The Reserach and Healing Properties of Clay

A smectite montmorillonite clay that transforms
several kinds of bacteria is at the forefront
of new research into age-old, nearly forgotten,
but surprisingly potent cures. Among the malevolent
bacteria that this French montmorillonite clay has
been shown to transform this so-called "flesh-eating"
mircroform (M. ulcerans) on the rise in Africa and
the microform called MRSA, which unfortunately was
blamed for the recent deaths of two children in
Virginia and Mississippi. (Bacteria does not cause
disease - it is the evidence of transforming matter
caused by an over-acidic environment. According
to Dr. Young, acids from diet and metabolism cause
dis-ease and disease.)

"There are very compelling reports of clay treating
infections, but that's anecdotal evidence, not science,"
said Lynda Williams, an associate research professor
in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at
Arizona State University, Tempe. Williams is
coordinating three teams of U.S. researchers
(at ASU, USGS, and SUNY-Buffalo) studying healing
clays under a two-year, $440,000 grant from the
National Institutes of Health-National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Her ASU
colleague Shelley Haydel is lending her expertise
in clinical medicine to perform the microbiological
research.

For thousands of years, people have used clay to
heal wounds, soothe indigestion, and eradicate
intestinal worms. Though the practice has
declined in modern times, the recent rise of
acidic drugs that cannot transform germs has
scientists looking more closely at these ancient
remedies to learn exactly what they can do and
how they do it.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Center, states, "smectite
montmorillonite clay has the ability to neutralize
acids from diet and metabolism which protects the
body from cells transforming into bacteria, yeast
or mold. The beautiful thing about clay is that it
can adsorb and then absorb toxins or acids 100 times
it own mass."

In laboratory tests at ASU's Biodesign Institute,
co-PI Haydel, an assistant professor in the School
of Life Sciences, showed that one clay transforms
bacteria associated with many human illnesses,
including: Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant
S. aureus (MRSA), penicillin-resistant S. aureus (PRSA),
and pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli).

This special smectite montmorillonite clay also
transforms Mycobacterium ulcerans, a microform
related to leprosy and tuberculosis that is present
when metabolic and dietary acids start breaking down
the flesh in a condition current medical savants
refer to as flesh-eating disease Buruli ulcer.

This effect was first described in 2002, by Line
Brunet de Courssou, a French humanitarian working
in the Ivory Coast, Africa, who cured Buruli ulcers
with daily applications of the acid buffering French
clay she knew from childhood.

‘In the beginning God gave to every people a cup
of clay; and, from this cup they drank their life’.

We have, long, heard of people eating clay known
as either ‘geophagy’ (pronounced…gee-off-uh-gee),
or, ‘pica’. Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary
defines geophagy as ‘a condition in which the
patient eats inedible substances such as chalk,
or earth’. And, it defines pica as ‘a perversion
of appetite with cravings for substances not fit
for food such as clay, ashes or plaster’.

This craving I perceive is not perverted at all;
but, makes sense when you know what clay contains
and what it does for the body. It has been credited
with improving the health of many people suffering
from a wide range of illnesses.

These include: constipation, diarrhea, anemia,
chronic infections and ‘outfections’, skin ailments
(such as eczema and acne), heavy-metal poisoning,
exposure to pesticides (and other, acidic, toxins),
arthritis, acid reflux, infertility, liver disease
and obesity. It is the ‘secret ingredient’ in the
treatment of hair-loss and diabetes,
(both Type I and Type II)!

Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals,
including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium,
manganese, sodium and silica -- all alkalizing to
the blood and tissues and foundational in the
production of other elements through nuclear
transformations or biological transformations.
The minerals in this very special clay exist in
natural proportion to one another. This encourages
their absorption by the intestinal villi. The body
can tolerate a deficiency of vitamins for a longer
period of time than a deficiency of minerals. A
slight change in the blood concentration of
important minerals can rapidly endanger life!

In a clay mineral the elements of oxygen, silica,
and potassium are spheres arranged in a regular
three-dimensional pattern. The spheres are the
building-blocks of the clay minerals; and, the
arrangement of the spheres determines the type
of mineral. The character of the clay mineral
group determines the type of clay and its eventual
use. In other words, the clay mineral structure
gives an understanding of its specific properties.

Among the clays suitable for eating, is
Montmorillonite, the most common and the most
sought-after. Montmorillonite clay was named
after the town of Montmorillon, France where
it was first identified. The mineral clay belongs
to a group of clays known as smectite, a word that
describes its layered structure.

The smectites are one of seven clay mineral groups.
Each group contains a certain number of species
and variations on the layered structure. The clay
that I recommend is structured in a single silica
tetrahedron and is the main building-block of
Montmorillonite clay and the best clay for eating.

