"In addition to the role it plays as a potent detoxifier, “Calcium
Montmorillonite Clay” has also been used extensively in the treatment of
pain, open wounds, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, intestinal
problems, acne, anemia, and a variety of other health issues. Clay not
only cures minor problems, such as diarrhea and constipation through local
application; it acts on all the organs—on the whole organism. Everything
unhealthy, that emits negative radiations is irresistibly attracted to
clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination. " Dr. Cohen more

The value of specific clays for health care is just being recognized
by medicine today, although native cultures have sought and used these
clays since antiquity. Both
human and animal ingestion of calcium montmorillonite clay minerals have
been an accepted practice throughout the world for many years. Also known
as "living clay" for it principally consists of minerals that enhance the
production of enzymes in all living organisms, Calcium montmorillonite
clay mineral deposits have been used by Native American healers for centuries
as an internal and external healing agent. The Native Americans would use
mineral rich clay on open wounds and for stomach or intestinal distress.
The key to these healing benefits is the natural form in which these minerals
are found.
Calcium Montmorillonite Clay A Miracle of Life
By Dr. Simon Cohen, N.D.
Far removed from prominent view, exists an age old substance in nature,
known as “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay.” There are only a limited
number of “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay” deposits around the world.
The first site was discovered in Montmorillon, France in the 1800’s,
hence the name, Montmorillonite. For centuries Native American
healers used it internally and externally in the treatment of a variety
of illnesses. In years past sailing vessels departing from France
were known to store clay on board for the treatment of dysentery as well
as other ailments. Animals, domestic and wild alike, instinctually
drawn to clay deposits have been observed licking the clay as part of their
everyday diet, and rolling in it to obtain relief from injuries.
A recognized detoxifying agent, nutrient and bactericidal “Calcium Montmorillonite
Clay” is in the smectite group of clays. Only those clays within
the smectite group have the ability to absorb. Its power as a detoxifying
substance comes from its inherent ability to adsorb and absorb. Its
unique ability to grow and change (adsorb) is the reason for its classification
and recognition as a "Living Clay”. While there is more than
one Montmorillonite, the red “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay” of the smectite
group remains a favorite for human use.
Clay
which has been hydro-thermally altered and seasoned in the arid desert
is rich in content. The color of clay is determined by the mixture
and ratio of elements contained within it. Hydro-thermal exposures
over long periods of time affect the clay in two important aspects; it
becomes negatively charged and crystallized. As a result of the crystallization
process the clay is reduced into small particles that make it easy for
the body to assimilate. The negative charges on the clay give it the ability
to adsorb or attract positively charged toxic matter, which is then absorbed
into the clay and dispelled from the body as waste.
In addition to the role it plays as a potent detoxifier, “Calcium Montmorillonite
Clay” has also been used extensively in the treatment of pain, open wounds,
colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, intestinal problems, acne,
anemia, and a variety of other health issues.
(Note:
I mixed a couple of teaspoons of clay into my dog's food and within days
his stools were firm again. I continue to mix clay into his food everyday
to provide him with important nutrients. Shirley)
“Calcium
Montmorillonite Clay” is reported to contain no less than 67 minerals.
This impressive assortment of minerals includes calcium, iron, magnesium,
potassium, manganese, and silica as well as trace elements, those appearing
in very tiny amounts. The mineral content being extremely high sets the
stage for replenishing dietary deficiencies. Today more than ever
before, diets are lacking essential trace minerals and micronutrients.
Without the basic minerals, life cannot exist; without trace minerals,
major deficiencies may develop. Lack of either will make it impossible
for the body to maintain good health and function properly. In clay
the minerals occur in natural proportion to one another encouraging their
absorption in the intestinal tract. Natural “Calcium Montmorillonite”
clay restores minerals in the tissues where they are needed. Furthermore,
minerals are the carriers of the electrical potential in the cells which
enable the hormones, vitamins, and enzymes to function properly.
As mentioned above “Living Clay” is known to have been used historically
as an effective antibacterial in the treatment of dysentery, and as a means
of decontaminating water. Presently it is being used internationally
to clarify and balance small and large bodies of water. This is so
because “Living Clay” particles are smaller than many bacteria; when bacteria
encounters an environment abundant in clay it becomes surrounded by the
clay, and imbedded in it. The immediate result is that the bacteria
are unable to receive nourishment and cannot survive.
The
dominant approach in health care today is from the viewpoint that considers
the notion of parts. The diagnosis of illness is often arrived at
by looking for a specific disease by relying on symptoms surfacing
in an apparently localized part or parts of the body. Once identified
a specific medication for a specific problem is applied. Only recently
has medical science begun once again, to explore the idea that health problems
surface as a result of disease in the whole system, not just one or more
of the parts. The immune system intimately affects each organ on
a fundamental level, which spans the boundaries of all the body’s vital
functions.
This is critical to understanding the cause of chronic and degenerative
disease. The body’s vital systems are dependent on each other. The
presence of disease in any system impacts all systems. A lifestyle
without substantial nutrition, sufficient rest, a proper balance of stress,
and numerous other factors can weaken the immune system. Malfunction
of the immune system leads to infectious disease. It is unrealistic
to treat parts, and expect a whole result.
Because of its inherent healing properties, clay has long been recognized
as a subject worthy of study. It is included as such, in many educational
institutions today, which teach pharmacology, herbology, and nutrition.
“Calcium Montmorillonite Clay” is currently being utilized in hospitals
outside of the United States where it has already proven its effectiveness.
In recent years clay has become a topic of discussion in numerous publications.
Recently more information has become available outlining the important
role “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay” can play in the recovery and maintenance
of health. It has also been receiving significant recognition by
the health care community, as a proven and much overlooked natural alternative
remedy in the prevention and cure of disease.
Recent exposure has spurred the interest of people around the world,
prompting them to seek out reliable high quality resources for clay.
This well deserved notoriety is serving to educate the public about this
natural healing agent, as a true “Miracle of Life”.
December, 1964:
Dr. Benjamin H. Ershoff, begins NASA-sponsored research prompted by evidence
that astronauts' bodies lose large amounts of calcium from the bones under
conditions of weightlessness. According to doctors, such conditions weaken
the body and increase chances that kidney stones may develop during flights
lasting months or years. Ershoff found that supplementing the diet with
calcium alone couldn't reverse the severe damage of severely accelerated
osteoporosis--but clay did, for animals. Especially the Red
Desert™ Clay , produced impressive results in promoting growth
and preventing disorders in the bones of tested animals, Ershoff said.
When a small percentage of the Red Desert™ Clay was added to the diet,
Ershoff said, the animals' body weight increased and bone diseases were
prevented. Little or no benefits were noted, he said, when calcium
alone was added. "This means that the clay supplement contained some factor
or factors other than calcium which promoted improved calcium utilization
and bone formation," he explained. Ershoff added that the consumption of
clay has been observed among many peoples and animals for centuries, especially
in areas where there is a marked deficiency of calcium, iron and other
minerals in the diet. Watch

