Heidi, I'm very interested in the benefits of clay, but could you explain how it helped his gut problems? was it reflux he had? (am asking b/c someone near and dear to me has bad gut problems--reflux and more) Thank you for the links, I will check them out, Dahlia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it WOULD irritate the gut if they were big pieces, but the clay is so fine that it's just kind of slippery. So far the consensus is that it is highly NOT-irritating. >Anyway, a few months ago I recently had all my mercury amalgams removed >(quite safely!) and am eating things like wheat grass juice to help get any >residual metals out of my system.

It IS supposed to be effective against heavy metals, and is used for folks who have ingested lead (it's used industrially for this too). Wheat grass juice ... ack, choke! Of course I can't get into that one. The only danger I see in combining it with medicines is that it might keep the medicines from getting absorbed. So I'd take the clay NOT when you are taking the medicine. Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on Nexium for reflux, so he had that, and he'd had his prostate removed. After the surgery he started having " gut problems " and it seems that anything " rough " (with any fiber) caused him to go into spasms. A kind of IBS maybe? Gut problems can be caused by a lot of different things ... I tend to think food allergies are way up on the list, and all the weird food we eat in our culture (high fructose stuff, preservatives), lack of probiotics, infections with bad bacteria. The thing is, the clay seems to be effective for all of the above. So while it doesn't solve the original problem it seems to fix the symptoms. I think people SHOULD change their diets, but sometimes that isn't enough, it doesn't repair the damage that's already done. Also, there is the " native nutrition " angle ... humans have eaten clay for a long time, maybe it's something we need ...

I don't usually drink the stuff but I thought the high chlorophyll content would help clean out metal in my system now that I have all my mercury amalgams out. I thought that since wheat grass was at least a whole food, it might be preferable to chlorella which is what the Mercola site recommends.. My plan was to wait until I finish the awful parasite medicine (wormwood, black walnut, cloves...) and then try the clay to help get the medicine out. Maybe metals too.. good! ~Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well chlorophyll I like, esp. in a big bowl of tabbouleh. Chop a mess of parsley, toss it with cooked quinua, crushed garlic, lemon juice, olive oil. Ummmm ...

Hi Heidi thanks for that information on pascalite. I think I will try some for the overall digestive benefits and also because I'm going to have some of my amalgams removed in 2 weeks.