Montmorillonite Clay is an old Home-Remedy that
people have used since the beginning of time for
various reasons. And it is my personal belief
that Montmorillonite Clay was possibly the Manna
that was given to the children of Israel by God
as they wandered through the wilderness for 40
years.

Its origins are as simple and basic as the old
practice of putting mud on a bee sting. Montmorillonite
Clay comes from deposits near Montmorillon, France.
Geologically speaking, Montmorillonite Clay is a
volcanic ash which was deposited in sea water.
By modern definition it is a swelling-type clay in
its ‘natural’ state with no additives, chemicals
or preservatives. The only processing it undergoes
is crushing.

What Makes Montmorillonite Clay So Special?

The Montmorillonite Clay minerals occur in very
small or colloidal particles. They are extremely
fine-grained and thin-layered…more so than any of
the other clay minerals. The layers contain ions
that are very loosely, bound to one another…and,
easily exchangeable. Not only will acidic toxins
stick to its outside surface; but, numerous toxic
elements and organic matter will enter the space
between the layers.

In addition to its already unique structure,
Montmorillonite clay has a particularly large
surface area when properly hydrated with distilled
water…which further boosts its adsorptive and
absorptive properties.

These two words look alike but their difference
is critical in understanding the functions of
Montmorillonite Clay minerals. Adsorption
characterizes the process by which substances
stick to the outside surface of the adsorbent
medium. The clay possesses unsatisfied ionic bonds
around the edges of its mineral particles. It
naturally seeks to satisfy those bonds. For this
to happen it must meet with a substance carrying
an opposite electrical or ionic charge. When this
occurs, the ions held around the outside structural
units of the adsorbent medium and the substance
are exchanged. The particles of Montmorillonite
clay carry a negative, electrical charge; whereas,
impurities or toxins carry a positive electrical
charge. For this very reason Montmorillonite clay
has been used to adsorb the colloidal impurities
(alcohol and other exotoxins and mycotoxins) in
beer, wine, liquor, and cider. The impurities in
wine carry positive charges; and, can be chelated
or coagulated (bound together) and removed by
stirring a small amount of negatively-charged
Montmorillonite clay material into the wine or
beer. The clay particles attract the mycotoxins
or alcohol in the wine or beer and they settle
to the bottom of the bottle or glass together.

The process works the same in the human body.
When Montmorillonite clay is taken internally
the positively-charged exotoxins and mycotoxins
are attracted by the negatively-charged edges
of the clay mineral. An exchange reaction occurs;
whereby, the clay swaps its ions for those of
the other substance. Now electrically satisfied
it holds the acidic toxin in suspension until
the body can eliminate both. The term ‘active’
or ‘alive’ indicates the ionic exchange capacities
of a given clay mineral. The degree to which the
clay mineral ions become active determine its
classification as ‘alive’. Living bodies are
able to grow and change their form and function
by taking within themselves ‘lifeless’ material
of certain kinds; and, biologically transforming
it into a part of themselves. No dead body can
adsorb just as no dead battery can provide energy.
It is, physically impossible. That is why
Montmorillonite clay is such a powerful
substance.

IT IS ALIVE!!!!!

Chemically and structurally Montmorillonite clay
is shaped like a credit card with negative charges
on the flat surface and positive charges at the
edges. Therefore, the negative charge is many times
more powerful than the positive charge. One gram
of Montmorillonite clay has a surface area of 800
square meters. To give that some serious perspective
that's about ten football fields! The greater the
surface area of the clay the greater the power to
pick up positively-charged particles or acidic
toxins many times its own weight.If we go back to
our base physical components we can safely say that
we are built from multitudes of particles (from
dust you are and to dust you will return) held
together by electrical bonds. Electrical forces
are what hold atoms and molecules together. Chemical
bonds and reactions depend on the electrical forces.
Therefore, all chemical reactions are in essence
reorganization of electrical forces which continue
to be vital at body levels, i.e., tissues and
organs. When this is all taken into account a
living organism is shown to be an extremely
intricate electrical system.During sickness or
disease the vital life-force is weak and incapable
of supporting the body and its functions. In health
and fitness however the opposite occurs: the
life-force or ‘zeta potential’ is strong and able
to counteract sickness and disease (or, should I
say spoiling and rotting). What keeps the white
blood cells moving and doing their work of
clearing out toxins is the energy that feeds it,
the substance of life – the ‘zeta potential’.
The body will not run well; or, will at least
run with all sorts of mechanical problems when
there is no life-force energy or ‘zeta potential’
to support it.When Montmorillonite clay is consumed
its vital life-force or ‘zeta potential’ is released
into the physical body; and, mingles with the vital
life-force of the body creating a stronger, more
powerful energy in the host. Its, colloidal
particles are agents of stimulation and
transformation capable of withholding and
releasing energy at impulse. The natural
magnetic action transmits a remarkable power
to the organism and helps to rebuild vital
‘potential’ through the liberation of latent
energy. When it is in contact with the body
its very nature compels it to release its vital
force: the, vital force from which so many
plants and animals feed.Therefore, in order
to create health and true fitness the body
MUST BE STIMULATED and, stimulated by another
working energy like Montmorillonite clay!