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published an article on clay
eating and detoxification (Timothy and Duquette 1991). Among the many examples
listed by the authors, the following are some of the more striking evidence
for body purification through the use of clay. When the Pomo Indians
of California consumed clay with traditional bitter and toxic types of
acorns, the clay absorbed the poisons and eliminated the bitterness. The
Indians were able to survive on a staple food that, without clay, would
have posed a serious potential threat to their health. In an experiment
performed under laboratory conditions, rats voluntarily ate clay in response
to gastrointestinal problems induced by poisoning. Further examples cited
chimpanzees who ate clay after ingesting plant foods loaded with toxins.
The article concluded that clays could adsorb dietary toxins, bacterial
toxins associated with gastrointestinal disturbance, hydrogen ions in acidosis,
or metabolic toxins such as steroidal metabolites associated with pregnancy.
All these conditions result in a host of common symptoms, including nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea – in short, symptoms of toxic overload.
40 million Americans don’t even have to go to the doctor to get their
medications, it comes for free in the tap water which is polluted with
all kinds of nasty pharmaceutical drugs. Armed with the proper information,
there’s no reason to fear the latest news about toxins
and pharmaceutical drugs being found in your water. Not to say
that this news isn’t alarming. Measures must be taken to remove these
harmful substances from our eco-system. But until the day that dream
becomes a reality, you can protect yourself and your loved ones with calcium
bentonite clay. Taken internally, therapeutic
clay safely removes toxins from your system. (Protect
Yourself from Pharmaceuticals in Your Water with
Clay or with Water Ionizers and Filters)
According
to an article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,
"Detoxification and Mineral Supplementation As Functions of Geophagy" (Johns
and Duguette 1991), the most prevalent explanation of clay eating is that
it is a response tonutritional deficiency.
In several clinical studies, eating clay has been implicated as a response
to particular deficiencies. In a handful of experiments run by scientists,
mineral deficiencies, such as those for iron or potassium, were introduced
to animals. As a result of those experiments, those animals changed in
their dietary behavior. For instance, iron deficiency has been established
as a reason for the ingestion of certain clays, although there is still
debate on this issue. In the Runjut Valley, in the Sikkim Himalayas, the
natives chew a red clay as a cure for goiter because of its particular
mineral content. It is not uncommon for mineral supplements in health food
stores to contain portions of various types of clay. Certain clays, though
not all clays, contribute major amounts of important minerals, such as
calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc.
While “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay” is a powerful nutrient and detoxifier
it is important to recognize that it is a part of a total health care system.
Healing benefits may result from internal and/or external clay applications.
The clay may be ingested, applied as a poultice, and/or used in a bath.
An appropriate lifestyle and the proper guidance of a health care practitioner
are essential to one’s well being. Determining the most beneficial
and appropriate application of “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay” is best discussed
with someone familiar with its properties.

Natural medicines serve as catalysts triggering our bodies built in
healing mechanisms as they work to restore health. I was prompted
to write this article because of my personal experience with the far reaching
healing powers of natural “Calcium Montmorillonite Clay”. My hope
is that the information provided here will encourage others to consult
with their respective health practitioners, in considering its use as a

Healing
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with Red Desert™ Clay - a Testimonial
"It
all started with a television program. I am not an avid watcher of the
little box, but my husband sure is, and he likes to watch a lot of documentaries.
Well, that is where I saw "Red Desert™ Clay" for the first time, on the
Discovery Channel. I was in the kitchen and heard something on the
television that really interested me. You mean to tell me that NASA gives
their astronauts "clay" to eat! Wow, I was thinking, if NASA uses
it for the well-being of their astronauts, I want it to. So, I ran to the
television, sat down and watched the incredible story of what this clay
is, why NASA used it and who makes it. I got my first 2 lbs. jar
of this clay and started taking it. This was just a week or two before
Christmas of 2005. Why did I buy it? I am at the computer a lot doing accounting
for our small business, good old carpal tunnel syndrome was settling in,
and back problems were also joining in, all contributing to lousy, aching
night of trying to sleep. I was looking for a solution. I have
tried a lot of homeopathic ideas, vitamins, minerals, herbs, what
was one more! I refuse to take prescription drugs, end of story.
I was faithful, taking a good teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach
with a full glass of water. I do not drink sodas or coffee, so you see
water is my liquid of choice so it is easy for me to drink plenty.
Well, one week went by, no difference, two weeks went by, hey maybe something
is going on, but not really sure. Well, the third week, wow, my hands
do not tingle as much as they did, and when I drove, they did not fall
asleep. It is working! One more week, and that was the one for me!
We are all different, and maybe others experience a change sooner or even
later, but me a good month, and I was sleeping, no tingling, hands did
not fall asleep at night! YES! I will say, at times my hands would feel
like they were getting ready to tingle, but did not. I love you Red Desert
™ Clay. But wait, maybe just maybe, it was not the Red Desert™ Clay,
and it was another supplement. Ok, I just recently did a horrible experiment
on myself that has really caused me a lot of pain, but it did prove a point.
I have been taking Red Desert™ Clay over a year now, what if I quit completely.
Well, I did do that for four weeks starting in March and ending yesterday,
April 22. I still took all of my supplements, but cut out the Red
Desert™ Clay completely. Ouch! Guess what, here comes the tingling
in my hands, I have had a horrible time sleeping, trying to find that right
spot so my hands do not go to sleep. Driving started to hurt again. It
has been awful, and today, I started back on my Red
Desert™ Clay and really knowing this time that this clay in my water
works. Did I get my old painful symptoms back right away during my
trial period of no Red Desert™ Clay? Actually, not the first week,
or the second, but by the third week, ugh, I have had a very hard time.
Yes, I was a guinea pig, but not for Science, but for myself and to tell
others that it really does work for me." Starla L. Allen Live2ski2

