Today's guest post is brought to you by Jeff (aka Clay Man.) Today he shares about the benefits of taking bentonite clay internally. And also shares about a yearly annoyance that he attempted to take care of with conventional medicine and then finally discovered the miracles of clay.
I'll let him take it from here.

Bentonite clay is a Miracle Cleansing
Food.
You can buy in the store in a small
bottle called, “Detox” and pay a lot of money for it, OR you can
follow the instructions below to make your own Miracle Cleansing
Food.
First let me tell you what it's good
for.
Taken Internally it draws out:
-Toxins
-Pathogens, like Giardia and
Cryptosporidium etc.
(In a study from Arizona State University,
bentonite
clay was found to be highly effective at killing MRSA (those
nasty antibiotic resistant bacteria that make every procedure done in
hospitals these days, life threatening) as well as taking care of
Salmonella, E.Coli etc. )
-Viruses
-Herbicides
-Heavy Metals
-Radioactive substances
It also gets extra Oxygen to the cells
and pulls out excess Hydrogen.
It has an alkalizing effect and helps
maintain beneficial gut flora.
It's also chock full of good minerals
for the body.
Pretty amazing, and it doesn't mess you
up in the long run like the things the Doctor will give you to deal
with these little nasties.
You can also smear it on your skin and
it does the same thing, pulling out toxins.
Taryn probably has a link to show you
that, we're about due for our annual “Clay Day”.
It's great for stings and blemishes
etc.
Part of how it does all this is
basically magnetically.
It has a strong Negative charge...and
all those nasty things have a positive charge, so it literally sucks
em in and because it has a very porous structure it holds on to em,
and carries em out of your body.
I'll tell you a little personal story.
Almost every year for more than 20 years now I get an annual visit
from the Screaming Meanies. Some kind of Pathogen . This cleans me
out and allows me to spend way too much time in the bathroom. I've
been tested for parasites etc and more often than not they don't see
anything so I once had to go to California, where they saw
Cryptosporidian that the local folks didn't see. In fact locally
they never saw anything but I told them to humor me and give me anti
Cryptosporidian medicine, which always cured it in a couple
days...otherwise it could last a month or more... Bummer.
But the problem with that medicine was
that it killed all the good gut flora. Just perpetuating the
problem, and many others. And these days with all of the stuff in
water, food and antibiotics etc. most folks have a messed up gut
environment with too may pathogenic bacteria, fungi etc.. and a major
lack of the good stuff which is the center for a persons health....
In fact this messed up gut environment is at the center of Autism
spectrum disorders and Heart Disease and arthritis...(actually most
of the inflammatory diseases.) Taryn may have a link to where she
has spoken about this and the GAPS diet which is designed to return
the gut to a healthy state, and cures Autism spectrum disorders and
all the other stuff I mentioned.
So I looked for a healthy alternative
to the gut flora destroying stuff the Pharmaceutical Sales
Representatives in White Coats (Doctors) will always prescribe, that
wouldn't have negative repercussions in the long run.
And discovered Bentonite clay.
It usually works in a couple of days.
The Indians and indigenous folks
figured it out by observing sick animals that would drink from pools
of water in clay deposits.
I read somewhere that some Indigenous
folks would carry clay pellets with them just in case they might need
the benefits of the clay at some point.
The old Diarrhea standby, Kaopectate,
was made from Kaolin clay and Pectin.
To work it has to be soaked in water
for awhile, you can't just eat the powder and dissolving it in water
imbues the water with it's negatively charged properties.
But here's the thing, you can't just
stir some clay into a cup of water...NOPE, all you'll get is a big
gross glob of clay that's no fun to ingest.
So what you have to do is fill a
blender or really fast food processor with some preferably filtered
or distilled water, then turn it on and scoop in some spoons of the
clay. It greatly expands so take it slowly. Now what you are
looking for is for it to still be liquid, just right before it
becomes kinda like a thick jello. You want to be able to pour it
easily, otherwise you get that blob problem.
Then put it in a little jar and keep it
in the refrigerator.
Then when you want to take some you mix
a teaspoon or two into a tall glass of water. Stir it up really
good and let it sit a bit if you can, this expands the electrical
charge into the water .
And drink er down.
Yummy....
Don't do massive amounts, after all
it's clay and my first introduction to it was when I worked at a mill
and the large Mill Pond up the mountain where we got our water from
just kept draining out a hole and going who knows where. It was very
strange, just like someone pulled the plug on a bath tub. I tried
dumping loads of rock and dirt in there but it didn't do a thing.
Finally we got a truckload of Bentonite and dumped it in the hole, it
went down in a greatly expanded and was pretty much water
impermeable.
That solved the problem.... but we
don't want to do that to our intestines. A large teaspoon in a tall
glass of water....maybe a tad more will do the trick. You can take
it every day and it won't hurt you, you'll get good minerals and your
guts cleaned out...
You can get the powdered clay really
cheap at Mountain Rose Herbs, Taryn has a link on the right side of
her blog that'll take you there.
Happy Cleansing
