Toxemia: Poisoning either as a result of undue retention of body waste or of the end products of metabolism or digestion, creating an overacid condition.
J.H. Tilden, MD has written a book, Toxemia Explained wherein he states,”According to the Toxin Philosophy, every so-called disease is a crisis of Toxemia; which means that toxin has accumulated in the blood above the toleration point, and the crisis, the so-called disease-call it cold, “flu,” pneumonia, headache, or typhoid fever-is a vicarious elimination.
Nature is endeavoring to rid the body of toxin. Any treatment [drug] that obstructs this effort at elimination baffles nature in her effort at self-curing.”
“The chain of symptoms range from cold or catarrh to Bright’s disease, tuberculosis, cancer, syphillis, ataxia, and other so-called diseases; all, from beginning to end, symptoms of the cumulative effects of crises of Toxemia.”
Max Gerson, M.D. in his book, A Cancer Therapy,(now called, The Gerson Therapy) states that the specialization of research and medical practice may be an outgrowth of the microbe theory of disease. Some call it the “germ theory”. The idea is a germ comes around, you catch it and then you become ill. The converse is that your body becomes toxic and your organs are damaged to one degree or another and the whole illness is a manifestation of the condition of your body.
Dr. Gerson goes on to explain,” cancer is not specific. It is a degenerative condition of the total metabolism, including damage to the liver and all essential organs, which then makes it possible for cancer to develop. Similar damage also precedes other chronic diseases.”
“All degenerative diseases, such as mental diseases, arthritis, hardening of the arteries, heart (coronary) diseases…. all show liver damage.” He points out that “the beginning of all chronic disease is the loss of Potassium (K) from the cells and invasion of Sodium (Na) into the cells-and with it water. “
This causes edema and the resulting malfunctions-loss of electrical potentials in the cells, improper enzyme formation, reduced cell oxidation, etc. ……..The building of almost all enzymes requires K(potassium) as a catalyst (activating agent) and is inhibited (slowed or stopped) by Na(sodium). The extent of these malfunctions then determines how and to what extent the system is affected and where the symptoms will occur.”
“In order to initiate healing , it is essential to remove excess Na from the cells, re-introduce large amounts of K, and detoxify the system of accumulated intermediary substances and other toxins. This is best accomplished by large amounts of K from fresh fruit and juices, detoxification through the kidneys and by enemas, and reactivation of the liver by special liver therapy. “
If this were only a theoretical assumption, it would not be worth mentioning. However in Dr. Gerson’s many years of experience with all types of chronic disease, this process worked in practice. Degenerative diseases could be reversed, eliminated , and the body healed.
C. Samuel West, D.N., N.C. , in his book, “The Golden Seven Plus One” explains that all the tissues and organs of the body are made up of cells. In order to have any type of disease of any kind we have to damage the cells. He points out that every cell generates “an electrical field”.
It is an actual “electrical generator.” The thought wave is electrical. The energy coming from the eyes is electrical. In essence, the human body is an electrical being, and our health, strength and endurance depend upon the energy currents that run through the body.
To keep the “electric generators” going, Dr West says, (1) the cells must have oxygen to convert glucose into energy, and (2) the potassium (K+) inside the cells must remain high and sodium (Na+) inside the cells must remain low.
If too much water gets on a crop, it will damage or kill the crop. The same thing hold true with the cells. Anything that will produce excess fluid and excess sodium around the cells will cause them to “drown” from lack of oxygen and will upset the delicate sodium-potassium balance in and around the cells.”
To have healthy cells we need a “dry” state where there is no excess fluid around the cells, only enough fluid to fill the crevices around the cells, and that is all.
Even under normal conditions, the normal pressure in the blood stream causes the blood proteins to continually seep through the pores of the blood capillaries into the spaces around the cells.
There is not enough pressure in these spaces to push the blood proteins back through the tiny pores of the blood capillaries. Therefore, the lymph system must continually remove blood proteins and return them to the blood steam.
