Books on Healing Clay & Pelotherapy,
and Balneology
No holistic or natural medicine book collection is complete without
a good selection of materials on natural clays. Why? As an example,
there is a great depth of information in Raymond Dextriet's "Earth
Cures" that cannot be found anywhere
else, some of it having very little to do directly with clay and
earth.
Pelotherapy is an incredibly unique discipline. It is almost
as if,
by virtue
of
being
involved
with natural earths, a creative genius is forced to emerge to rise
to challenge of finding new understandings of human health and our
relationship to the natural world.
The personal stories in "The Clay Disciples",
by Cano Graham, truly describe such miraculous experiences. The
written material rings with an authenticity that is very rare in
the modern medical and alternative medicine world.
Learn about Gandhi's experience with using natural clays for healing
in "Clay Cures", by Anjou Musafir & Pascal Chazot. Anjou
and Pascal do a fantastic job documenting the historic use of clays,
and all readers will no doubt appreciate their tone of honesty throughout
the work.
Every single "clay
disciple" has, at one time or another ( and sometimes on many occasions
) been shocked into silence by experiences with using natural earths
for human health.
Perhaps you may wish to undertake your own unique journey, and discover
the power of working directly with therapeutic earths:

Available for Purchase via Amazon
Books on healing clay are
available via Amazon books. While Raymond Dextreit's "Earth Cures" (
our personal favorite by far ) is currently out of print, it
is often available used.
While
Raymond Dextreit sets the standard, readers should remember
that Dextreit did not have to deal with many critical issues
that have arisen in matters of health-- due to environmental
toxicity-- over the last 20 years. Clay therapy is continuing
to evolve to meet these new challenges.

Clay Cures
- Anjou Musafir & Pascal Chazot
Includes a chapter on Ghandi
|
Anjou Musafir and Pascale Chazot
have done an excellent job in writing this uniquely useful
text. However, we please ask
that readers review all of our sections, as we don't quite agree
with everything that is presented. As an example, we do not believe
that clay should be cleaned and reused. At times, Pascal and Anjou
also write outside of their realm of experience; this practice
can sometimes lead to unintentional errors.
Cano Graham has written an excellent experiential
book that truly presents the miraculous properties of healing clays.
This text is a must have for any clay healer book collection.
Cano is singularly the most dedicated clay proponent I have
ever met. |

Roy Mankovitz has produced a bold and unique treatise on a bluerpint for health, built upon research conducted for over 25 years, and based upon a scientific approach to developing nutritional habits based on successful human eating habits in the Paleolithic Era. The Wellness Project includes an excellent section on using clays and other earths for detoxification and nutrition. This is a must read for anyone struggling with health problems due to toxicity.
Michel Abehsera has done an excellent job in presenting
a shortened, clay-specific version of Earth Cures. However, we
feel that Dextreit's
original text is better, as we don't agree with some of the editing
that has been done in the new manual. |

Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith presents advanced theories on clay as the origin of life. His work can be very technical but a 'clay library' is incomplete without his works.

Jordan Rubin and Joseph Brasco, MD, have truly
presented a remarkable book on restoring digestive health. Their
"Guts and Glory" program includes the use of edible clays, and there
is a small chapter dedicated to the topic. |

...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."
