I bought my first batch of clay in 2007. Terramin from California Earth Minerals (there's some useful information on their website about clay in general) In the beginning I used it very sparingly (one tablespoon per two weeks or so) because I was afraid that it would kill too much bacteria in my stomach and hamper digestion.
When I ran out of Terramin I bought another type of clay, Pascalite, that I now like much more. Better taste, lovely colour and it's sun-dried. I've been eating this stuff for five months straight, a teaspoonful every evening hoping it would bind with radicals and poisons from cooked food.
I've followed AV's 'when premixed and aged, clay is 3 times more effective' mantra and mix the clay with water until it's a thin plaster-like mixture and let it sit around for couple of days before using it. I also use clay to brush my teeth before going to bed and occasionally as a sun-block on my nose.
I haven't found any side effects from eating clay every day but I guess it would be different when I return to eating RAF. Maybe I start taking one tablespoon per week again and only would up my intake only if I get symptoms of excessive worm activity.
Blagged excerpts from Pascalite's book and promotional materials.
----------
Pascalite is a rare form of calcium bentonite (montmorillonite), formed thirty million years ago in the froth and foam of the fiery and convulsive era atop the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming. Over the centuries, it captured the calcium from the limestones formation, and many ohter minerals in trace amounts migrated into it. Slowly cooling temperatures converted these to oxides, which are readily absorbed in the human metabolism. It was further enriched by plant and animal life, as their proteins and amino acids were added to it.
The Pascalite clay exists now as a cream colored, dense, cheese-like material, which is mined underground (avoiding contamination), solar dried at the high mountain site, then ground into a usable powder for both internal and external use.
Clay has been used since ancient times, and also by native Americans. Clay shimmers with electronic energy. It triggers intricate chemical reactions, and sucks poison from the environment. The crystalline lattice of clay gives it the ability gives it the ability to store energy and re-emit it. Clay appears smart with the ability of knowing where to target itself to provide the best benefit. Pascalite radiates energy 100 feet, and possesses the ability to negate noxious energies. ‘Live’ rock dusts can improve soil structure and rejuvenate ‘dead’ soils.
Please do not confuse Pascalite with other common clays - such as sodium bentonite, which is a swelling type (Pascalite is non-swelling), French green clay, Jordan clay, etc. Though classified as a calcium bentonite, at least one government agent has hinted it may well be an as-yet-unidentified material outside the scope of present knowledge.
One research group gives a possible explanation as to why Pascalite differs from other clays. It lies relatively near the famous and mysterious Big Horn Medicine Wheel, which dates back to native American antiquity. ‘We feel medicine wheels were built on vortex areas where earth energies surface intensely, and the Pascalite contains that same intense energy.’ At Pascalite, we believe that by solar drying this clay it also absorbs extra energy via the sun.
The results from the use of this natural material suggest a synergism which is not completely understood. The synergism allows the minerals in Pascvalite to work together much better than if alone. Pascalite supplies needed minerals that many of us lack in our daily diets. This natural mineral is a valuable food supplement and has extraordinary qualities as related to nutrition and health. All analyses and testing confirm that there is no contraindication to human health when used in moderation. Pascalite works as a catalyst and helps our bodies help ourselves.
As to the mineral makeup of Pascalite, analyses show the following: silicon, iron, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, copper, titanium, sodium, and trace amounts of chromium, manganese, barium, cobalt, boron, potassium, vanadium, nickel, cadmium, gallium, strontium, phosphorus and zirconium.
It contains silicon as silica, silicates, silicones; aluminum as aluminum oxide; magnesium as magnesium oxide; iron as oxides; calcium as oxides (CaCo and CaCo2); sodium as complex salts; titanium as titanium oxide; potassium as complex salts; manganese as manganese oxide; barium as barium oxide; zirconium as silicates and carbonate; strontium as oxide and celestite; cadmium as an oxide; copper as oxides and sulfide; nickel as oxide; gallium as oxides, patronite; chromium as oxide combined with iron; and boron as borate, colemanite. Twenty elements in all.
In addition, traces of sulfur, chlorides and hydrocarbons. 300 PPM of protein. The seven elements not present are fluorine, phosphorus, zinc, selenium, molybdenum, tin, and iodine. When combined with water or dilute hydrochloric acid, 17 of the 24 elements confirmed as essential to mammalian life are present. Elements contained in this clay which have been definitely proven as essential to life are aluminum, titanium, nickel, barium, cadmium, gallium, strontium and zirconium. Of these eight elements, all but nickel and gallium have established medical properties; nickel is highly suspected as essential to life processes, and gallium has no known toxicity to man or beast.
Under therapeutic indications, case histories extending over the past several years attest to the beneficial results obtained from the topical application of this material to skin disorders. The various involvements include discomfort and lesions identified with malaria, intertrigo, pruritus, fungus infections, sebaceous cysts, planter heratosis and acne, as well as bacterial infections, fungus infections and various forms of dermatitis. Even diagnosed cases of epithelioma have been ‘cured’ or post-operative healing produced by treatments of this material.
Current investigations have resulted in astonishing benefits in the treatment of minor wounds, insect bites, burns, cold sores, acne, corns, hemorrhoids and styes.
Since the subject material contains many of the active ingredients found in conventional topical medications, it is surprising that some benefits are experienced by its use, but the almost miraculous recovery associated with the application of this material suggests a type of synergism which we do not completely understand.
Although there is a long history of individuals who claim relief from gastrointestinal ailments, recent results learned from several chronic sufferers all confirm that this material ingested with water brings almost immediate relief from stomach discomforts associated with gas and hyperacidity, ‘heart burn’ or atonic ulcer syndrome.
The mutiple and complex interdependencies of the elements involved in this analysis suggest many important facts about the role and interrelations of the metal ions in nutrition and in health and disease. Much remains to be learned about the specific biochemical role of most of the essential elements. It is fairly well understood that a wide variety of metalloenzyme is required for the successful functioning of living organisms. Although a majority of the trace elements, represented by metallic ions, serve as key components of essential enzyme systems, as one lowers the threshold of amounts required it becomes increasingly difficult to determine which element participates in various functions.
The presence of protein in this material gives evidence of yet undisclosed amino acids. The fact that amounts are small, and that even the requirements are for minute quantities, in no way diminishes their great importance. Suffice to to say we may be flirting with the outskirts of carcinolytic exposure.
When the material was made aseptic in an autoclave it was only mildly antiseptic. However when used as a media of raw material it inhibited the growth of representative pathogens such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, salmonella, escherichia coli and pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Only two of the fungi of the several found in the sample have been identified at this time; namely, Actinomyces and Penicillium. The discovery of these fungi confirms the antibiotic qualities during previous analyses, and gives credence to earlier claims that the material was effective in the treatment of gangrene and other insidious infections. On the basis of all analyses and testing performed to date, there is no reason to doubt that this material has extraordinary qualities as relates to nutrition, health and healing and should be made available to the public with the following substantiated claims..
A valuable food supplement as a source of most essential minerals.
An effective topical treatment for dermatological disorders.
As an essential component for cosmetics and beauty aids.
A safe, effective dressing for burns, abrasions, lacerations and punctures.
A safe, fast, and effective remedy for gastro-intestinal distress.
No contraindication to human health.