If the lymph system completely fails to function and the blood proteins get trapped throughout the body, they will produce the conditions that cause deathwithin twenty-four hours. and trapped blood proteins can cause death in just a few hours.
He goes on to say how we can learn to untrap blood proteins by keeping them cirulating in the body via the lymhatic system by”Lymphasizing” and by eating correctly and thinking correctly so we won’t trap blood proteins in the first place.
He is a huge advocate of using a well constructed MINI-TRAMPOLINE. (I notice a huge difference using mine.) He says we must learn the techniques of the physical, mental and nutritional laws that are necessary to keep the blood proteins circulating.
A medical doctor is trained in a pharmaseutical college that teaches him how to treat symptoms of an illness. A wholeistic health practicianer is trained to look at the cause of illness;
Toxemia- And you have it.

Dr. John R. Christopher has written a booklet called Three Day Cleansing Program that is extremely helpful in getting the body well. If your body is toxic and undernourished it can’t heal itself. In this booklet he details a three day juice fast and a mucous-less diet and 4 herbal formulas that will put you on the fast track to healing. The booklet only costs $2.50. You can order it from a Dr. Christopher site or many herbal stores including The Herb Shop.
In addition to the booklet information Dr. Christopher has a formula that used to be called the B&B tincture. It has also been called the Black Cohosh tincture combination:It contains: black cohosh, blue cohosh, blue vervain, scullcap, and lobelia. This is used to aid in nervous conditions and an aid to restoring malfunctioning motor nerves and assisting in adjusting poor equilibrium and a great blessing to epileptics. Massage into the medulla (base of skull), and upper cervicals. take six to ten drops in a little water or juice two or three times a day.
Dr. Christopher also suggests that with an eye dropper insert into each ear at night four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of the B&B tincture, plugging ears overnight with cotton, six days a week, four to six months, or as needed. On the seventh day, flush ears with a small ear syringe using warm apple cider vinegar and distilled water half and half.
I also remember in one of the books I read or from a video lecture of his that he suggested if you are feeling a seizure coming on that you take several drops under the tongue and that it would stop the seizure.
On Dr Mercola’s site he has an article about epilepsy or other seizures and has the information that is taken from the book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing which has some great information. The site is listed below:

I believe Dr. Christopher’s program will supply you with the nutrition and cleansing that you will need in order to assist the body to heal itself.

Dear siblings that have skin cancers, Nancy asked me about the iodine that we use for skin cancer. It is called Lugol’s iodine at seven percent and has to be ordered from out of the country. She also asked me where she could read about it and I wrote out the chapter from the book below:
The book costs $100.00. It is called, Cancer is a Fungus by Cimoncini. We have the book that Cory’s sister bought for us.
I have a feeling that might be a little pricey for you so I’ll copy the chapter about skin cancer from the book, so here you are:
“All skin cancers are always caused by Candida fungus which has adapted itself to metabolizing the most proteinaceous constituents of the epidermis and that can, therefore, only rarely be treated with sodium bicarbonate solutions.
The treatment to choose for epithileomas, basaliomas, and melanomas is iodine solution at seven per cent, as it is capable of precipitating the proteins of the body of the fungus and destroying them completely in a short time.
If the lesions are fairly small, they must be painted with the solution 10-20-30 times twice a day for five days and then once for another ten days so that they become very dark. When the eschar is formed and it is higher than the epidermic plane, it is necessary to continue to paint under and above it, even if at first this causes a sharp pain.
This very same operation must be repeated for the second eschar that is formed. At this point, the lesion may be considered destroyed, because after the third cycle it is possible to reach the center of the neoplasia, where the colonies try to resist to the last.
In the presence of a tumor of large dimensions it is necessary to perform a cycle of subcutaneous infiltrations with sodium bicarbonate at five per cent solution under the lesion for the purpose of liberating the tissue from the possible invasion of the deep planes and of the basal lamina before performing the treatment with iodine solution.
If this is not done, we risk the fungus, once destroyed at a superficial level, defending itself by trespassing into those levels where a conclusive action of the iodine solution is impossible.
