Detoxing with Zeolites

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

A chemical reaction between salt water and lava for what we call zeolites. Zeolites have special structures that are cage-like with open channels and spaces. These open channels allow molecules and ions to move easily into and out of the structure. These type of materials are also called molecular sieves.

Zeolites are one of the few negatively charged minerals found in nature. This negative charge allows them to attract and trap into them positively charged atoms, ions, and compounds and can remove them from a system. Zeolites can trap heavy metal toxins which have a positive charge and expel them from your body.

Research has shown that zeolites remove lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and other heavy metals. Zeolites actually help to balance the pH level in our bodies. Having a balanced pH level stabilizes the immune system.

For over 800 years, zeolites have been used in Asia in it\’s powdered form traditionally to promote overall health and well being. Most zeolites are natural. They are non toxic and safe for long term use. The US FDA has given zeolites the status of GRAS (generally recognized as safe.

Unfortunately, we are unable to escape from the exposure of heavy metal toxins. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Being in the 21st century, we now like to apply more chemicals to our bodies to make ourselves fit in and smell nice. Be careful choosing your products.

When choosing zeolites to detox your body, read the product info to make sure that the product is cleansed of all the original heavy metals and toxins. You are not in any danger of absorbing these toxins, but it doesn\’t leave much room to absorb your toxins into it.

Try to follow these guidelines when choosing zeolites for detox. The zeolites should be natural and not synthetic. They need to be chemically washed or \”activated\” as it is also called to remove the toxins already in it. The zeolites should be suspended in water and no other substance. If anything else is added it could further contaminate the zeolites. The reason you are taking zeolites is to detox your body and no other reason.
