...So, I went back to the clay last week and now for almost a week, I have drank the clay water and slept like a baby. And the best part is that once again I dream! Taking the pills, I never dreamed. It is healthy to dream. I am now sleeping at least 7 hours each night, and I never wake up at all. Now I am waking up around 7:00-7:30 am, and suddenly I have more DAY TIME and I am getting more done and have more energy. The longer I take the clay, the more energy I have, because I am getting--finally--the rest that I need and getting it in a natural, safe and healing way."

"Everyone wants a quick cleanse or a 24 hour detox. Sure, party for a decade and then try to clean up the whole mess in a few minutes, it's not going to happen. Any Cleansing or Detoxification Program is a total joke unless you do a thorough bowel cleansing for a few weeks FIRST!"

"...I have literally traveled around the world in search of what a normal bowel movement and bowel habit should be like. Now, how many people can say that?"

"...These relaxed primitive people all seemed to have one bowel movement within 20 to 30 minutes after each major meal that they ate. They just squat, it rapidly comes out within a minute, and they are done. No library of magazines, no squeezing, straining, grunting, meditation or prayer, it just came out effortlessly. They seem to average between 2 and 4 bowel movements a day..."
- Dr. Richard Schulze

"Death begins in the colon... In my opinion, there is only one real disease, and that disease is 'autointoxiation' - the body poisoning itself. It's the filth in our system that kills us. I'm convinced that unless you clean out your colon you will never regain vibrant health."

- Dr. V. Earl Irons

Bentonite and psyllium make an excellent combination for use internally. A mixture of both of these relatively inert substances has long been used to cleanse the digestive system, reduce or eliminate food allergies, eliminate constipation, and successfully combat candida infections. Utilizing psyllium with bentonite can eliminate most of the uncomfortable side effects that some people experience when using bentonite alone, and provides a gentle means of cleansing the colon.

Psyllium

Psyllium, also known as Isabgol, is a soluable plant fiber ( Plantago syllium ) containing 10 - 30% mucilage. Psyllium is well known for its binding properties, and is commonly used as a safe and effective natural laxative. As a soluable fiber food source, normal use reduces cholesterol adsorbed by the body.

Psyllium has also been used to treat diabetes, diverticular disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. Psyllium can be used to treat any inflammatory conditions of the digestive system, including ulcerations.

Always increase water intake when using Psyllium internally. Drinking an extra six to eight ounces of water is strongly recommended.

Contraindications:

While generally regarded as safe, a small minority of individuals do not tolerate psyllium well. Those experiencing discomfort should discontinue use, or start with a very small amount to allow the body to adjust.

Use of psyllium can reduce the effectiveness of prescribed lithium.

Use of psyllium can reduce the effectiveness of antibiotics.

Do not use psyllium within two hours of any medicinal substances. Use at least 30 minutes prior to eating.

Always start slowly; use 1 tsp. of clay with psyllium rather than starting with 1 tablespoonful.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, it's not a joke.

Avoid ingesting clay/psyllium with oils.

Preparation: Psyllium & Bentonite

Preparing the Bentonite / Healing Clay Colloid with Psyllium

Please note: Both the Psyllium and the Bentonite MUST be fully hydrated prior to ingestion! We've received several emails from people following incorrect "psyllium and bentonite shake instructions", who have experienced discomfort due to the psyllium swelling in the stomach.

First, prepare the bentonite mixture by adding one teaspoonful to tablespoonful of clay to an 8 ounce glass of water. Mix completely so that the bentonite is completely dispersed throughout the water ( with no clay clumps present in the water ). Then, add one teaspoon to one tablespoonful of powdered psyllium husks to the clay colloid. Mix thoroughly. Before taking the psyllium and clay internally, be certain that the psyllium has had time to expand completely.

Clay And Psyllium Magma
This bentonite and psyllium magma was made by combining just enough psyllium to completely saturate the hydrated bentonite colloid. Please note that this image is only used as an example of a colloidal state; very few people should ingest a psyllium/clay colloid this dense without alot of detox experience.

Visually studying the colloid will allow an experienced user to be certain that the bentonite and psyllium is widely dispersed throughout the water medium. Avoid adding too much psyllium or bentonite. This will ensure that the end product remains in a colloidal state, with the charge layers intact and the particles fully hydrated. Following the one teaspoon guide is always a safe method to achieve a good product, but it shouldn't be assumed that this is the only method!