“The
American Indians are dear to my heart. It is in the spirit of their
traditions that I wish to unfold the story of clay. Without this
dedication to the Indian tradition, the story would lack an essential and
deeply human dimension. As a young woman I struggled with serious health
problems. One day an aging Indian brought me some bags of clay to take
with herbs for the relief of pain, and to restore normal body functioning.
This same man disclosed to me, over the course of several years, the effectiveness
of healing with nature’s resources. While observing and working with other
native healers, I found myself zealous to know more and more of these healing
traditions. While I was privy to the sacred ceremonies of these American
natives, a desire awoke within me to share this reverently held body of
knowledge with humanity. May you taste deeply of the wonder and reverence
for the miracle of life that the story of Living Clay represents.”
The
value of specific clays for health care is just being recognized by medicine
today, although native cultures have sought and used these clays since
antiquity . . . Young Native American Indian women placed small pieces
of clay in their infants’ mouths to pacify them while molding pottery.
Native tradition taught them which clays were edible, while science utilizes
modern techniques to distinguish clay mineral types from the common grain
of clay.
Dietary studies of descendants of the Incas of long ago reveal clay
eating as a common practice. When their ancestral mountain empire
was ravaged, the last of the Inca’s rulers escaped deep into the Andean
mountains. They took with them supplies of clay, which were valued
even above the treasures of the empire. They were transported by
human carriers to the secret city.
As the explorers came to the New World, they observed the American Indian
using various clays. Some of these uses were: the face mask
of a proud warrior, the painted body of a ceremonial dancer; [and] a cool
clay pack on a exhausted messenger.
Clays most valued by the wise Indian healers were sought where hydrothermal
activity was evident. These edible clays were highly treasured, and
to secure a supply, the natives often traveled long distances. The
use of clay was introduced to the pioneers through the skills of the native
Indian women, who on occasion were taken as wives by the white men.
However, the gathering of the clay had traditionally been done by the men
of the tribe, thus substitutions began to occur in the white villages.
Slowly the effectiveness of this healing art was lost...” Buruli

Why would animals want to lick clay? Many animals also eat clay, which
is not only an effective way of binding and excreting various toxins but,
by lining the gut, it can treat gastrointestinal problems. Native people
often mix clay with tannin-rich foods such as acorns before cooking them
(tannins are bitter chemicals produced by plants as a defence but they
are also active against bacteria and fungi).
A type of clay regularly mined by mountain gorillas in Rwanda is very
similar to the kaolin sold in chemists for relief of upset stomachs. Another
good source of clay are termite mounds, and chimpanzees are often seen
breaking off chunks of soil from them. In one close study of five chimps
seen eating termite soil, all were found to be suffering from gastrointestinal
problems.
Most animals are plagued by small biting insects such as fleas, lice,
mites, ticks and various parasites which can drain blood and inhibit growth,
so they have developed a variety of ways to deal with them. Monkeys, apart
from constant grooming, also rub themselves with soothing plants and even
insects. Capuchins in Costa Rica, for instance, use the Piper plant, from
the chilli family, which contains compounds that deaden pain and kill off
insects. Catnip probably does something similar for cats. learn

Bill Roundy is a retired rancher remembers a generation ago, when he
lived in Utah, that he and other cattle ranchers, learnt a valuable lesson
by watching their cattle. Whenever a cow got sick and went off her food,
the ranchers would turn her out to fend for herself, as they could not
afford to throw good money after bad. But, they noticed that, time and
time again, the cows would return after a few days, fully recovered, and
ready to feed with the rest of the herd. It wasn't long before these ranchers
discovered how the cows were recovering. The sickly cattle would take themselves
across the desert to clay banks, and feed on them until their health returned.
When the ranchers saw how easy and cheap was the solution, they transported
clay to their sick cows - a practice still continued today. Free-ranging
cattle dig into ancient clay sub soils to access clay and so have no need
to be supplemented in this way.

