Detox, Cleanse, Clay Baths & Ph

Agent Orange and Other Problems

I am a gulf war veteran.  I was activated January, 1991 and had to leave three small children ( my oldest was only five).  Although I was not deployed to the war zone, I was inoculated with a whole array of vaccines along with everyone else.  I spent most of my deployment in England, from where we launched our cargo planes loaded with supplies for the troops in Iraq.

Toward the end of my mobilization, I came down with a serious kidney infection, and when I was demobilized I continued to feel sickly.  I was chronically tired, but could never get a restful night’s sleep.  I had a dull headache all the time, my gums were sore and bleeding, and my joints ached.  After my demobilization, I felt as if I had aged fifty years!

I began to pay close attention to my diet, eating as much fresh vegetables and fruits…..getting organic as much as possible.  I began supplementing my diet with CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, milk thistle extract, vitamin c, a good probiotic, and just as much “good stuff” as I could get into my body.  These things seemed to help somewhat, but I just couldn’t seem to get total and consistent relief from the symptoms I was experiencing.

About two years ago, I accidentally came across the WARL radio station in Providence and there was a lady talking about “real health”.  After that day, I tuned in regularly.  Anyway, I began using oregano products, coconut oil, essential oils, flax lignin and some other items which again improved my condition.

Then, one day the radio show had this guest on who was talking about eating dirt every day!  I thought “what!?”  As I listened to this man describe the many curing abilities of this miraculous “dirt”, I made a decision that I was going to get some, as I still was battling bleeding gums, canker sores, and pains in the back of my neck and knee joints.

I started taking one teaspoon of clay with purified water first thing in the morning and before bed. I continued this regimen for about the next nine months, until one day this summer, I went to the beach with my husband and several of our friends for a diving adventure. After diving, we girls went into the ladies room to change and wash the salt and sand off. And as we were washing and chatting in front of the mirrors, one of the ladies looked at me, her eyes with the look of amazement, and she said to me “you have the best skin I’ve ever seen!” I didn’t know what to say except, “Thanks, what a kind thing to say.” Then I looked in the mirror and noticed that a liver spot I’d had on my left cheek since my last pregnancy which was in 1989, about the size of a quarter, which had started to raise at one point, was completely gone! My complexion really was even-toned and radiant! I hadn’t even noticed until that lovely comment was made!

What I really noticed, however, since eating clay every day and using only clay and sea salt as a dentifrice, is a complete clearing of my gum problems, the lack of joint and neck pain, no headaches, and I sleep like a baby!  The chronic fatigue I’d lived with for so long had disappeared completely!

I’m so thankful for this God-sent substance for those of us who can now use this to heal ourselves and to purify ourselves of the many toxins we ingest knowingly and unknowingly.  I do believe this “miracle dirt” could be the key to curing Gulf War Illness and to restoring our many sick veterans (about 260,000) back to health. – Donna D.

9/11 Clay Bath Detox

Want to give an update on the clay baths in regards to detoxing my husband from 9/11 toxins. We are amazed at how the clay baths are working! We know they’re working merely by the fact that there is less and less black sediment appearing in the bottom of the tub with each bath 🙂 We’re using 2 clay baths a week. It also makes us feel so much cleaner and softer than we ever have before. – Georgene F.

Clay Baths and Masks for Vertigo
I am 56 years old, and usually am never sick, and have never had vertigo before. We eat organic and filter our water. I normally do take daily clay, but had slipped this week before this happened due to family visiting. I had not detoxed with a clay bath in 2 weeks so it really hit me.

I would guess it would be based on what was actually causing your vertigo. I had not had any allergies, colds, or inner ear issues. No swimming, etc. However, the filters in our reverse osmosis water system had stopped functioning. Our water filter people had told us the water was safe to drink (basically we were drinking the city water we are supplied which is poisoned water), but we now know not to do this again. So we think it was just a buildup of toxins. The weather was hot, and we were drinking a lot of the poisoned water thinking the filters were just slow but working.

