Has anyone heard of eating clay or some type of soil for detoxifying your body?

Question

Where is it available? Is it for colon cleansing or absorbing toxins?

Answer 1

I have used the benzonite clay( that may not be spelled right). I bought it at a local crafters mall actually.There are tons of books out there to give you different recipes and things to use it for. I would give you better detail but I am out of town on business and don't have it on hand. I had a friend who was burned very badly with a car cigarette lighter and we began using the clay mixture on it about 2 weeks after because it still had not healed with neosporin. Within a week it was completely healed. The way I was told it works is by drawing the metals out of your body. Feel free to email me and I will send the info as soon as I can.

She had been tested by physician but cant see any wrong on her colon or health.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Yes, and it's a bunch of nonsense. Plenty of people will tell you otherwise, but it really is garbage and there are no double-blind studies to tell you that it works.
