Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I recently read, though I'm not sure where, that bentonite clay is usually loaded with heavy metals. I don't know if there's any truth to that as I didn't see any reasoning given for the assertion, but something to look in to further if you choose to go that route.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 When you buy you clay, whatever brand or kind just look for a chemical analysis. Most clays are benign and actually absorb and bind circulating heavy metals, mold toxins and other pollutants such as pesticides out of the body. On the other hand, I wouldn't necessarily want to consume a clay from a toxic region or era in geological time. I use montmorillinite clay primarily because it's said to be 1000X as absorptive than bentonite because if it's larger surface area. You can see the chemical assay of Desert Dynamin at Jerry Brunetti's website, www.agri-dynamics.com. While sold primarily for livestock, I have repackaged it for use by people who are detoxifying. Dairy cattle get 2-4 oz daily, all the way down for hogs, sheep, goats, chickens and rabbits. I add this clay to all my raw dog and cat food. This is an ionized clay, that is from volcanic activity not sedimentary clay. This clay is also inexpensive, costing less than $20 for a 50# bag. There are books written on the value of edible clay. I think the word will get out and the use of it will take off. Will Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Will, Did you used to sell clay at the warehouse? I have a plastic jar with a black lid that contains some light brown powdery stuff. It looks like the containers that you used to use for packaging sea salt. If you did, and it IS your clay, would it be the montmorillinite kind? Usually, I'm pretty good about labeling things (for this very reason), but not THIS time! I don't know if the label came off or if I was just confident that I would remember what it was...
