Default Re: Bentonite Clay

Hey! Yes, I do take it in capsule form - Called Blue Heron. It is not clay only - it is a mixture of great fibers to get the colon and intestines cleaned out. It helps to keep the liver from reabsorbing and refiltering hormones that have already been released with the bile. So in that way it does help the liver very much. Some other great ways to help the liver are: Milk Thistle - one 300 mg capsule per day with standardized 80% silymarine; a good B complex helps the liver to assimilate and metabolize estrogen better; also, Cal/mag; but very importantly be sure to eliminate anything that bloats you when you eat it - if it bloats you, that is a good sign you are unable to absorb it well (wheat is a HUGE culprit).

It is true that Lemon is very good for the internal systems - most of our organs do well when it is put thru since it is an astringent. However, one of the very best foods for the liver is Nettles. You can eat them cooked just like spinach, or drink them in tea or make a good soup out of it. I take nettle, red rasp and dandelion (also good for the liver/digestion) tea - 1 quart a day. Red Beats juice and carrot juice are also helpful to add to the diet and a tea of burdock rt, oregon grape root, yellow dock, dandelion root, echinacea root and sarsaparilla mixed well - 1 Tablespoon per 2 cups of water for 20 minutes makes a great tea - 1x a day for a serious liver pickerupper. I have lots of recipes and a whole liver detox diet if anyone is interested in them. A detox diet can be done during pregnancy, whereas liver detox systems are not good for pregnancy because you don't want toxins being released into your system and many of the herbs used are counterindicated for pregnancy.

There's my 2 1/2 cents!
