Zeolite was Re:fingernail vertical ridges and pitting

" Ummmm......... excuse me for being a chemist, but why would anyone think

zeolites would absorb ammonia under physiologically relevant conditions?

I don't know Andy, cause he sounded really really convincing when he said it

did? 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. 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. 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. 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?

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. 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.

ly now that I am home and looking at the references, it's kind of a bummer.

I guess if mercury, lead, or silver mopped up ammonia it would be kind of

pointless and futile to the ultimate goal. Also btw, they gave everyone a sample

of the ACZ nano Advanced Cellular Zeolite, and no where in the ingredients does

it say it contains silver, but in my opinion it must, given his major reference

given here from his speech.

This was one of Gordon's main references:
