one
research experiment done with natural bentonite shows that the bentonite
silver mixture is effective against gram positive bacteria ( which the clay
responds very slow to ), with about a 15% reduction in efficacy of the
silver. This is significant, as one can harness the benefits of the clay
without sacrificing too much of the "silver power"... Very few substances
are truly compatible with silver for medicinal applications.
Now, the Illite is much more powerful than montmorillonite in certain
circumstances, such as the Buruli Ulcerations. It is a very powerful
healing clay, and presents more mysteries than it solves. It is far less
effective in other situations, such as baths, where the ion exchange
capability of the smectites, and the way the charge layers form, provides a
far greater ( dare I say catalyst? ) reaction.
We finally got our hands on some natural French illite for testing
purposes,
and we immediately began to "pit it against" our own natural desert
bentonite -- with great relish. The illite is... exotic. I don't have the
numbers in front of me, but the average particle size is minute compared to
even the finest bentonites. It has been hypothesized that the illite
particles are small enough to penetrate the skin barrier, and that this may
be what is rendering the clay effective against the buruli ulcers. I have
argued against this point for many reasons, mostly based on extensive
experience with deep-tissue issues and bentonite. It has always been
hypothesized that it is the ion exchange capacity that provides the
"healing
power" of the smectites, which I have also argued against, based on tests
I've performed with high-sodium bentonites and lower sodium bentonites (
mainly regarding clay poultices, and not baths ). I demonstrated by
experimentation over a three week period of time that clay baths had no
effect on a skin cancer, and that a single clay poultice did.
Anyway, the natural illite has thusfar outperformed our desert clay when
applied to minor skin conditions/infections and skin irritations... by a
relatively wide margin. However, the illite does not have the same
pain-relieving effect that the bentonite has, and it does not seem to have
the reach -- inside the body -- as the natural bentonite has. It is
fantastic internally, and shares many of the properties we are used to
seeing, with no explanation as to why ( illite is a non-swelling clay ).
Of interest:
http://www.eytonsearth.org/mercurytoxicity.html
The lab results have been confirmed in this near-lethal case of mercury
poisoning. Illite used internally in conjunction with montmorillonite clay
baths removed the mercury from the body, bringing down the total mercury
content well within safety limits, while not touching the platinum
levels...
I wish we could have seen a full analysis done comparing other substances.
Furthermore:
http://www.eytonsearth.org/bentonite-psyllium-colloid.html
We've added a new page on utilizing Psyllium with Bentonite for internal
cleansing. This is the first new page of about 15 I have to add, as time
provides.
We aren't any closer to really identifying what brands/types of bentonite
are best -- and why. We are relatively certain that the FDA grade clays
are
the least desireable, and that high sodium bentonites may be excellent for
bath treatments, but not nearly as effective for topical applications and
clay poultices. The two sodium bentonites that we've tested which were not
very effective? One could actually taste the salt.
Our last clay application of note was with a strange and unknown
irritation/growth present on the side of the "knuckle" of a little toe (
beneath the skin ). The irritation was to the point that it was difficult
for the individual to wear a shoe on the foot, and the condition had been
progressively getting worse for about nine months. The individual did not
seek medical attention. Clay application, done over a three day period,
over night, at first appeared to be inneffective. Redness was removed, but
the size of the growth remained the same. The clay use was halted.
However, over the next two months, the irritation subsided, and the growth
actually began to move torward the very tip of the toe, to the point where
it is obviously now dead tissue that exists almost exactly as a callus
would
appear, with no associated pain. It appears as if the body is simply going
to eliminate it. I've never seen such a growth actually move nearly 1/2
inch that was so close to the skin's surface. The lymphatic system is
amazing.
Best Regards,
Jason R. Eaton
