Eytons' Earth: Natural & Alternative Medicine

Dear Jason and all,

my cat has been vomitting on and off recently (which is rare for her) and the vet said confirmation if the cause is worms/parasites can only be made in about a month when eggs appear in her stool. so meanwhile i have been giving her Red Desert Clay water.

(Red Desert Clay, i have been assured, is the exact same thing as Terramin. The seller of the Red Desert brand says she's a distributor/reseller of ion-min/Terramin and chose to repackage it under her own label)

i never know the right proportions to mix for an ailing cat (and perhaps you can give me some advice here too) so i just use about half a tsp of clay and add enough water to make an opaque brown flowy liquid, and syringe that into her mouth. comes up to about 1.5ml of fluid.

but my more important question is this:

your site and many others expounding the benefits of calcium bentonite/monmorillonite clay refer to the GREEN SWELLING variety. my
Red desert clay is the NON-SWELLING type, although it has ph 8.3 and is "active" in ion exchange.

now...i don't entirely understand HOW clay works to rid the body of intestinal parasites and worms, and perhaps you can explain it to me, but will my clay be just as effective as the green swelling variety? is the swelling property necessary to somehow absorb and bind the parasites? or is it ok as long as the clay creates an alkaline environment with negative ionic charge where parasites cannot survive? and then am i making the clay water thick/thin enough to HAVE this negative ionic charge?? how long does it take for parasites to be killed off? do they really come out visibly in your stool???

hope you can help this clay newbie out here

very sincerely,
adelynn
