For internal cleansing, we recommend a line of
high-quality calcium bentonite clay products called
Detox Clay Powder.
Detox Clay Powder is obtained from the last
remaining sub-surface mine in California (near Death
Valley). It is a rare desert healing clay that has
been protected from leaching by the climate. This
clay deposit was sealed away and isolated from the
natural elements by a cap of zeolite minerals for
forty-three million years. Because its adsorptive
properties have not been compromised by air or
groundwater contaminants, this highly charged, 100% pure,
350 screen mesh Calcium Bentonite Clay has drawing power
that is unsurpassed by any other known clay. Its
extremely strong adsorptive and absorptive properties
make it ideal for use in deep cleansing and clarifying of
the skin, applications for skin conditions, rashes, burns,
and other external injuries, as well as total body
detoxification. You can't buy purer or more potent
healing clay from any other source in the world.
The pH of Detox Clay Powder is 9.7, and thus it
acts as an alkalizing agent in the body. The pH
scale goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
Below 7 is acid, and above 7 is alkaline. The
body's pH level plays a critical role in its ability to
remain healthy and resist disease. Tissues in the
body that are poorly oxygenated, or devoid of oxygen, are
acidic and prone to disease. Cancerous tissues are
acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Blood,
lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are
designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4. At
a pH level of 7.4, cancer cells become dormant, and at pH
8.5, cancer cells will die while healthy cells will
live. Since most disease occurs when pH falls into
the acid range, it is essential to alkalize the body to a
pH of 7.4 or slightly above by every means available.
Bentonite's minute molecular particle size is related
to the number of minerals comprising its molecule.
The smaller the number of minerals in its molecule, the
greater is the adsorptive power of the clay.
Detox Clay Powder is pure Calcium Bentonite Clay
and is comprised of only 17 minerals in its molecular
structure. Other clays contain as many as
73. This gives it unparalleled adsorptive
properties as compared to other Calcium Bentonite
clays.
How Healing Clay Works – Adsorption and Absorption
The two words are similar, but their differences are
fundamental to understanding how clay minerals function
and how healing clay works. Adsorption describes
the process by which the charged particles of other
substances combine with the charged particles on the
outer surface of the clay molecule. First, imagine
the structure of the clay molecule to be similar to a
stack of business cards with spaces in between the
cards. The clay molecule has unsatisfied ionic
bonds around its edges and naturally seeks to satisfy
those bonds. For this to happen, it must come into
contact with a molecule of another substance with
unsatisfied bonds that carry an opposite electrical
(ionic) charge. When the two molecules meet, the
ions held on the outer surface of the clay molecule are
exchanged with the ions held on the outside surface of
the molecule of the other substance.
Clay molecules carry a negative electrical charge,
while toxins, bacteria, and other impurities carry a
positive charge. When the clay is taken into the
human body, the positively charged toxins are attracted
to the negatively charged surfaces of the clay
molecule. An exchange reaction occurs, in which
the clay mineral ions are swapped for the ions of the
toxic substance. The clay molecule is now
electrically satisfied and holds onto the toxin until the
body can eliminate both.
Absorption is a slower and more complex
process. Acting like a sponge, the clay molecule
draws other substances into its internal
structure. Absorption can only occur when the
foreign substance has undergone a chemical change and is
then allowed to enter the clay's molecular inner
structure. Once the foreign substance has
undergone the chemical change, it enters into the spaces
between the clay's inner structures. The toxins
that were formerly only sticking to the surface of the
clay's outer structure through ionic bonding are now
pulled inside the clay molecule. This is the
primary reason why absorptive clays are labeled as
mobile-layered or expandable clays. The more
substances that are pulled into the clay's inner
structure, the more the clay expands and its layers
swell.
All absorbent clays have a charge on their inner
layers. This means that charged ions sit between
the layers of the clay molecule surrounded by water
molecules. The clay expands as foreign substances
are absorbed and fill the spaces between the clay
molecule's stacked layers. Absorbent clay will
absorb positively charged toxins and impurities and
ignore negatively charged nutrients.
Our clay is 100% pure Calcium Bentonite Clay and is
edible. It can be applied externally (topically) or
dissolved in water and taken internally. Clay has
many beneficial effects. It eliminates unhealthy
positively charged cells and promotes the building of
healthy ones. It also cleanses the system by
eliminating all positively charged toxins, bacteria, and
other unhealthy noxious substances.
To sum it all up, Detox Clay Powder supplies the
best, purest, most effective healing clay available
today.
Suggestions for use: For internal use, mix 2
tablespoons of dry powder per 8 oz. of water.
Allow the mixture to stand overnight before drinking it,
so that the
clay will be fully hydrated before it is taken into the
body. To make a drawing poultice that can be used
externally on the skin, mix dry powder with water until
a paste of desired consistency is formed. Can be used
in a warm bath as well (about one-half cup in the bath
water).
Contents: 1 pound (454 gm) dry powder clay, in
a plastic jar.
