Detoxing Cheaply and Easily from Zeolite to Calcium Bentonite Part 1 of 2

Dear Subscriber,
I have an interesting and immediately useful report for you today. Several years ago, many of you might recall the splash of a network marketing company that pushed zeolite onto the scene. Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral with a unique s cage like structure that enables it to attract and trap toxins in the environment. The beneficial attributes of zeoplite in this process is not just limited to the marketers of the products. It is also well published in the conventional literature. Here is the conclusion of one report:
The physical–chemical properties of ZC are essential for the absorbing characteristics or ion-exchange, and therefore, for its therapeutic potential. Indeed, the rock mixtures that constitute the natural mineral form complexes of aluminum and silicon which allow the formation of cavities inside where inorganic and organic polar or metal ions are deposited or exchanged. This exceptional ion-exchange capacity, as well as the surface area, are improved with micronization processes, in particular with the tribomechanical micronization processes used for TMAZ or PMA-ZC. In particular, thanks to PMA technology, ZC is activated and its absorbing capacities increase. ZC, in general, is known as an environmental decontaminant and specific TMAZ and PMA-ZC have found multiple applications in the last 20 years. The most important is its oral use for supplementation in humans. Environment decontamination from heavy metals derived from industrial waste or from organic molecules derived from intensive farming is essential for biological ecosystems. Due to the binding capacities, ZC has been generally used in the zootechnical field for water purification and decontamination, contributing to the improvement of livestock health. Furthermore, environmental contaminants accumulate throughout the food chain and are therefore part of foodstuff. For this reason, PMA-ZC is studied and used for oral supplementation to bind toxic substances such as ammonia or heavy metals in the milieu of the gastro-intestinal tract. Furthermore, PMA-ZC is capable of improving the ecosystem of intestinal microbial flora. Based on the data collected on animal models and on a few clinical trials, it can be speculated that the general state of wellbeing generated by ZC, and in particular by TMAZ and PMA-ZC, is due to its detoxifying, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action in the intestine. Indeed, recent findings of the importance of the gut microbiome in the regulation of immunity and its interconnection with the central nervous system could at least partially explain the results obtained using animal models treated with PMA-ZC. ZC could purify the internal environment of our body, maintain gut microbiota homeostasis for healthy brain activity, improve the antioxidant and endogenous anti-inflammatory activities thereby improving the overall wellbeing of the patient. Despite all this, still, only a few studies have defined the molecular mechanisms underlying the positive effects of all ZC. Furthermore, several important questions are still unanswered: What is the molecular mechanism that increases the antioxidant activity of SOD and GSH in experimental models treated with ZC? What is the translational value of the action of ZC on β-amyloid levels? Is there risk of reducing the contribution of mineral salts due to the ion exchange action of ZC? Finally, is there remote danger of ZC crossing the intestinal wall?
In conclusion, preclinical research on zeolites was not aimed at finding a new drug, but a food supplement that can improve lifestyle and be combined with traditional pharmacological treatment. In fact, recent evidenced suggested a promising detoxifying role of ZC in the removal of toxic metabolites produced by drugs chronically administered during chemotherapy, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases. However, new and extensive research will be needed to explore all the potential benefits that ZC and other specific modified ZC can produce on human health.
This article went through some of the mechanisms of zeolite. It may be a wonderful heavy metal detox.
