Simple Clay Bath

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with heavy metal and chemical poisoning.

Among the many toxic substances in my body, mercury from the fillings in my

teeth was a major culprit. It was recommended that I have all the fillings

replaced--a major undertaking!

After undergoing live cell/dry cell analysis, I was told I needed a minimum

of twenty chelation treatments (a drip-intravenous therapy). At $1000 a

session, (much more expensive today) that meant an additional $20,000! To

confirm the diagnosis, I had a frozen sample of my blood sent to a special

laboratory in Colorado. The lab analysis showed an alarming variety of

poisons in my body including Dioxin, Mercury, Aluminum, Cadmium, Arsenic,

Lead, Chlorine and Copper. On a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the most toxic),

seven elements registered 7 or more. Where, you might ask, did all those

chemicals come from?

DIOXIN: one of the deadliest substances known, is sprayed on coffee and

vegetable fields in Costa Rica where I had visited for several months.

Dioxin is also found in many lawn fertilizers.

MERCURY: besides leaking from tooth fillings, is also found in fish,

cosmetics, soil, pesticides, film (photos and negatives), paint and

plastics.

ALUMINUM is used in soft-drink cans, cookware, cheeses, white flour, baking

powder and deodorants.

CADMIUM is contained in cigarette smoke, coffee, gasoline, steel cooking

pans and metal pipes.

ARSENIC may be present in coffee, some types of rice, salt and smog

(industrial pollution).

LEAD is found in dyes, gasoline, paint, plumbing, pottery, insecticides,

tobacco smoke, textiles and scrap metal.

CARBON MONOXIDE: of course, comes from auto exhaust, cigarette smoke and

smog.

A number of these chemicals may also be found in our water. In other words:

All of us are exposed to countless chemicals and metals every day of our

lives!

There are over 70,000 chemicals being used in commercial production in the

U.S.--65,000 of them classified by the Environmental Protection Agency as

potentially or definitely hazardous to human health, according to R.

Schechter, N.D., author of Fighting with Foods, Herbs & Vitamins. And new

chemicals, he noted, were being tested in the U.S. at the rate of more than

6,000 per week!

In the words of medical researcher Alan Levine, M.D., " The vast increase of

chemicals in our environment, foods and medicines has greatly altered the

body's ability to rid itself of toxins. "

The Search for Alternatives

Having neither health insurance nor the money to pay for these expensive

treatments, I began searching for alternative ways to eliminate these

poisons--a major cause of immune system breakdown--and thus, the source of

various diseases.

I learned that certain toxic elements could be removed by taking specific

combinations of minerals and vitamins. For example, a daily regimen of six

magnesium oxide tablets plus one teaspoon of calcium/magnesium powder taken

with fresh lemon or grapefruit juice was said to rid one's body of

arsenic--eventually. But at this rate, it could take years to clear all the

chemicals and metals from my body.

Eventually, my search led me to a book, Using Energy to Heal, by Wendell

Hoffman. Through his own research, Hoffman found that a special bentonite (a

very fine volcanic clay) used in a bath can actually draw out toxic

chemicals through the pores of the skin. After many experiments, he

concluded that optimum results are obtained by immersing oneself in a tub of

very warm water mixed with a special bentonite clay for exactly 20 minutes!

(For healthy individuals.) No more, no less!

On impulse, I bought some of this special bentonite clay. One pound was used

to make a mudpack for my head (held together with a plastic cup). The rest w

ent into the bath.

After soaking in the tub for 20 minutes and showering to rinse off the clay,

I felt exhausted and lay down to rest, leaving the clay mess to be cleaned

up later.

A Black, Sticky Substance

When I returned hours later, the clay had settled to the bottom. Trying to

avoid damaging the plumbing, I skimmed off the clear water and poured it

down the sink, then scooped the remaining water/clay solution and carried it

outside. I was astonished to find that the solid clay remaining in the

bottom of the tub had turned from a light-tan/grey color into a black,

sticky, tar-like substance. Wearing rubber gloves, I wrapped the toxic clay

in crumpled newspaper and a heavy-duty garbage bag.

Amazed, I began sharing my experience with friends. One woman, also a victim

of mercury poisoning, bought enough clay for her entire family. The residue

from her four teenaged boys' bath was the normal color. Her husband's,

however, left a dark-colored sediment. And my friend's results were like

mine--black, sticky 'stuff.' (The clay has a particular affinity for

mercury.)

Another friend suffering from mercury poisoning also took the clay bath, but

forgot to wear rubber gloves when she cleaned up afterward--and got a

chemical burn on her hand as she scooped up the clay.

Curious, I sent off a sample of my hair for analysis. The results showed no

chemicals or metals present, other than a small amount of aluminum. About

five months later, I took another clay bath. The clay came out the normal

color, with only a few black flecks in it. I knew without a doubt that the

magical clay had done its work, saving my health and thousands of dollars.

Magical Clay

" Clay has been used for thousands of years, and yet no one has been able to

pin down what makes it a healer, " observes Abehera, author of

Amazing Cures from the Earth Itself--The Healing Clay. Most users, he notes,

seem content with the amazing results. But various observers offer differing

perspectives on how clay works.

Dextreit, the French naturopath who popularized the clay cure in his

own country, believes bentonite's powers transcend its purely

three-dimensional physical properties. " From a thermodynamic point of view,

clay cannot be the sole source of energy of the phenomenon it produces. Clay

is a dynamic presence, a catalyst rather than an agent itself. This is

possible because clay is alive. "

Most of the poisons in the body Dextreit notes are positively charged,

whereas clay has a negative electrical attraction. " These toxins cannot

resist being drawn toward the clay. "

T. , a mineralogist at MIT, points to bentonite's minute

particles, which create a large surface area in proportion to the volume

used. " The greater the surface area, the greater the power to pick up

positively charged particles or toxins. "

However one explains it, this natural earth remedy is a quick and

inexpensive way to " pull " those toxic substances out of the body.

Nevertheless, there are simple, but important instructions that must be

followed before and after the bath. It is also crucial to use " clean clay. "

We have tried numerous clays on the market and have found they have varied

in results and uses. Most industrial clays (even many at the health food

stores) contain chemical emulsifiers, defeating the whole purpose of the

bath. So, please be selective in your choice of clay.
