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 negatively charged minerals which are uncommon in nature. Having the negative charge allows them to attract and trap atoms, ions, and compounds that are positively charged and remove them from a system. Heavy metal toxins found in our bodies have a positive charge.

Zeolites can remove arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and other heavy metals from a system. Zeolites can help balance the pH level in our bodies to between a 7 and 7.5. This pH level stabilizes the immune system.

Zeolites have been used in powdered form for over 800 years throughout Asia as a traditional medicine to promote well being and overall health. Zeolites have been giving a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status from the US FDA. The are natural, non toxic and safe for long term use.

Everyday we are exposed to heavy metal toxins through the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Also, we like to knowingly apply personal hygiene products that are usually chock full of heavy metal toxins and other chemicals. Ensure that you do research on the product of your choice. You generally get what you pay for.

Zeolites should go in empty and come out full. If the zeolites you are using are not properly activated, they could go in full and come out the same way without actually absorbing anything. There is no danger of absorbing the contents of the zeolites as they are virtually indestructible, however, it wont do you any good.

Here are some guidelines to follow if you choose zeolites in your program. Try and choose a non synthetic naturally occurring product. The product needs to be "activated" or chemically washed to remove the toxins already present. The zeolites should be suspended in water only. You are taking zeolites to detox your body, not add this that and the other. - 31816
