Detoxing with Zeolites

By Carrie Spry

A chemical reaction between salt water and lava for what we call zeolites. Zeolites have special structures that are cage-like with open channels and spaces. These open channels allow molecules and ions to move easily into and out of the structure. These type of materials are also called molecular sieves.

Zeolites are natural minerals that hold a negative which is not common in nature. This enables them to attract and trap ions, atoms, and compounds with the opposite charge and remove them from a system, like a magnet. The heavy metal toxins that are found in our environment and our bodies are positively charged.

Zeolites have been shown to remove mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and other heavy metals. Research has shown that it actually helps to balance the pH level in our body producing a slightly alkaline system. This in turn stabilizes the immune system.

The powdered forms of specific zeolites have been used for centuries as traditional remedies throughout Asia to promote overall health and well being. Because zeolites are natural and non-toxic, they are safe for long term use. The have been giving GRAS (generally recognized as safe) from the US FDA.

We are exposed to heavy metal toxins on a daily basis in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink, not to mention other chemicals we apply to our bodies. It is important to know your product and get the one with the most research behind it.

When choosing zeolites to detox your body, read the product info to make sure that the product is cleansed of all the original heavy metals and toxins. You are not in any danger of absorbing these toxins, but it doesn't leave much room to absorb your toxins into it.

When looking for a product to used in your personal detox, keep in mind the following points. Choose a product that is natural and not synthetic. The zeolites should be activated or chemically washed to remove the natural toxins it has already absorbed, from being in nature. Also, you don't want to contaminate the zeolites before you ingest them, ensure that they are suspended in water. - 14130
