Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay is a type of colloidal clay that “adsorbs” may toxins.  The process of adsorption means that many toxic substances are capable of “sticking” to the outside of bentonite clay.

Bentonite clay is used for the treatment of these conditons:

Allergies:

Bentonite clay binds to many of the foreign substances (antigens) that cause allergies.  Once bound to bentonite clay, these allergens are flushed from the body.

Detoxification:

Bentonite clay “adsorbs” many toxins from the digestive tract.  As bentonite clay travels through the digestive tract it “sticks” to many toxic substances, facilitating their elimination from the body.

Diarrhea:

Bentonite clay absorbs many of the toxins in the digestive tract that may be the underlying cause of diarrhea.

Dosage:

30 ml of liquid bentonite clay per day - taken as one tablespoon first thing in the morning and a further tablespoon in the evening.