montmorillonite clay for dogs, cats, horses and farm animals
In
her marvelous book, Wild
Health: How Animals Keep Themselves Well and What We Can Learn From Them,
Cindy
Engles, Ph.D. devotes an entire chapter to geophagy (clay or earth-eating).
She documents the benefit of clay to human and animal health all over the
world. Mammals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates have been observed to
eat dirt on every continent except Antartica. There is evidence that
humans have been eating earth for at least forty thousand years.
Benefits of calcium montmorillonite clay minerals have been documented
in research conducted by many scientists and leading universities. Dr.
B.H. Ershoff, from the University of Southern California School of Medicine,
conducted research for NASA which demonstrated the growth promoting properties
of calcium montmorillonite minerals in cattle. Dr. Quisenberry, from Texas
AM, researched the beneficial effects of calcium montmorillonite clays
when fed to many farm animals including horses, pigs, chickens, etc. Neva
Jensen, a nationally known nutrition expert, wrote a book on Red Desert
™ Clay called "The Healing Power of Living Clay," explaining how the nutrients
in certain clays are assimilated in our bodies. The US Department of Fish
and Wildlife conducted similar studies on trout fish on the Snake River
in Hagerman, Idaho revealing the same health promoting effects. All of
these studies were specific to Red
Desert™ Clay.
"Many
species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and even insects, in all parts of
the world, eat dirt. Known as geophagy (earth-eating) this habit has long
been assumed to be an attempt to rectify mineral deficiciencies in their
diet. However new evidence suggests that this cannot always be the case.
It has become apparent that the clay content is often the most important
ingredient of selected soils. Clay is an effective binding agent as its
chemical structure allows other chemicals to bond with it and so lose their
reactivity. Clay is therefore an effective deactivator of toxins from diet
or pathogens. Clay is the primary ingredient of kaolin and kaopectate that
we use when suffering from gastrointestinal malaise.
Biologists in Canada and Alaska
have seen brown bears lick clay from banks alongside footpaths. At the
same time, their scats are full of clay.
In Venezuela free-ranging cattle
dig and lick at clay subsoils. In Africa, the African buffalo licks clay
from any newly exposed subsoil.
Chimpanzees, giraffes, and rhinoceroses
eat regular mouthfuls of clay-rich termite mound soil and gorillas mine
clay-rich volcanic rock from under the exposed roots of ancient trees.
Deep in the rain forests of
New Guinea, Jared Diamond was surprised to see parrots, pigeons and crows
fly down to a new landslide of earth and eat the bare dirt. The birds flocked
to this rare opportunity to access bare earth in an area densely covered
with vegetation. Not all of the observed 140 bird species came down to
eat earth. Only the eight herbivorous species that regularly ate fruit,
seeds and flowers. Plants naturally contain numerous toxins that protect
them from predators and pathogens. When the landslide soils were analysed
they were found to contain less minerals than the surrounding top soil
but again the clay content was high and, what is more, found to be more
effective at binding alkaloids and tannins than pure pharmaceutical kaolinite.
These birds were taking advantage of newly disturbed earth and selecting
soil of just the right properties to bind and deactivate plant toxins [Diamond,J

Adsorbing
and Absorbing Poisons
The
ideal clay is one that will adsorb and absorb the poisons,
as well as enhance or expand on whatever nutrients have been taken. For
instance, if the herbs ginseng and garlic have been taken, or the antioxidant
pycnogenol, one should benefit from greater assimilation because of the
clay's action as an intestinal cleanser and gastrointestinal regulator.
As the body cleans house, it is in a better position to more efficiently
assimilate the much-needed nutrients.
Unfortunately,
many people take a handful of supplements but never reap the desired effects
because of a malfunctioning colon. Whereas a healthy person will digest
most of whatever food substance he or she puts into the body, someone whose
colon function is deficient may digest very little. Although new health
programs may be introduced, sometimes the person is still feeling run-down,
cranky, and sick. Clay can be an important part of one's health program
because it assists colon function. Then, whatever supplements are taken
in addition to the clay will be better used by the body because the body
will have the means to do so. More about Adsorbing versus
Absorbing
Mineral Deficiency and Supplementation
Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium,
iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and silica as well as trace elements
- those appearing in very tiny amounts. Without the basic minerals, life
cannot exist; without the trace minerals, major deficiencies will develop.
The lack of either will make it impossible for the body to maintain good
health.
Most people don't realize the importance of minerals and underestimate
their legitimacy and use. This is too bad, because the body cannot manufacture
its own minerals. Instead, they must be supplied by outside sources. Our
need for minerals is as important as our need for air or water.
"The body can tolerate a deficiency of vitamins for a longer period
of time than it can a deficiency of minerals. A slight change in the blood
concentration of important minerals may rapidly endanger life," says F.
P. Anita, M.D., in his book Clinical Dietetics and Nutrition (1989). Furthermore,
mineral deficiencies can exacerbate symptoms caused by vitamin deficiency.
In most clays, the mineral exists in natural proportion to one another.
This encourages their absorption by the intestinal tract. Accordingly,
clay has been used by many tribes and cultures in the treatment of anemia
and other mineral deficiencies
Minerals
are present in living tissue and are essential to all chemical reactions
in the body. However, the body cannot manufacture its own minerals, and
they must therefore be supplied by an outside source. Without minerals,
the body will easily succumb to disease. What Do Minerals Do?
Minerals perform a number of important functions. They:
1.
Supply major elements and trace elements that may be lacking in the diet.
2.
Act as catalysts, thus playing a major role in metabolism and cell building.
3.
Regulate the permeability of cell membranes.
4.
Maintain water balance and osmotic pressure between the inside and outside
environment.
5.
Influence the contractility of muscles.
6.
Regulate the response of nerves to stimuli.
Why are
minerals so important to the chemical reactions in the human body? The
cell is like an electrical battery with positive and negative charges.
When the energy of the battery begins to weaken, the cell becomes sick
and weak. However, if the dying cell is charged by an electrical current,
it will become living once again. Minerals themselves hold positive and
electrical charges. The exchange of these charges accounts for its action.
Scientists are not sure exactly how this works or to what degree it does.
Yet, when the cell is given the essential minerals it needs to live, it
can regenerate and "nurse" itself back to health.
Clay works best when taken over a long period of time. That's because
its actions are subtle. Like a snowball rolling down the hill, it starts
off small and slow. As it continues to roll, it soon picks up momentum
and goes faster. Clay does not offer instant cures for all ailments, but
history shows it can encourage the body to put up a better fight when taken
over a long period of time.
When clay is taken for indefinite periods of time, it has no addictive
qualities. This is a big concern for many who begin eating the clay.
The effects can be so positive that it scares them into thinking they might
need it forever. However, one can quit eating clay at any time. There are
no withdrawal symptoms, and you will never need to enter a withdrawal program.
Many people ask if clay is something they have to take for the rest
of their life. The answer to the question, of course, is they don't have
to; there is no risk in discontinuing its use. But, why not take something
that is good and will help clean out your body? Especially in today's highly
polluted world, the liver and kidneys are so overworked they never have
a chance to rest. Taking a spoonful of earth minerals every day helps them
to work better and keeps the mind and body functioning in tip-top condition.
To remain healthy, eat clay for a long time.