Clay and Psyllium - II
[ Careful visual study of the differences between a bentonite clay water and a psyllium and bentonite colloid will reveal that the bentonite and psyllium organize quite differently in the water medium than either do independently ]

 

Using Clay and Psyllium Internally for a Gentle Detox

Using bentonite and psyllium internally may be done in the same manner as clay used alone. We do recommend, however, that the addition of psyllium be limited to twice daily. If one elects to use the psyllium combination twice daily over a long period time, prudence suggests that the two doses should be administered first thing in the morning and in the late evening, at least 30 minutes before breakfeast and at least 30 minutes after dinner.

 

Tips: Getting Serious about Restoring the Bowels to Perfect Health

Complete bowel cleansing takes time. Here are some simple tips to help you on your way; ones that will not interfere with using natural earths and clays:

  • Restore the alkalinity of your soft tissues - Use PH testing strips to test your saliva every four hours for three days. If your average reading is below 6.75, then alkalizing needs to be a very serious priority. When we tested 50 random people, all individuals who reported excellent health measured 7.0. All chronically ill individuals accept for one had a problem with high acidity levels. Fresh lemon water can be used to help the body flush acids from the soft tissues of the body.
  • Use a program such as Dr. Schulze's intestinal formula #1. Why Dr. Schulze? There are better digestive cleansing programs available, but his formulas are very effective and simple to use.
  • Primal Defense Probiotics
  • Both Primal Defense and Dr. Schulze's formula are available here: http://www.risingstarlc.com/schulze5.htm
  • Individuals who do not respond to probiotics should consider researching fermented cabbage juice.
  • Modify your diet! There is no perfect "out of the box" dietary philosophy that we have been able to identify. People are individuals, and there are at least 12 core genetic factors that influence what type of diet may be best for any individual. If you have a very hard time eating correctly for your body, then get a whole food kosher meal product such as "Ultimate Meal" by Ultimate Life, and religiously make at least 1 shake daily, at least 5 times weekly.
  • Learn to listen to your body! It knows what it needs.
  • Conditions involving serious digestive failure can even take 1-2 years to resolve even when using an effective protocol.

  The science of clays is an emmense subject to tackle; one can get a PHD in clay science. The chemistry of clays is also a specialty field, especially studying clay as a colloid. One may thus also get a PHD specializing in colloidal chemistry. To understand the vast world of clay, as it applies to natural medicine and biochemistry and biological sciences, one would require an understanding of both specialized sciences. Skeptical? See the fantastic research of Sandia National Laboratories and other clay science research.

Subject: Candida + SIBO + Hypochlohydria

Hi there,

I have suffered with IBS-Diarrhea for almost every day of my life for the last 20 years. I got sick as a hospital as a teenager and while on antibiotics in hospital I think it may have messed up my stomach and my flora. I have since been confirmed with extreme intestinal Candida (Metrametrix test), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)-(Hydrogen Breath Test) and Hypochlohydria (low Stomach Acid). I also recently had to remove the h-pylori bug as well.

I recently started taking Idione drops after recently having tried Hydrogen Peroxide drops without success. I also just bought some bentonite clay (havent started yet) and am taking many natural antifungals, digestive enzymes, HCL Acid tablets and L-Glutamine.

Any other advice you could give?

Dan

Hi Dan...

In combination with a good healing clay, I recommend looking into fermented cabbage juice... However, with your history, don't expect adjusting to fermented cabbage juice to be easy! And it may take quite some time to get healing benefits from the protocol, so once you do adjust, stick with it. Also, you'll need to work very hard to restore the antioxidant levels in your body. Go for the long haul, and avoid the quick fix.

Subject: The right dose and buying source?

I used to smoke until a year ago and also do have problems with my digestive system. The latter is basically slow digestion, bloatedness and a lot of gasses. So I've decided to start using the bentonite detox method. Initially intend to use half a teaspoon of bentonite and the same amount of psyllium powder mixed in a glass of water once a day every other day. I presume this is ok? I mean it is not too small an amount to have a positive effect?

Also I purchased the bentonite and psyllium from a UK website called naturallygreen.co.uk Does anyone know if this is a reliable source please?

