Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Thanks, Allan! I'll look up Summa. Why do you like it better than azomite and where do you get it?

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I use it, and add it to an activated EM supplement I make.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 >Allan, what should be done with that grit which settles out - try to >drink or toss it? I had not seen the distinction you mentioned >before. Thanks ---Carol You can toss it. I don't have a deep understanding of 'why' to toss it, except that's what my practitioner told me to do. In the Reams ag work, though, we do a similar thing with rock phosphate for foliar applications. The stuff that 'floats' is the stuff that's 'available.' For a human, with kidneys and a liver and ??, I assume there are good reasons to NOT increase one's intake of small, non-available 'grit,' no matter the mineral content. BTW - there's also a lot to be said for getting these minerals from the vegetables and fruit you eat instead of getting them from rock itself. Minerals that have been incorporated into plant flesh are even more available (I would assume) than that 'dust of the dust' that floats from the rock dust. -Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Sharon- >Does anyone have any experience or opinions on Azomite mineral powder? I find that it makes a great wound plaster. As a dietary supplement... I'm rather dubious. I think it would be much more effective applied to soil and eaten via plants and animals. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much, Sharon Below are some posts I retrieved from another thread/list. -- " The stone age ended, but not because of any lack or stones. Undoubtedly the oil age will end the same way. " Sheik Yamani, one time oil minister to Saudi Arabia ###### Noticed that you are using azomite. Thought that you might be interested in our review of that product. We considered it as a possible component of our fertilizers and rejected it. Basically, it is a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate. In plain English that is a sand with high sodium, calcium, and alumina components. It will pass right through your body with little left behind. If you are trying to add trace minerals to your diet you would be better served by finding a high grade of bee pollen from some remote area. These pollens are rich in trace minerals and have an advantage of being already chelated by the bees. Most ground powders transfer poorly in the body. In the soil they have to be chelated by a weak acid before they can be used by a plant. ###### Do you really think human bodies are set up to digest and utiltize rock dust nutritionally? As I understand it, plants eat sun and soil, and animals eat plants. Some people on this list seem to be saying that even plants can't eat soil. They are fed by the microorganisms in the soil that eat the soil. I guess that raises the possibililty that human gut flora can digest some of that stuff and feed it to us, I suppose, but wouldn't something like seaweed be a more reliable and efficient source of ingesting trace minerals? ###### I don't think this will hurt a thing in the human body but it is not very efficient in its assimilation in the body. The reason for this is minerals need to be combined with sugars to be absorbed. When people consume low-brix foods they are consuming low sugar foods and they don't have enough carbohydrates to utilize rock minerals. That is why the mineral box for cattle can never replace high-sugar forages. I have heard reports of powdered rock assisting in good bowel function. A preferred method is to use Azomite on the garden soil and get the minerals back in a chelated form. ###### Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sharon- >That is my intuition as well. Though I prefer Redmond Clay for wound >plastering... I think I might just have some Redmond Clay lying around, amazingly enough. What sort of benefits do you notice from using it instead of azomite? Should I cut myself badly in two places and try a proper experiment? <g> - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it on cuts - it is messy but stops all throbbing and prevents any inflammation/infection. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
