Eytons' Earth: Natural & Alternative Medicine

[indoracer]

I have taken a teaspoon of bentonite daily (mixed with psyllium) in the past for about 4 days straight. After taking one teaspoon I feel "spaced out" and confused. After taking it for a few days, I start to feel and look very sick and the confustion seems to get worse. I usually stop taking it on the fourth day because how bad I feel.

I noticed something strange when I would take it for more than one day. My mouth would become very dry and have a clayish taste all the time. I am wondering if somehow the bentonite is getting absorbed into my blood stream. Has anyone else had an experience simliar to this. I am using Yerba Prima bentonite, and their psyllium husk. I mix one teaspoon bentonite with one teaspoon psyllium in a tall glass of water. I take it on an empty stomach and drink only one shake per day.

The people at Yerba Prima told me they haven't come across people that have a constant clayish taste in their mouth when taking it.

Greetings!

If you actually were adsorbing enough clay into the blood stream for a taste to occur, you wouldn't be alive to notice it!

While some believe it is possible for tiny [ minute ] bentonite/smectite particles to be adsorbed into the blood stream-- under very rare circumstances ( ref: Raymond Dextreit ), the rare circumstances are extraordinary good health supported by a perfect diet.

What is more likely is a detoxifcation reaction. In such a case, diet changes and diet support are called for when using clay internally. I recommend that you find a copy of the book "Earth Cures" by Raymond Dextreit.

I personally would endevour to find some clay to do clay baths with.

Using the 3 days on, 4 days off, 4 days on, 3 days off... treatement protocol, the effects should subside. However, you'd likely achieve better results if you look at your diet, and make some adjustments; specifically, plenty of fresh lemon water, garlic and olive oil to support cleansing.

Best Regards

Thanks for the fast reply. I notice that if I take it in the morning (as opposed to before sleeping) the side effects I mentioned seem to be a lot less.

Also look at iamperfectlyhealty.com or the petalternative.com. i take the calcium montmorillonite internally. There is alot of great info. on these sites and the owners are wonderful

Having taken sodium bentonite and now trying calcium, it really hits me heavily for many days and i also get the taste in mouth, but i am going to stick with it.
I have appreciated this forum, and am going to try half teaspoon dosages instead of tablespoon and see how it goes(i'm hoping that the lesser amounts can build up a tolerance).
Will post on any progress i make!

I think another thing that might make you feel bad when taking clay or psyllium is not drinking enough water drink at least 8-10 glasses ESP WITH PSYLLIUM