Subject: My 3 day experience

I have just completed a 3 day detox with the Bentonite and Psyllium mix to address the degradation of my mental faculties and weakened immune system, perhaps due to a Mercury filling and or general exposure to chemical contaminants and food toxicity acbleepedulated over the course of many years.

My friend wbleepedis also a herbalist and naturopath recommended me to take 1 teaspoon twice a day for 3 days initially, consuming a liquid diet only.

I started to feel the benefits on the second day of my cleansing and today (4th day), wow! I feel like a new person, totally rejuvenated, my senses seem a lot more acute. My focus, clarity and memory retention are much clearer than they have been for years. I have a lot more energy.

I had to drink a lot of purified water to kickstart the bowel movement and avoid constipation.

Is it normal to experience significant benefits in such a relatively short time?

Thankyou for this very informative site.

Hi Salman:

When used properly, for many people, yes. You should consider trying clay baths with sea minerals as well. if you read the book I wrote, you'll see that many people have experienced wonderful results with clay therapy. For others, it take alot more work to restore health. The guiding principle is that clay works WITH the body to improve health. When you responsibly "fast" with clay and cleanse the digestive system, the body often starts to respond as if given "new life".

Subject: Re: My 3 day experience

Thankyou for your reply. Yes, I will definitely introduce clay baths into my detox regimen. I have already ordered a high quality shower filter. However, I'm finding it difficult to find a rebleepedble supplier here in the UK for the clay, one that can guarantee it's purity and the source for it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

For the first time in many months, I have discarded the use of my Asthma Ventolin inhaler. I think your book is going to be on my 'must have' buy list for this season.

Subject: Confused!

I've started taking the bentonite and psylium. I mix a tbs of bentonite into water really well, then add the psylium and stir well and drink...... The post above shows a picture as if you stirred it and let it sit for a while to a non-drinkable consistency. Exactly how long do you wait before drinking?

Hi Mark:

The picture is just presented as an example. You need to make sure your psyllium/clay is well mixed, and simply drink PLENTY of water to avoid constipation.

I took a couple tsps of clay bentonite, and one tablespoon Psyllium whole husks with water (but didn't let the psyllium expand first). The results I've had is my stomach feels bloated, and anything I have eaten since the I took the pb shake seems stuck inside, like the comment I read earlier. Has anyone found a solution for this? I've drank a lot of water, but am taking it easy on the veggies till I can get moving again. I would very much appreciate any advice that I haven't been able to find yet.

Hi Louise:

For individuals experiencing bloating, etc., more education is required. You should consider using a good edible clay without the psyllium, or increase your magnesium intake. You may need to drink ALOT of water; consider lemon water or other cleansing concoctions. One thing to consider is taking at least two grams of vitamin C with each an every meal in powder form (mixed in water). You also may need to work on healing the micro villi in the small intestine. A high quality aloe vera juice can help with this.

Subject: side effects of bentonite

Hmmm, interesting. So, apparently, one can feel sickish after taking bentonite clay. I've only taken it three days, a tablespoon at a time, and today I feel like I have a mild case of the flu. I've wondered if it might be from the clay, but most people don't seem to have such a reaction.

I've had a mild headache, nausea and not as much energy as usual. Has anyone else had this sort of reaction?

Hi Jolli, i just read your coment, its perfectly normal to be feeling the flu type symptoms as the clays are working at such a deep level that they are clearing out years of stuff. In my experience not only have i had the flu like symptoms in the past but also random old memories popping up, its all part of the healing process and its an excellent sign its working
Well done all you detoxers!!! x

Yes Jolli, I'm feeling the same flu-like symptoms after 2 days of bentonite and psyllium. Also, my instructions were to take it at night with 2 cups of water... so I've been up using the bathroom 3-4 times for the past two nights! That may be where my lack of energy is coming from, but I also have a little bit of an upset stomach. I'm going to try taking it in the afternoon today instead of at night. I see your question was posted in Sept. Hope you've remedied your problem by now.

Subject: Re: side effects of bentonite

Hi Jolli:

Usually, clay acts to reduce detox symptoms in cleansing programs, but not always. Reduce dosage to 1 tsp., and increase water consumption. Usually, it's liver congestion that is the problem. The solution is doing clay packs over the liver. Most people won't consider doing this, so the second option is to increase consumption of fresh lemon water, and fresh herbs to gently cleanse the liver. If brain fog is associated, then freshly chopped cilantro a few times a day can help as well.