Calcium
Montmorillonite Clay
Both
human and animal ingestion of calcium montmorillonite minerals have been
an accepted practice throughout the world for many years. Calcium montmorillonite
mineral deposits have been used by Native American healers for centuries
as an internal and external healing agent. The Native Americans would use
mineral rich clay on open wounds and for stomach or intestinal distress.
The key to these healing benefits is the natural form in which these minerals
are found.
Montmorillonite
belongs to the smectite group of clays. There are two types of montmorillonite,
sodium and calcium. Sodium montmorillonite is commonly known as bentonite;
the name is derived from the location of the first commercial deposit mined
at Fort Benton, Wyoming USA. Bentonite principally consists of sodium montmorillonite
in combination with 10 to 20% of various mineral impurities such as feldspars,
calcite, silica, gypsum, etc. Sodium montmorillonite clays are the industrial
clays used in things like: plaster, oil well drilling mud, cat litter,
matches, cement tiles, lubricating grease, paints, copy paper, dynamite,
shoe polish, concrete, cleaning agents, wall boards, crayons, and bleaching
agents to mention a few.
Calcium
montmorillonite, the second type of montmorillonite, is also known as "living
clay" for it principally consists of minerals that enhance the production
of enzymes in all living organisms. California Earth Minerals calcium montmorillonite
is called Red
Desert™ Clay. It is the preferred choice to use for soil, plants, animals
and humans, especially when ingested, hence "edible clays. " Benefits of
calcium montmorillonite minerals have been documented in research conducted
by many scientists and leading universities. Dr. B.H. Ershoff, from the
University of Southern California School of Medicine, conducted research
for NASA which demonstrated the growth promoting properties of calcium
montmorillonite minerals in cattle. Dr. Quisenberry, from Texas A/M, researched
the beneficial effects of calcium montmorillonite clays when fed to many
farm animals including horses, pigs, chickens, etc. Neva Jensen, a nationally
known nutrition expert, wrote a book on Red Desert™ Clay called "The Healing
Power of Living Clay," explaining how the nutrients in certain clays are
assimilated in our bodies. The US Department of Fish and Wildlife conducted
similar studies on trout fish on the Snake River in Hagerman, Idaho revealing
the same health promoting effects. All of these studies were specific to
Red Desert™ Clay.
The
benefits of Red Desert™ Clay are due to the mineral content or trace elements
which are vital to the cellular functions of all forms of living creatures.
Perfect health can only be obtained by a diet which supplies a proper balance
of essential nutrients. Trace mineral elements are necessary for vitamins
and enzymes to function. Without enzymes the body can not activate certain
chemical processes like digestion or the synthesis of proteins within cells.
For example:
A
trace of Copper is needed for the synthesis of hemoglobin.
A
trace of Cobalt is needed to make vitamin B 12.