When the white cells, the garbage collectors of
our body fluids do not function at their best
the Montmorillonite clay supports the body's
inner resources to awaken the stagnant energy
by binding exotoxins and mycotoxins. It also
supplies the body with the available magnetism
to run WELL! In this way the body's natural immune
system has an improved chance of restoring the
alkaline pH by removing morbid matter and acidic
toxins thereby maintaining health and fitness.

How is Montmorillonite clay Used Externally
in the Normal Old Home-Remedies?

The Montmorillonite clay has a consistency of
mustard and is ready to eat or it can be mixed
in water. Old-Timers would apply the gel/paste
directly to the skin for a drawing-effect as
in the case of a bee sting, mosquito bite, boil,
spider bite, stinging nettle, etc. If the clay
is not covered it will dry out; and, as it dries
you will feel it draw and pull. If you want a
tightening-effect as in the case of a facial
for acne, pimples, or minor cuts leave it on
until it is almost, but not totally dry. Then
remove with a warm wet washcloth and, splash
with warm water to remove all traces of the clay.
If you want an even more ‘cooling and soothing
effect’ such as for burns or scrapes and bruises;
cover the gel with a plastic covering or wet cloth
so that it won’t dry out. If users were not sure
which technique would suit their needs best they
often alternated between covered and uncovered
applications of the clay. Montmorillonite Clay
has been applied once or twice daily or even
left in place overnight, as desired.Other external
uses for the Montmorillonite clay have been as a
fine talcum powder or a diapering powder.

Instructions for using Earth Essence Montmorillonite
clay: There are many different ways of using the
Montmorillonite clay externally; but, most all start
out with the gel. Make the gel about the consistency
of mayonnaise or mustard by mixing 2 parts water
with 1 part Montmorillonite clay. Apply generously
in a ½ inch to ¾ inch layer directly onto the skin.
An alternative that allows for more mobility is to
apply the clay on a piece of ‘cheese cloth’; and,
fold the cloth as if making a ‘burrito’. Secure to
the skin with an ‘Ace’ bandage. After applying
there are several options:Uncovered: Some people
apply the Montmorillonite clay leaving it uncovered
allowing it to dry. As it dries it will ‘draw’ or
‘pull’. Remove before the clay is totally dry.

Covered with Cloth: Covering the Montmorillonite
clay with a cloth will secure it to the desired spot
and cause the clay to dry more slowly.

Doing this enables you to leave the clay in place
overnight or to be able to be mobile during the
day without the clay transferring to clothing and
household furniture. Wetting the cloth with water
will slow the drying rate and increase the ‘cooling
sensation’. Again remove the clay pack before it
is totally dry; and, replace it with a fresh
application of Montmorillonite clay gel, if desired.

Covered with Plastic: Covering the Montmorillonite
clay with plastic wrap or a plastic bag keeps the
clay from drying at all which is the desired effect
if you are applying it to a burn. Even though the
clay will not dry when covered with plastic some
people prefer to replace it twice daily. Other people
have found that even leaving the pack in tact on a
burn for two or three days will produce beautiful
new ‘pink skin’. Using the Dry Montmorillonite
clay: People say using it as a baby powder causes
diaper rash to disappear before the next diaper
change. Some people have reported a ‘drawing-healing
action’ when the clay is applied to an open
infected wound.

If you have never used clay before and plan on
using it for the first time on your skin expect a
REAL TREAT! Here are some testimonies from people
after using the Montmorillonite clay for four
weeks:

* No more skin rashes

* No more acne

* No more dandruff

* NEW AND, INCREASED HAIR GROWTH!!!

* Less ‘wandering-pain’ all over my body

* Clearer skin

* Enhanced growth and tissue repair of gums
and skin

* Softer skin

* No more brown skin spots

* Skin is less dry and feels more hydrated

* After soaking my feet in a water bath of clay no
more toe fungus

* My skin feels tighter and younger

* The redness on my face is almost gone after all
these years