I was too sick to do a detox bath right away–though I knew that would help immensely. I just could not get it ready. So I did drink a dose of clay in some juice. Then I put a clay mask on my face, neck and feet. I left this on for about an hour. This helped enough that I was then able to mix up the clay (2 cups of dry clay), and take a detox bath for 15-20 minutes. That evening I did another clay mask on my face only.

I then did another clay bath a few days later. I think being more aggressive with the baths and masks (face and feet) would really see quicker results, possibly a bath a day or more a day. But I did get immediate relief from the vertigo, enough after the mask that I was able to ready the bath. And the bath was a big help. No more dizziness just more feeling weak. We thank God for this clay every day! We keep the Clay book handy for ready use and reference. – Patty E.

Clay Bath Detox – Free of Metals

I’m a little excited, I got my hair analysis back and I am toxin free. I have NO toxins; no lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium and so on. Here is a plug for clay, not that it needs it, but it does work.  I was so excited that I want to tell everyone that it does work. I don’t know when I started and was not faithful. But still the only thing I attribute it to is the clay. I ate the clay both ways, liquid and hydrated. I also took baths quite often in clay; love how it relaxes me and helps me sleep. I did brush my teeth with it too and still do some but not always. As to how often I will tell you I was on and off all the time. It was not an everyday thing mostly because it had to be right in front of me to remember it. LOL. The results of the toxin free was bonus knowledge for me. And the only thing I can attribute it to is the clay as I did nothing else to clear up toxins. And by the way my pH was great too. I also was not lacking in enzymes. I too must tell you that I am delving into RIGHT eating. I am 90% raw food and 10% cooked food eater. So I am sure these things added to my results except for the toxin free result.- Jean P.  

Clay Baths Detox Lead in 3 yr. old

My 3 year old son was diagnosed with high levels of lead in his blood – 7.3. The doctors wanted to put him on drugs and intravenous chelation. I had heard about Calcium Bentonite Clay for detoxing and wanted to try it first. I gave him 2 clay baths a week using 1 cup of clay in each bath for 3 months. My son calls them chocolate milk baths. Went back for the check up in 3 months and the doctor came in and asked “What have you been doing?” He said there was no sign of the lead. Wanted to know what he had doing to get rid of the lead. I told him about the clay baths. I was giving him a little liquid clay, 1 Tablespoon at night for acid reflux and that is all we did. After a few baths my son started asking for chocolate milk baths. – Ben H.

Clay Bath Detox Results

The clay has been working so well for me that I can hardly believe the results I have gotten and quickly, too. The first clay bath I took almost did me in. I must have been very toxic. I was tired and lethargic for about 3 days after, sleeping a lot and feeling exhausted. After I recovered, I felt better than I have in a very long time. I knew this could happen and was not dismayed in the least that it did, in fact, I was thrilled because I knew something good would come of it. A side benefit to all of this claying of my body is that my skin is so soft and smooth, it’s never looked healthier and I feel so much better. – Linda W.

Clay Bath Results in 6 Year old with 95 Percentile Heavy Metals

My boy, Noah, is 6, and regressed after his MMR. Sadly, I had a flu shot during pregnancy (convinced by my OB) and Noah had all his vaccines and the MMR was the last straw for him. The heavy metals (a slew of them) in his body measure in the 95th-100th percentile. Although many have stated clay has mercury in it, I have done my research and know your clay is pure- also there is a gentleman with a wealth of knowledge on the Yahoo CK2 group (Steve I think is his name) that promotes the clay as well. Noah has “toxic encephalopathy” and we have been using the clay to detox for quite some time. Sadly, on his birthday this year, Feb 3, he had brain and orbital surgery to remove abscesses that quite frankly came out of the blue – some say it is similar to what a progressive sinus infection can do but he had no symptoms of such – got a headache, was admitted for swelling around the eye and a few days later a second CT scan (at my insistence) revealed an intracranial epidural abscess (a deadly condition) in addition to the orbital one (around the eye). He was rushed to Johns Hopkins for immediate surgery….I am still suffering the trauma of it all…so is Noah. His Traumatic Stress Disorder has returned to it’s heightened state (began a year ago when he was abused in a pre-school program) and he is severely anxious.