trace of Zinc is needed by the pancreas to manufacture insulin.
However,
modern agricultural practices jeopardize our health. Our farming techniques
use the soil over and over for high yield mass production, depleting the
soil and the crops of vital essential elements. As soil health declines,
crop health falters and farmers become increasingly reliant upon synthetic
petroleum-based fertilizers to artificially replenish the soil with nitrogen,
phosphorous, and potassium (NPK); only three essential elements. The tradeoff
for adding synthetic enhancers is that the living soil remains deprived
of naturally occurring bacteria that produce nitrogen, thus the soil is
dying and crops actually become dependent on artificial fertilizer to sustain
life. Aquifers are now contaminated with nitrates that were leached from
farmlands. The combination of leaching from rain and irrigation, overuse
of the land, and chemical fertilizers deteriorates the level of nutrients
in our soil. As a result, most of the food grown is deficient in trace
mineral elements. The few trace mineral elements that remain are removed
during processing, e.g., the milling of wheat.
These
same crops are used in turn to feed the animals we use for food. Mass production
rids these animals of their natural grazing habits, so animal feeds are
needed to supplement or replace their natural food sources. The plant life
used to create animal feed is deficient of naturally occurring trace elements,
therefore, the animals are robbed of these life giving nutrients.
Studies
have shown that there is a relationship between human malnutrition and
the depletion of trace elements in soil. According to the USDA, we would
have to eat 75 bowls spinach in order to get the same amount of iron as
one bowl eaten in 1948. As a result, malnutrition exists in 57% of US citizens
over the age of 65! To slow (and eventually reverse) this malnutrition
trend, we need to look more closely at nature and learn a more complete
picture of health.
Animals
are instinctively selective about the types of minerals they will ingest,
shunning sedimentary minerals in favor of mineral deposits formed by igneous
hydrothermal activity. Extensive studies with cattle, horses, pigs, fish,
chickens and other animals have shown that the volume of food intake is
less when mineral supplements are added to the their diet. Additional benefits
are noted as well, for example, increases in butter fat and milk output
are documented from dairy cows. These improvements have been found in all
studies using a specific type of calcium montmorillonite.
Not
all calcium montmorillonite is the same. In order to absorb the trace
elements, these elements must be of a small size. Neva Jensen states that
Red
Desert™ Clay has the advantage of increased exchange properties since
the California Earth Minerals calcium montmorillonite deposit has undergone
extensive hydrothermal exposure. These favorable properties were created
naturally from igneous activity deep in the fissures of the earth, bringing
boiling water to the surface of the earth, and creating extensive pools
of bubbling mud. These bubbling pools churn the calcium montmorillonite,
adding beneficial trace minerals and breaking down the larger size parent
material. Over a long period of time this activity brings about complete
fragmentation or crystallization and hydrolysis of the clay making it readily
available for absorption.
Mineral
deposits formed by igneous activity in bubbling mudpots have a calcium
magnesium complex which can be activated by a +1 or -1 of a hydrogen or
oxygen ion. Minerals are found throughout North America, however, Red Desert
™ Clay is found in a region where the rainfall is minimal, moisture is
non-existent, and temperature consistently high. This combination of arid
conditions keeps the ion in an 'open ion state' that is more usable. Deposits
which are found in Northern areas where there is rain, snowfall and leaching
are not as likely to be found in an 'open ion state', thereby being of
lower quality and grade. The negative ion charge is best used by the body
for detoxification purposes. All toxins are positively charged. In nature,
opposites attract. Thus, the negative ions attract the toxins’ positive
ions, facilitating the movement of toxins through the kidneys or lymphatic
system to a site of normal excretion of the toxins.
Red
Desert™ Clay can help to improve our health; from replenishing our soil
with vital essential elements, to improving the vitality of our plant and
animal foods, and by removing toxins from our bodies. Native Americans
knew this. Animals instinctively know this. Scientific, medical, and agricultural
research has proven this. Use life promoting Red Desert™ Clay.
Calcium montmorillonite clays and animals
Dr. Quisenberry, from Texas A?M, researched the beneficial effects of
calcium montmorillonite clays when fed to many farm animals including horses,
pigs, chickens, etc. Neva Jensen, a nationally known nutrition expert,
wrote a book on Red Desert™ Clay called "The Healing Power of Living Clay,"
explaining how the nutrients in certain clays are assimilated in our bodies.
The US Department of Fish and Wildlife conducted similar studies on trout
fish on the Snake River in Hagerman, Idaho revealing the same health promoting
effects. All of these studies were specific to Red Desert™ Clay.

