Re: To Bee Re: Dietary Fibre

[Guest guest]

I have wondered about this myself. Dr. Schulze is big on these

psyllium-bentonite treatments that are supposed to remove things from the

diverticula, etc. He even has a photo of something that was supposedly

removed from someone's colon.

I asked the doctor questions before and after I had a colonoscopy a couple

years ago. He told me the insides of the colon looked clean and pink

after the " prep " had been done properly, with no signs of fecal matter on

the walls. I wanted to see a video of mine, but they don't tape them. :-)

So who's right? I don't know.

At my job we do use bentonite to seal off boreholes drilled hundreds of

feet deep into rock, coal, etc. So it does have uses! :-]

My massage therapist has a book on colon where it

shows DISGUSTING pictures of what came out after a

cleanse (hydrotherapy or something). I don't know if

bentonite is like psyllium and was thinking of trying

some myself some day. They didn't tell me if what my

intestines looked like other than I had

diverticulitis. I was SO DRUGGED that was all I heard

and the paper work didn't say any more. All

interesting stuff. I was constipated severely from

birth till 20 years ago when the IBS (now known as

gluten intolerance/ candida???) kicked in. Since then

I've tried different things like whole foods diet,

aloe vera juice etc and have gotten much better but I

still don't think I'm normal (whatever that is LOL).

Hugs, Carol B (bentonite deep in the rocks? That is

SO FUNNY!)

Bentonite is a type of clay. It readily absorbs water and swells when it

does so. That's one of its values to geologists and associated people -

you can put the very dry clay in a borehole or small shaft and add water,

and it swells and seals the hole.

As it's used for colon treatment, it's very diluted in water. I've never

tried it, so I don't know what it tastes like. It probably tastes just

like clay!

Hi Zack. I knew it was a clay. I was wondering about

it's affects on the body and whether or not I would

have the same reactions as with psllyum. There is

another anticandida site where he recommends liver

detoxing and parasite cleansing before going on the

diet. He uses some form of bentonite in the process

but I don't remember much about it. I could find it if

anyone was interested. Hugs, Carol B