Anyway, we have a phenomenal physician/pediatrician who is also a DAN doc and says Noah is not autistic although you would have thought so at 14 months when he “slipped away” and we have been healing him bio medically since then. He’s made tremendous progress – all but his lack of speech. He was chelating with TD-DMSA with awesome results along with your awesome clay. Because the hospitals didn’t “approve” of many of his meds and because he was/is so fragile, he is not using the DMSA right now, just the clay baths which show immediate results! He is happier, eye contact improves, relatedness and engagement are increased…on and on….he is a very sick little man bio-medically and I thank God clay is there  to help him. – Mary Ann M.  

Clay Detox of 12 month old Child with Lead Toxicity

I want to thank you for your clay book. The clay has been such a blessing to us. When our daughter was 12 months old, we took her to holistic practice for a checkup. They did a routine hair analysis on her and found that she had lead in her system. We immediately started to give her clay baths, 3 times a week, for 2.5 – 3 months. Additionally, we gave her 1 tsp of hydrated clay with her food, 1 time a day, every day for 2 months. We then had her blood tested. Lead levels greater than 10 micrograms/dL are considered abnormal, according to the CDC. Our daughter’s test results came back at 2 mcg/dL, out of a normal range of 0 – 9. We will continue to give her the clay as we had been doing to completely remove the lead from her system, but we are very relieved her levels are getting closer to zero, and that we didn’t have to go the route of intrusive chelation treatments. – Natalie M

Detox, Cleanse and pH Balance

As a Nutritional Microscopist, I have the unique perspective of seeing how any & all changes to me & my clients affect us on a cellular level. I can go into numerous reasons why that is the most important indicator of anything related to one’s health but I will save that for another time.

Suffice it to say, I can look at the blood after fasting & see a disorganization of cells. After the individual takes a supplement or food, I can look again to see what kind of changes have occurred.  The type of change is the ultimate indicator of the positive or negative impact on the body.

I say that to say this, every cell in our bodies is created by our red blood cells & the health of our red blood cells determines the health of every cell & thus our entire body. If I have a client that comes to me with a diagnosis from an oncologist saying that he has intestinal cancer for instance, I know that it only takes about 2 weeks to turn over every cell in the intestines. If we go about fixing this problem from the typical American stand point of poor nutrition, radiation & acidic drugs then it will take months for a chance of “curing” the cancer, with no guarantee of success or that it won’t come back. I, on the other hand, would have the client use clay to cleanse, alkalize & heal the bowels & the entire body & use chlorophyll or plant blood to build new healthy cells. In 2 weeks every cell could be regenerated as a brand new healthy cell and the cancer could be virtually gone. Of course, this is a simplified example of a more in depth situation. However, it shows the basic point that clay & chlorophyll, assuming that we are dealing with the best quality products for the best results, are crucial to any & all health concerns no matter how big or small.

Health comes from four main protocols.  First, cleansing & detoxifying the bowels & other filter/elimination organs of the body.  Second, providing the body the proper nutrients to do its job of building new healthy cells & meeting the needs of the body to heal itself & perform all the other functions of life.  Third, super hydrating the body with electron saturated water.  Fourth, getting regular exercise to help deal with stress, increase oxygen levels & remove waste. You can’t do it on part of the equation, you need all these components. Quality is just as important as the how of the equation. That is why I only use the very finest calcium Bentonite clay.-Jason F.