By
going back to our base physical components, it can be safely said that
the physical body is built from multitudes of particles held together by
electrical bonds. Electrical forces are what hold atoms and molecules together.
Chemical bonds and reactions depend on these electrical forces. Therefore,
all chemical reactions are, in essence, reorganizations of electrical forces,
which continue to be vital at body levels, i.e., tissues and organs. When
this is all taken into account, a living organism is shown to be an extremely
intricate electrical system (Gibson and Gibson 1987).
During
illness, the vital force is weak and incapable of supporting the body and
its functions. In health, however, the opposite occurs: the force is strong
and is able to counteract sickness and decay. What keeps the immune system
running is the energy that feeds it, the substance of life. The body will
not run well, or will at least run with all sorts of mechanical problems,
when there is no energy to support it.
When
clay is consumed, its vital force is released into the physical body and
mingles with the vital energy of the body, creating a stronger, more powerful
energy in the host. Its particles are agents of stimulation and transformation
capable of withholding and releasing energy at impulse. The natural magnetic
action transmits a remarkable power to the organism and helps to rebuild
vital potential through the liberation of latent energy. When it is in
contact with the body, its very nature compels it to release its vital
force: the same vital force from which so many plants and animals feed.
Therefore,
in order to create health, the body must be stimulated and restimulated
by another working energy, like clay. When the immune system does not function
at its best, the clay stimulates the body's inner resources to awaken the
stagnant energy. It supplies the body with the available magnetism to run
well.
The
best-known characteristic of clay is that it "acts as needed". Clay is
said to propel the immune system to find a new healthy balance. Reactions
are not forced, but rather triggered into effect as they are needed. To
put it into other words, clay simply strengthens the body to a point of
higher resistance. In this way, the body's natural immune system has an
improved chance of restoring and maintaining health.
I enjoy drinking
calcium montmorillonite clay water everyday (Red
Desert™ Clay). I sprinkle a tablespoon of the Red Desert™ Clay clay
of into a quart of filtered water for my drinking water and also
in my dog's water bowl and over his food. Unlike the pascalite or bentonite
clay, Red Desert™ Clay is not gritty and is tasteless. Shirley
Internal/External Uses
For healing and therapeutic purposes, clay may be used externally and
orally. Eating clay by dissolving it in water can be a wonder working cure.
(However, not all clays are safe to eat. For details, see Eeny, Meeny,
Miny—Montmorillonite). Applied in poultices and compresses, clay
provides numerous benefits. It can heal sores and ulcers and aid
in the rebuilding of healthy tissues and cells, and even of fractured bones
and vertebrae.
Clay (together with lemon) acts on capillaries, liberating them, dissolving
crystals and “flakes.” Its natural tendency is to absorb toxins.
For example, it is useful in neutralizing intoxification caused by poisonous
mushrooms and chemical acids.
Taken orally, clay initiates a many-pronged effect. In cases of
organic disorders, its intense activity eliminates and destroys unhealthy
cells and activates the rebuilding of healthy ones. Besides the colloidal
properties of clay, it acts as a cleansing agent eliminating all noxious
substances. The same sedating, relaxing, absorbing and healing action
is seen in treatment of the inflammation of the intestines as well as amoebic
and other types of dysentery.
All this is the ‘direct action,’ or the immediate action of clay on
the digestive channel. But clay activity goes much further:
clay not only cures minor problems, such as diarrhea and constipation through
local application; it acts on all the organs—on the whole organism.
Everything unhealthy, that emits negative radiations is irresistibly attracted
to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination.
For true healing to occur in a mal-functioning (or partially-functioning)
organ, a remedy must do more than supply a lacking substance. Clay
goes the extra mile by stimulating the deficient organ, thereby restoring
the failing organ back to health.
Alchemy of Elements
Clay is an effective agent for an extensive list of ailments—too many
to elucidate upon in the scope of this project. For this reason,
please follow our “quick reference list” and links to further reading on
any specific topic. Moreover, an analysis of its composition is not
sufficient to explain the miraculous results it produces. Wherever
there is a deficiency, clay seems to supply the needed substance, regardless
of whether or not the clay itself is rich in that substance. Clay
does more than restore a particular substance lacking in the body.
Where synthetic substances (i.e., medications) may act this way, clay does
more than just remedy a particular deficiency.
One of clay’s peculiarities is based on its physical-chemical domination.
From a thermo-dynamic point of view, we must admit that clay cannot be
the sole source of energy of the phenomena it produces. Clay is effective
through a dynamic presence far more significant than a mere consideration
of the substances it contains. It’s the alchemy of elements that
enables it to act as a catalyst, rather than an agent in itself.
This is because clay is a living substance. Clay is “alive.”
Awaken Your Extraordinary Energy Resources
Clay receives vital energies from sun, air, and waters, making it a
powerful agent of stimulation, transformation and transmission of energy.
As every filing from a magnet maintains its properties, every parcel of
clay retains a considerable amount of energy of our planet’s large and
powerful magnetic entity. This radioactive action (def.: emission
and propagation and emission of energy in the form of rays or waves) transmits
extraordinary strength to an organism and helps rebuild vital potential
by liberating its latent energy. We all possess extraordinary energy resources
that normally remain dormant. Clay awakens them!
It would be presumptuous to attempt a precise and concrete explanation
of the basic action of clay. Among the properties to which we can
attribute its effect is radioactivity. Clay is radioactive to a degree
(as is everything), but this radioactivity is generally imperceptible to
the testing apparatus at present used in laboratories. Some mud's
are an exception.
Radio-esthetically, the matter has been extensively discussed.
Scientists differ widely as to the significance of this radioactivity in
clay. The different compositions of clays further complicate this
phenomenon.
It seems that clay has, among other properties, that of either stimulating
a deficiency or absorbing an excess in the radioactivity of the body on
which it is applied. On an organism that has suffered and still retains
the radiations of radium (or any other intensive radioactive source), the
radioactivity is first enhanced and then absorbed. Clay could, in
this way, ensure the protection of organisms over-exposed to atomic radiations.
This radioactive effect has been researched: today, when everyone
is forcibly submitted to many artificially provoked radioactive aggressions,
such as dust in the atmosphere from bomb testing, everything increasing
this danger should be avoided. Experiments made with the Geiger encounter
have demonstrated that dry clay absorbs a very important part of this surrounding
radioactivity.
Clay minerals are found in various proportions to produce the great
diversity of clays in nature. The mixture of elements accounts for
the various colors of the clays created by the predominant mineral contained
in it.
Clay is a plentiful material: any soil sample may contain a few clay
particles. Clay’s mineral properties establish the size of the clay
particle. Clay minerals are silicate crystals that are so fine-grained
they’re really micro crystals, meaning that they’re easily absorbed by
the human body.
In general, clays contain about fifteen minerals, and many more trace
minerals. In the basic fifteen minerals, a typical element such as
magnesium may be the dominant component. It can be replaced by aluminum
or possibly iron, or any single mineral substance since it becomes an active
or “rotating” ion, which creates an energy field around it. This
occurs as the molecules of a single mineral break into its simpler constituents,
or as two interacting minerals exchange a portion of their constituents.
Any of the basic groups may be replaced by another substance until the
mineral structure is essentially balanced electrically. The extent
to which the clay mineral ions become active determines the clay’s classification
as “living clay.” This may be accomplished by the addition of a molecule
of water if the clay mineral has been created in such a way as to contain
a charge. Living clays have not been chemically treated in any way.
Eeny, Meeny, Miny—Montmorillonite
To reap the all of clay’s wonder-working benefits, take clay that meets
the stringent U.S. federal purity standards for microbial limits, absence
of pathogens, absence of adulteration, and product consistency. Most clay
sold in health food stores (in a dietary supplement section) should be
safe for consumption, but always ask a customer service representative
if you’re not certain. Both Montmorillonite
and Bentonite clays
belong to the Smectite
family, which is characterized by its expandable properties; however, Montmorillonite
is purer, more complex clay with greater exchange capacities. Its
ability to adsorb and absorb toxins makes it the most preferred species
of edible clay. Clay

I Thank-you
for all of the great information you provide on your site, especially the
information on clay. I had always wondered why my mare was digging holes
and eating moouthfuls of dirt. I new there was a mineral deficiency in
her diet, but what she was also telling me was she was trying to detox.
The clay has supplied the answer to both. My mare gets the best quality
hay, whole foods as well as flax, algae etc. But
her diet, as with mine falls short because of our top soil.(To bad the
price doesn't fall short as well).I have also noticed a sence of well being,
that is starting to return. The day I received my clay one of the mares
in the barn had her leg blow up for no apparent reason the Vet. could offer
nothing. This mares back leg was four times the normal size, I have never
seen this before, and I had a bad feeling in my stomach. I got some clay
in a bucket, mixed with water and poulticed her leg from top to bottom,
the instant the clay touched her leg she dropped her head and started licking
her lips, by morning the inflamation had been reduced to half. I started
the clay in her food, and she started to "pick up". I know in my heart
that the clay saved her life. I am so gratefull
that the day I was faced with this I had something to offer!!! Warmest

