recommended by Kalki <http://www.experiencefestival.com/kalki> and The

Golden Age Foundation

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/golden_age_foundation> in order to be

fully receptive for pranic energy. It is so vital that it should be the

mandatory preparation before all deeper spiritual processes and as a

continous maintenance of the body as an antenna of cosmic energies.

Bentonite Clay Properties - Intestinal cleanse helping spiritual awakening

The notion of eating clay to produce internal healing

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/spiritual_healing/> will no doubt

strike many as farfetched if not a little primitive. But natural clay,

especially the form known as bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>, has not

only been used medicinally for centuries by indigenous peoples around

the world, but has, in recent years, been increasingly prescribed by

practitioners of alternative medicine

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/alternative_medicine> as a simple but

effective internal cleanser to assist in reversing numerous health

problems.

Clay is a great healer, according to clay expert Ran Knishinsky in The

Clay Cure (Healing

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/spiritual_healing/> Arts Press,

1998), who quips “I have been eating dirt every day for the past six

years.” Indeed, in over 200 cultures worldwide, every day people eat or

drink clay—the medicinal form of “dirt”—as both a nutritional supplement

and detoxifying agent, observes Knishinsky.

It is not ordinary “dirt” of course. The name bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> refers

to a clay first identified (or named) in cretaceous rocks in Fort

Benton, Wyoming. Although bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> deposits

occur worldwide, many of the largest concentrations are found in the

Great Plains area of North America.

Bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> is not a

mineral but a commercial name for montmorillonite, the active mineral in

many medicinal clays and which comes from weathered volcanic ash. This

name derives from Montmorillon, France, where the medicinal mineral was

first identified. Sometimes mineralogists use the term smectite instead

to describe the same substance.

A VOLCANIC DETOXIFIER

Bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>, a

medicinal powdered clay which is also known as montmorillonite, derives

from deposits of weathered volcanic ash. It is one of the most effective

natural intestinal detoxifying agents available and has been recognized

as such for centuries by native peoples around the world. Whatever the

name, liquid clay contains minerals that, once inside the

gastrointestinal tract, are able to absorb toxins and deliver mineral

nutrients to an impressive degree, says Knishinsky. Liquid clay is inert

which means it passes through the body undigested.

Technically, the clay first adsorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals,

pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area where they

adhere like flies to sticky paper; then it absorbs the toxins, taking

them in the way a sponge mops up a kitchen counter mess.

There is an electrical aspect to bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>´s

ability to bind and absorb toxins. According to Yerba Prima, a company

based in Ashland, Oregon, which markets Great Plains® Bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>, the

clay’s minerals are negatively charged while toxins tend to be

positively charged; hence the clay’s attraction works like a magnet

drawing metal shavings. But it’s even more involved than that.

Once hydrated (combined with water), bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> has an

enormous surface area. According to Yerba Prima, a single quart bottle

can represent a total surface area of 960 square yards or 12 American

football fields. Bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> is made

of a great number of tiny platelets, with negative electrical charges on

their flat surfaces and positive charges on their edges.

When bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> absorbs

water and swells, it is stretched open like a highly porous sponge; the

toxins are drawn into these spaces by electrical attraction and bound

fast. In fact, according to the Canadi

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/nadis>an Journal of Microbiology (31

[1985], 50-53), bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> can

absorb pathogenic viruses, aflatoxin (a mold), and pesticides and

herbicides including Paraquat and Roundup. The clay is eventually

eliminated from the body with the toxins bound to its multiple surfaces.

According to Sonne’s Organic Foods of North Kansas City, Missouri, a

company that markets Detoxificant (a liquid montmorillonite), “There is

no evidence that bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> has any

chemical action in the body. Its power is purely physical.”

Bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>’s

adsorptive and absorptive qualities may be the key to its multifaceted

healing <http://www.experiencefestival.com/spiritual_healing/>

abilities. Knishinsky reports that drinking clay helped him eliminate

painful ganglion cysts (tumors attached to joints and tendons, in his

case, in his wrist) in two months, without surgery.

According to Knishinsky, benefits reported by people using liquid clay

for a period of two to four weeks include: improved intestinal

regularity; relief from chronic constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and

ulcers; a surge in physical energy; clearer complexion; brighter, whiter

eyes; enhanced alertness; emotional uplift; improved tissue and gum

repair; and increased resistance to infections. “Clay works on the

entire organism. No part of the body is left untouched by its healing

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/spiritual_healing/> energies,” he notes.

A medical study by Frederic Damrau, M.D., in 1961 (Medical ls of the

District of Columbia) established clearly that bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> can end

bouts of diarrhea. When 35 individuals (average age 51) suffering from

diarrhea took two tablespoons of bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> in

distilled water daily, the diarrhea was relieved in 97% (34 of the 35

patients) in 3.8 days, regardless of the original cause of the problem

(allergies, virus infection, spastic colitis, or food poisoning).

According to Dr. Damrau, bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> is “safe

and highly effective” in treating acute diarrhea.

Knishinsky’s research suggests that the regular intake of liquid clay

(typically one to three tablespoons daily, in divided doses) can produce

other benefits including parasite removal from the intestines, allergy

and hay fever relief, and elimination of anemia and acne. For example,

clay helps anemia because it contains both types of dietary iron

(ferrous and ferric) in an easily assimilated form; it reduces

discomfort from allergies by quickly neutralizing allergens that would

otherwise produce allergic reactions; and it reduces heartburn and

indigestion by absorbing excess stomach acids.

However, bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>’s forte

is probably its role as a general internal detoxification and cleansing

agent. According to Payne of White Rock Mineral Corporation in

Springville, Utah, clay scrapes and cleans the lining of the colon. “As

the colon becomes cleaner, its ability to absorb minerals and other

nutrients increases, making the minerals even more bioavailable, thus

giving more energy.”

White Rock’s clay, called Bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064>

Minerals™, contains 71 trace and ultra-trace minerals, including many

that are probably unknown to most consumers, such as ruthenium,

tellurium, and thulium. Trace minerals enable the body to absorb

nutrients—“they are the bonding agents in and between you and food,”

explains Payne.

Bentonite

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> Minerals

are derived from an ancient seabed formation in Utah; according to

geologists, the clay formed when a layer of volcanic ash fell into what

was, long ago, a shallow inland sea. “As the ash filtered through the

seawater, it collected pure minerals, forming a layer of highly

mineralized clay,” says Payne.

The best way to drink bentonite clay

<http://www.experiencefestival.com/topic/articles/article/2064> is on an

empty stomach, or at least an hour before or after a meal or immediately

before sleeping at night, says Knishinsky. Typically, clay is available

as a thick tasteless, pale-grey gel, but it also comes as a powder or

encapsulated.

Generally, it is advisable to start with one tablespoon daily, mixed

with a small amount of juice; observe the results for a week, then

gradually increase the dosage to no more than four tablespoons daily, in

divided doses. Drinking clay can be an annual spring cleaning of your

gastrointestinal tract or it can be a symptom-focused, self-care method.