Detox Success Measured by Iridology

I am pleased to say that the clay has really been cleaning things up for me. Let me explain a bit. I have been awakened to the holistic way and natural remedies for 6 1/2 years now. With some health issues which has held up some of the progress, I have been cleansing (Colon) off and on as issues would permit change in diet etc. Each time I would cleanse I would see change in the eye, (iridology) but it would only get so clean. My naturopath would check periodically and I also as I have taken every study course he had to offer, iridology being one of them. Any way I have only been taking clay since Jan. and I just had a eye check with him and I told him I had been detoxing. When he looked at the eye pictures he could see how clean and clear they are. My iris’ now look better than ever, he said. “I guess you have! Keep doing what you are doing.” I said I will.

I have been taking 1-2 ounces of the liquid clay premix daily and 2 clay baths a week using 2 cups of Living Clay per bath and soaking a good 20 minutes.  I am detoxing this way for heavy metals. I had (mercury) amalgams.  I still have about half way to go. My sleep has improved too! I don’t seem to wake up for long periods of time very much anymore.  I look forward to see how I could finish my healing process maybe quicker with this toxic burden being straightened out. I thank God for his guidance to clay and other great helps and products etc. along the way. – Virginia C.

Hairstylist Gets Relief from Chemical Exposure

I would like to tell you that I go to an herbalist that does muscle testing on me.  As a hairstylist I am around chemicals all the time.  Before I started drinking clay I tested very poorly for solvent toxins and since I have started drinking and wearing clay I have almost none left in my system.  I start off in the morning with my clay and end my day with my clay, I love it. – Sharon G.

Heavenly Clay Bath

OH…….MY GOD!  I just did my first clay bath and it was SO GREAT!!!  I feel like a million bucks!  I also used the Lavender soap and body cream…..also SO GREAT!  I feel like how Cleopatra must have felt….HA!  I love your products and your Southern generosity. I’ll be a customer for life. I’ll tell ya’ one thing I noticed since I did the clay bath last evening: my skin has a pleasant warmness to it, and I sweated like I only sweat when I drum, after the bath. It just felt SO good. My bathroom smells like the lavender soap you gave me, and I got a new batch of essential oils today. I think I’m going to write a book and entitle it: “I died and went to the bathroom (pun intended)….don’t call, don ‘t write”. I….have a confession……I have become a natural product WHORE. I’ve even eschewed Jimmy Choo’s and Dooney and Bourke for just about any natural product I can get my hands on. That’s what I wish I could get a career doing: testing and writing about natural products. Then I could spend most of my time in one of my most favorite places….my bathroom. It’s almost like Holy ground to me. You would have laughed your arse off if you could have been the fly on the wall when I was taking my clay bath. You would have thought I was rolling around in pure, liquid gold itself! But I know a good thing when I’m WALLOWING in it, and as far as I’m concerned…it IS liquid gold and nothing less. I was so looking forward to that clay! I whipped out my thick and thirsty, 100% organic robe and slippers, de-chlorinated the bath water first, lit a candle, had a cold bottle of water with a twist of lime in there with me and got the water as hot as I could take it. Added the clay and IN I went……for 20 minutes of GLORY. Life…..can really suck. Clay….sucks a whole lot better!!!  HA! – Lizabeth E.

Heavy Metal Detoxing

I wanted to relay some information on my experience with a journey to remove heavy metals from my body. Some background is necessary to understand my health status. 10 years ago I suffered from a major health crisis and was diagnosed with microscopic ulcerative colitis, I had lost 25 pounds and weighed 97 pounds. The treatment prescribed was steroids. My mom had heard of a homeopathic practitioner in our area and I decided to go to see her, before starting the traditional medical treatment. It took 3 years; but, subsequent colonoscopies have never picked up the colitis and traditional doctors have said that there must have been a mistake in my original diagnosis. Since then, I have made homeopathy my official and first line of action for illness. My practitioner has always told me that I had a huge toxic burden to my body, and the many strategies that I have tried, have never impacted the high metal levels. One day in Sept 08, my practitioner told me that if I could not get my toxic levels down that I would most assuredly develop cancer at some point. She suggested a sauna treatment which is costly and time consuming. So I left the office disheartened that no matter what I tried, I could not impact those levels.

