Hello [ removed ], and thank you for
writing.
I am very familiar with Kinesiology.
First off let me say that it has scientifically been demonstrated that it
is impossible for bentonite, consumed orally, to have a direct action upon
the kidneys, as bentonite is considered by science to be an inert substance
in the body... We believe this may not be the case if one uses very large
amounts of bentonite daily over long periods of time, and even then the end
effect on the kidneys would be only through a very miniscule amount of tiny
clay particles that reach the bloodstream, and henceforth, the kidneys.
Second, Kinesiology is both an art and a science. If the practitioner
did not query further than the clay use caused a problem with the
kidneys, he shouldn't be practicing kinesiology. Kinesiology
can be very misleading unless the practitioner is very talented with asking
questions, and being able to isolate precise information. I am very lucky
in that I know such a practitioner!
There are several possibilities to consider. 1) The clay is acting as a catalyst
in the body, which is indirectly causing a load on the kidneys. If this is
the case, then the problem does not lie with the clay, but
is the result of another cause, and kinesiology should be able to clarify
this.
There are numerous possibilities with this scenario, including an adjustment
in the body's PH levels via clay use, which can then lead to a chain of events
that can cause an extra load both on the liver and kidneys. It is also possible
that the stimulation of the body's elimination system can produce an increase
in the effectiveness of the immune system, as I'm sure you've observed many
times in the past during cleanses. Through cleansing, the body sometimes
begins to address latent infections, and the cleansing process itself can
add a temporary burden to the kidneys.
It is remotely possible that the clay you are using is high in iron content,
and your friend may have a rare intolerance for iron.
Raymond Dextreit in Earth Cures recommends a whole regime to support organ
function along with internal clay use; while this is a wise practice, it
is certainly, in my experience, not absolutely necessary.
These are just a few ideas that "came to mind" when you described
the situation. I would suggest to your friend that it would be interesting,
revealing, and possibly quite beneficial, to isolate the exact nature of
the problem, which would demystify the whole issue... However,
she will ( in my humble opinion ) have to address the issue with ANOTHER
kinesiologist, as it is not impossible for a practioner to inadvertantly
skew results based on an emotional attachment to the outcome. When I personally
practice kinesiology with another person, for example, I will only address
an issue one time only ( I don't consider myself an expert practitioner ).
It would be interesting to know, as well, if it might be the type or brand
of clay being used...
At any rate, there are too many unanswered questions to definatively say,
one way or the other!
If you do find out further information, please let me know, as I think it
would be very interesting. There is always something to be learned.
Kind Regards!

Further Notes
Over the years, I've received reports
of some of the most ridiculous "diagnosis" and "opinions"
spouted by Iridologists, self-styled nutritional experts,
and Chiropractors.
In one case, a very famous "shoot from
the hip" type raw diet advocate diagnosed a condition
of heavy metal poisoning
caused
by a desert healing clay, by utilizing iridology. Of
course, confirmation of the "diagnosis" would have
been a very
simple matter.
Concerned, I investigated further. All
of my research, which has been validated by real scientific
testing, indicates that oral clay use of an uncontaminated
clay results in a reduction of heavy metal presence
in the body.
I countered that in order for clay to
cause heavy metal toxicity, there would have to BE
metal in the clay; this seemed too simple of a concept
for the individual to grasp.
Eventually, I obtained a Gas Spectrometer
Analysis of the clay in question, and confirmed that
no metals were present in the clay at all ( the clay
isn't even an aluminum silicate, and contains absolutely
no metal presence ).
If the individual indeed has a build
of heavy metals in the colon ( which I hesitate to
give credence to ), then the contamination either had
to have occured from another source, or the clay was
mishandled.
The raw food advocate to this day misguides
his clients, stating that use of such clays delivers
heavy metals into the body, whereby they accumulate
in the colon. The individual actually believes that
volcanic clays pose this risk as apposed to sedimentary
clays... In fact, quite the opposite is true. Sedimentary
clays are far more likely to be contaminated with metals.
The wise and discrimenating individual
should be cautioned on following such ill-placed advice.
Everyone
seems to think that they can practice artforms such
as Iridology and kineseology, but my experience is
that it is a rare individual who truly
has a gift and an aptitude for using such tools. As
they say, a little bit of knowledge is dangerous.
