Just like the doctor who poisoned your baby into autism sounded really convinced vaccinations were good for him? Just like incompetent detox doctors sound really convinced that the timing of chelator dosing doesn't matter? > I am more interested in what you have to say about it. > > 20 years ago my husband made an air purifier and he used a bag of zeolite as the filter medium. Yes, it will absorb all kinds of vapors from air. Ammonia being one. It won't do that from aqueous solutions however. >We have no " studies " on it, but to us, it seemed to work well at absorbing toxins/smells. My husband was allergic to carbon filters and he was chemically sensitive and it worked better than carbon filters. Then, the bag of rock would get saturated, stop working, and we would have to bake it in the oven, or outside in the sun, then it would absorb smells/toxins again. Yes. That is usually referred to by geeks as 'regenerating' it. You are heating it up so the ick evaporates someplace it can go away instead of go into your lungs, then letting it collect up more ick. >That was our experience. We were impressed with it as a medium for an air purifier. There seems to be a lot of articles on Google about how zeolite absorbs ammonia in pig farms. From the air. > I have no idea if this is orally or topically applied and if this makes a difference in the body, cause like you pointed out, I am not a chemist. All I know is that ammonia causes inflammation and inflammation causes blindness for my little girl. So when someone, especially with a slick powerpoint presentation that sounded like it had a lot more substance in person than the notes I am now referring to, tells me that they have an ammonia mopper, that perks my ears up. Ammonia bad, mopper good. get it? Yes. Try ornithine alpha ketoglutarate, and also try reducing dietary protein levels. Depending on other things perhaps a small amount of manganese supplement too. > This reference below sounded so good, but then when I looked it up, it said that they added silver to the zeolite and thats why it worked so well. Yes, that would make it selective for ammonia. >Here we go again with the silver. You said that we should not use products with silver in them, so we don't. Also some people on the net said that zeolite contained aluminum...sigh, and oh so disturbing. The aluminum in the zeolite won't dissolve out to be absorbed into your system. Any silver deposited into it will.
