Eytons' Earth - Las Vegas Nevada

Green Healing Clay of the Desert
Bentonite as used in Pelotherapy, Natural and Alternative Medicine

The image to left depicts a natural artesian hot spring deep in the far reaches of the Mojave desert. The natural organic mud ( as apposed to just clay ) below, coal-black in color, is rich in bentonite and relatively low in sulphur, providing an extremely unique externally used detoxifying agent. Natural muds cannot be removed from their source without losing many of the properties that are constantly maintained by the fragile ecosystem. The water, rising to the ground at about 116 degrees F., is estimated to be 1.5 million years old, and is heated from a magma chamber deep within the Earth.

Our Purpose

Where We Came From

The first hint of Eytons' Earth began when I, Jason R Eaton, developed a severe skin condition in 1988 which no dermatologist could cure.  After a host of antibiotic and acid treatments, I left the comforts of the realm of modern medicine in search of an alternate solution.  During the period 1989 - 1993 countless hours were spent in extensive research into metaphysics, which eventually led to my own personal discovery of bentonite late in 1993, where I literally stumbled into a natural deposit in the middle of the night!

On that same autumn evening I tried an application of this natural clay while soaking in a well hidden natural hotspring pool deep in the far and silent reaches of the Mojave Desert.  Within five minutes I experienced the first pain-free moment in four years.

By 1994 I had collected a majority of the public research material available worldwide ( to my knowledge ) regarding the medical and healing uses of living clay; from the ancient rites of the Egyptians to the modern laboratory studies conducted mainly in the 1970's - 1980's. I began experimenting with my own cosmetic blends borrowing mostly from French sources.

Late in 1994 a business concept was developed for marketing a world-class quality healing clay for cosmetic use.  The name of the proposed business was to be The Tecopia Cosmetica Company. Changing circumstances led to the abandonment of this initial idea, although our own private products eventually derived names from original concept ( Tecopia Cosmetica, Tecopia Medica ).

At the same time, unusual circumstances led me into the exploration of more serious healing applications of bentonite.  A soon-to-be good friend approached me with the news she was diagnosed with a terminal illness which the medical establishment could do nothing to arrest.  Our work with metaphysics and healing clay produced a cure within two weeks of the diagnosis, and to this day ( five years later ) she remains in perfect health.

I was both frightened and awed at the possibilities, completely at a loss for a reasonable explanation for what I had seen.  I stepped up my research, intuitive and experiential in nature, and continued an exploration with advanced healing when circumstances allowed.  In September of 1996, Tammy Marie and I left for a one year trip to the Death Valley region, CA, where we eventually started Eytons' Earth at a local Hot Springs Resort.

Slowly I started formulating my own theories as to the nature of bentonite. Working with a wide variety of people with conditions ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome to sports injuries to recovery from surgery, we began to understand the full scope of bentonite for healing.

In our exploration, we also realized that manufacturers who process clay reduce clay's effectiveness incredibly - even those with the highest standards.  Through a study of nature and its circular processes, we discovered two fantastic secrets that have the potential of changing the face of natural medicine.

When nature forms "ready to use clay" the product is completely different than any manufactured equivalent ( more on this in an upcoming section ).  VERY specialized crystal-like clusters form, in absolute contrast to the powdered equivalent of processed clay.

Secondly, we discovered that clay is most potent within minutes of adding natural, geothermally heated water, and NOT after 24 hours of preparation, nor when solely combined with distilled water or other natural waters ( both these methods, of course, still work ).  We now SUSPECT that this is due to an incredible energy transformation that occurs, as the clay unleashes both the power of sun ( adsorbed prior to use, in the natural processing stage ) and the natural radiation of the Earth.

On June 25, 1997, we left the Death Valley Region and headed for New Mexico with the idea that healing with living clay should be free.  With a plan to use Eytons' Earth natural cosmetics to fund a not-for-profit effort in researching and treating a wide variety of conditions, we landed in Albuquerque, NM.

In April 2002, Eytons' Earth was again relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada.

...and beyond, wherever the great silences pour...
