I think it could possibly help! I would try it for sure.
Hoe exactly? Drinking?
yes, taking it internally would be how I would try it.

Also, I am trying to learn more about the aluminum thing too.

And I read Living Clay which is a great read- I am sure a lot of libraries carry it? I really like all the information on references to the Bible.

But something I still don't understand is the difference between certain clays? Like Bentonite vs. Montmorillonite or is Bentonite a type of Montmorillonite. If so, I don't understand the difference?

The first clay I bought was Bentonite. It is green in color but it's not odorless and tasteless like the book says it should be. It was the Therapeutic Living Clay. Now I have some of the Montmorillonite that is called Terramin. But I think it's only for internal use, like a dietary supplement.... anyway, I am still a little confused about this clay thing obviously

But I know the Bentonite clay does something when we use it for a bath b/c I can see a little black in the bottom of the tub... which must be toxins?

Also I don't understand the swelling thing. I guess the clay I purchased didn't swell when I hydrated it.

I bought the Earth's Living Clay and asked for and was provided the Gas Mass Spectrometer Test Results which does not list Aluminum.

I also found this link from a Dr. Anderson talking about Aluminum in Bentonite Clay: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=570441

Also found this: http://www.eytonsearth.org/forum/about349.html

Food for thought........

I just received the Gas Mass Spectrometer Test from Earth's Living Clay. I'm not sure I can post it here. It had no alluminum in it. It did have some things I'm going to look into, though: boron, chloride, fluoride, praseodymium and strontium oxides.

I've read the bit about negative charges and such before. It just seems a little like pseudo science to me. I'll admit I've only read it and haven't researched it's validity yet. I'm just trying to be cautious and avoid getting hurt again.

I know that some of them are trace minerals that our body needs, but the praseodymium and strontium I have to look up.

I got mine and can't wait to detox the family and do facials and wraps with my girls.

I am hoping to get rid of the tiny bumps on S's arms and legs

Hoping it will help DH with his weight loss and give us both energy by removing yucky stuff!

Default Re: Bentonite Clay

I did facials last night on DH, my 2 older girls and myself.

Is it normal for your face to itch and slightly burn while it is on? Then be REALLY red when you take it off?

It went away on all of us within an hour and the burning stopped after we took it off but I wanted to make sure that is normal detox reaction and not an allergy.

I don't know if it's normal, but that's sort of what I experienced last night when I used it for the first time (I had itching and an extremely tight feeling). I did read that it is normal for your face to be red for a little bit after you take it off.