Uses of Clay Today
No material extracted from the earth is put to a wider variety of uses
than clay, and no material except flint has been used longer. Clays
differ widely in their effectiveness. The red montmorillonite clay of the
smectite group remains an effective favorite for human use, because it
has been hydro-thermally altered and seasoned in the arid desert.
Using clay for healing is a profound experience. Applying cooled or
warmed clay locally on external body tissue has a cleansing, and healing
effect. Inflammation and pain soon diminish with clay applications. Toxicity
is never evident when using the living clay either internally or externally.
The internal use of clay for ulcerated or irritated conditions of the stomach,
bowels, colon or bladder can give noticeable relief. Over-acidity in the
tissue of these organs can be corrected with the use of clay.
Diets generally are lacking essential trace minerals and micronutrients.
When living clay is used with foods and exposed to gastric juices, the
nutritional benefits of the clay’s trace minerals are accentuated. Living
clays have an abundance of negatively charged ions. As a molecular constituent
carries an electrical charge, it creates movement and interchange of positively
charged ions. This phenomena is essential to all metabolic processes in
the human body.
Applications (according to research and the manufacturer's
instructions)
Facial Pack: Moisten
clay to a smooth paste (using approximately 50% water) and spread evenly
over entire face; let dry twenty minutes, then remove with warm water.
Follow with moisture cream.
Acne, Pimples: Use
facial pack daily; take 1 tsp. powdered clay or eight tablets internally
each day.
Skin Condition:
Make paste with water and cover affected area. Excellent for warts, athletes
foot, yeast fungus, jock itch, ringworm, sunburns, scalp, pimples, cuts,
staph around fingernails, boils, poison ivy, cold sores, canker sores,
and shingles.
Internal Uses:
Colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, or any abnormal condition
of the alimentary canal responds well to the use of clay internally.
Surgery: The
use of clay internally before and after surgery gives remarkable benefits.
Allergy: It has
been observed some food allergies were benefited by clay. Experiment by
using the clay with the known food allergen. Then eat the food allergen,
omitting the clay, and observe the response.

TerraPond is an
all-natural product that is recognized by most Koi breeders as the foremost
product to introduce minerals and nutrients to your precious Koi. This
introduction can be done through your pond water as the Koi will absorb
the minerals and nutrients through their skin ( TerraPond dissolves to
micro fine size particles), through their gills, as well as ingesting directly
by eating the TerraPond. This results in your fish achieving their true
potential. Additionally, TerraPond performs wonders by purifying,
clarifying and treating your water.
TerraPond is the purest form of Calcium Montmorillonite clay in the
world. It is mined from a unique deposit in the United States. This rare
deposit was formed millions of years ago when the Colorado River carried
these minerals from the Rocky Mountains to the present day site of California
Earth Minerals mining operations.
TerraPond improves your Koi's immune system through nutrition and detoxification.
It helps by eliminating waste products, bacteria and decomposed organic
matter in the water. When these particulates are absorbed and safely removed,
it results in healthy fish and clear pond water.
TerraPond is also a powerful and effective treatment for water gardens,
golf course waterways, lakes and ponds where clarity and purity is an important
environmental concern. It offsets the effects of Chlorine chemical fertilizers,
pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, heavy metals and toxic substances potentially
harmful to local water supplies.
TerraPond -- in both powdered and premium hand selected rock forms --
works its wonders through a natural magnetic process. All toxins and decomposed
organic materials in nature are positively charged. The magnetic attraction
immediately begins when negatively charged TerraPond is introduced into
your pond water and begins the micro-encapsulation process. This electrical
ion exchange process is also referred to as "flocculation."
As a result, the electrically bonded particles are larger in size and
weight. In Koi ponds, this increased mass then becomes filterable in most
bio filter systems. In natural ponds (non-filtered) or larger lake environments
(where the recommended application of TerraPond is in powdered form), these
enlarged and heavier particles sink to the pond floor and safely decompose.
This process is very similar to leaves dropping in the forest and decomposing/composting
over time.
According to Japanese Koi breeders, natural clay-lined ponds provide
the very best Koi environment. Clay provides better health, conformation,
vitality, coloration, stronger immune systems, improved digestion and longer
life. As a Koi hobbyist, when your clay choice is TerraPond, your fish
will enjoy the very best environment you can provide.
When TerraPond, in its natural rock form is first introduced into your
Koi pond, you can look forward to some interesting and enjoyable results.
When the rock enters the water, it begins to bubble and slowly "melt."
Some clouding then occurs. The clouding and bubbles will provoke your fishes'
interest and curiosity.
The boldest fish may approach the rock and begin to swim through the
cloud. It may also nibble at the rock as it melts. Your fish are ingesting
nutrients through this activity. Little by little, other fish will want
to join in on this new game.
Once the fish have had this experience, they learn to look forward to
a TerraPond rock treat. Very much like a pet treat, Koi seem to enjoy the
experience of playing and nibbling at the substance. As a result of this
Koi play activity, your fish will receive the highest form of nutrients
through direct ingestion.
TerraPond is an edible, organic clay compound that when eaten, delivers
nutrients and trace elements that benefit the health, vitality, longevity
and appearance of your fish. It is a rare and pure form of Calcium Montmorillonite
(Bentonite). TerraPond was formed millions of years ago, when glacial melt
carved through today's Rocky Mountains in the western U.S. Favorable properties,
brought boiling water to the surface of the earth creating extensive pools
of bubbling mud. These bubbling pools churn the calcium montmorillonite
adding beneficial natural minerals.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,

TerraPond is an
all-natural product that is recognized by most Koi breeders as the foremost
product to introduce minerals and nutrients to your precious Koi. This
introduction can be done through your pond water as the Koi will absorb
the minerals and nutrients through their skin ( TerraPond dissolves to
micro fine size particles), through their gills, as well as ingesting directly
by eating the TerraPond. This results in your fish achieving their true
potential. Additionally, TerraPond performs wonders by purifying,
clarifying and treating your water.