That same day, I went to a new health food store, and while standing in line, I noticed a magazine with an article about detoxing. It mentioned several books and Perry’s book, Living Clay and talked about how one could detoxify the body with the use of clay. I went home read the article and ordered Perry’s book. Next, I ordered the clay and began taking it at the end of Sept. 08. I have taken clay baths about one time per week and have taken clay internally daily since Sept. My recent hair analysis shows that I have had significant reductions in my heavy metals. I went from the 80th percentile in total toxic representation to the 64th percentile. This is after 5 months on the clay. Even my homeopathic practitioner was stunned as she has never seen my levels go anywhere but up. Clay was not my only treatment, I combine it with eating almost all organic fruits and vegetables. I also eat over 50% raw. Additionally, I take several supplements to assist with detoxing.

This long story is to tell people that detoxing can be done without huge expense. I have the data and testing to prove that clay is an amazing product to use in the detoxification process and seems to help everything else I was doing. I’m so thankful I found clay! – Justine F.

High Mercury Detoxing

My chronic inflammation is greatly reduced and I no longer feel like I am on the brink of madness. I started having problems about 4 years ago when I was in the navy, during a period of low vitamin d/ high mercury exposure through corroding amalgam fillings, numerous vaccinations, and consumption of lots of sushi. I started taking high dose vitamin D (8000 IU per day) a few months ago which seemed to help my thyroid some, but wasn’t addressing the bigger problem of mental dysfunction and hyperactive immune system. I had a lot of the symptoms of mercury toxicity, inability to concentrate, severe mood swings, shooting pains anywhere in the body, pins and needles sensations, creepy crawly feelings, chronic fatigue, delusional thinking, mild hallucinations. Also, attempting chelation through Alpha Lipoic Acid and naturopathic formulations from my doctor made the symptoms a lot worse, which is another reason I think I have mercury in my system. After my first clay bath I had a  lot of shooting pains, twitching muscles, and creepy crawlies, which would indicate mobilization of mercury. I’ve done 4 clay baths now and the symptoms are greatly reduced. My chronic inflammation is less severe now too. No, I haven’t done a test, but from what I’ve read most tests are not good at detecting mercury, and all the symptoms consistently point to mercury. – Aaron E.

Toxin Free Hair Analysis

I am a little excited, I got my hair analysis back and I am toxin free. I have NO toxins like lead, mercury, cadmium and so on. I started with clay baths to help me with a pinched nerve and did it ever help. So I did a lot of baths and still do. I ate the clay both ways liquid and hydrated. I also took baths quite often in clay. Love how it relaxes me and helps me sleep. I did brush my teeth with it too and still do some but not always. As to how often I will tell you I was on and off all the time. It was not an every day thing mostly because it had to be right in front of me to remember it. LOL I got the hair analysis because I am trying to do some hormone balancing. I still have hot flashes even after 7 years of menopause. The results of the toxin free test was a bonus knowledge for me. And the only thing I can attribute it too is the clay as I did nothing else to clear up toxins. And by the way my PH was great too. And something else he did for me was too test my saliva in the morning right after I had drank some lemon juice. If it went up to 8 it meant that my enzymes were doing a great job. I was not lacking in enzymes. I too must tell you that I am (recently in last 6 years) delving into RIGHT eating. I am 90% raw food and 10% cooked food eater. So I am sure these things added to my results except for the toxin free result. I don’t believe one needs to take any medicine when there is so much out there naturally to help. I am not on any medication and am 55 years young. I hope this helps. – Jean P.

Toxic Load Decreased

Just wanted to share an interesting experience I had today. I have seen a homeopathic practitioner for 10 years now. Today, I shared the fact that I was using clay internally daily and taking clay baths. She showed me some clay tablets she prescribes for parasites. I feel so comfortable with the fact that she approved my clay use since I have trusted her for some years now. Additionally, she noticed the spots on my hands and told me how my liver was being detoxed. What a great confirmation! I also had a hair analysis re-done and hope to share the good news that my toxic load has decreased in several weeks. – Justine F.
