There are two important reasons your body benifits from the use of Calcium Montmorillonite clay.
- Remineralization
- Internal detoxification
No matter what you do, you may not be getting the essential nutrition your body needs. In fact, MOST people are deficient in many trace minerals because our soils and foods are deficient. Modern farming techniques use the soil over and over for high yield mass production, depleting the soil and the crops of vital essential elements. As soil health declines, farmers become increasingly reliant upon synthetic petroleum-based fertilizers to artificially replenish the soil with nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. As a result, most of the food grown is deficient in trace mineral elements. Studies have shown that there is a relationship between human malnutrition and the depletion of trace elements in soil. According to the USDA, we would have to eat 75 bowls spinach in order to get the same amount of iron as one bowl eaten in 1948. The most common degenerative diseases today are heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis, and many others can be linked to mineral and trace mineral deficiencies. Even with a healthy diet, without trace minerals the body is defenseless.
Not only are most people mineral deficient, but we are bombarded with man-made toxins from chemicals, pesticides, and food additives. Minerals are needed to help the body detoxify, but commercially available colloidal minerals and oral supplements cannot directly remove toxins from your body. Calcium Montmorillonite clay contains nature's most powerful, internal organic cleansing clay, Living clay sweeps away pathogens, heavy metals, and mycotoxins from your colon. Technically, the montmorillonite clay first adsorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area and then it absorbs the toxins, taking them in like a sponge. The clay and toxins are removed with each bowel movement. Parasites are unable to reproduce in the presence of clay