In cases where the tumor has invaded a cutaneous-mucous area with bicarbonate and then, after the elimination of the colonies existing there, proceed to treat the cutis with iodine solution.
It is appropriate to highlight that the same type of therapy is also to be applied to psoriasis and to the known fungin afflictions.
In fact, the difference between cutaneous mycosis, psoriasis, and tumors consists only of a variation of aggressiveness and thus of the depth of rooting, since the causal agent is always the same: a fungus. Sometimes other corrosive salts can be sued as a function of the location in the body for the therapy. What is certain is that dermal ointments and lotions ar only rarely effective.”
That was all there is in the book about skin cancer specifically, that was the whole chapter.
I thought you also might be interested in a little something that has helped me.
In James Cox tapes he tells of a spiritual practice that you can go to when you experience extreme pain.[Cory says this treatment is quite painful] Cox says you should go to the garden of Gethsemane when you experience pain and get a glimpse of the pain that Jesus went through for us.
Imagine that the pain you are feeling is a tiny bit like what he went through for us. He said then we should go into a space of gratitude of what he went through for us, a blessing of feeling exquisite pain to get a glimpse of what he went through.
He mentioned when he smashes his finger in the door it becomes a spiritual experience as his mind and heart visit the Garden of Gethsemane and feels the great pain which is only a tiny bit of pain compared to what Christ did for us.
I also do this when I experience emotional pain when someone does something that hurts my feelings, etc. I remember that Christ paid for not only my sins, but the offender’s as well.
I love you so much, Nancy,
I hope this helps, let me know.

Several years ago a friend of ours told us about cesium chloride for cancer. Please go directly to this website to read all about it. It is one of the therapies I would seriously consider doing if I had cancer.
http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Alkaline.html
I would highly recommend reading this website to see the difference between using calcium chloride which the website points out is highly superior versus calcium carbonate that was used a long time ago. They both do similar things to the body but calcium chloride is stronger and more effective.
If you read the article you will see that if you don’t monitor the potassium levels in the body that severe electrolyte imbalance will occur and can affect the heart amongst other very serious problems. You need to have a professional that works with cancer therapies and cesium chloride that knows what he is doing to help you through this whole protocol. ( Doctors generally don’t have any clue about the benefits of cesium chloride and the thousands that have been cured using it and how to deal with the problems associated with cesium chloride.)
I am listing some problems you can have from this website that explains what happens if you don’t have the appropriate amount of potassium in the blood by either taking too little or too much potassium.
The Importance of Potassium in the Blood (i.e. Serum or Plasma)
A quote from the University of Maryland:
* “Hyperkalemia is an excess of serum potassium. Most potassium in the body (98%) is found within cells; only a small amount usually circulates in the bloodstream [i.e. the serum]. The balance of potassium between the cells and the blood is critical to the body. It affects the way the cell membranes work and governs the action of the heart and the pathways between the brain and the muscles. If you have excess potassium in the blood, it is usually excreted by the kidneys. However, the levels can get too high if your kidneys aren’t working right, which is the most common cause of hyperkalemia. Another cause is damaged cells’ releasing potassium into the bloodstream faster than even normal kidneys can clear it. Medications or diet may also affect the amount of potassium in the blood. Hyperkalemia is a serious condition that must be treated promptly.
http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsConditions/Hyperkalemiacc.html
Here is a quote on what cesium chloride does to potassium in the body of a cancer patient:
* “Some patients on cesium develop evidence of potassium depletion so serum potassium needs to be monitored along with uric acid blood levels. Any alkali therapy changes the ph of the body toward a more alkalotic state. This causes movement of potassium into cells [i.e. which depletes serum potassium] which may result in low serum potassium values. This movement of potassium into cells means that a person can become seriously depleted of potassium even if there is no diarrhea or vomiting.
http://www.newswithviews.com/Howenstine/james14.htm
In other words, cesium chloride does not drive potassium out of the cancer cells, rather it drives potassium into the cancer cells, thus reducing blood serum potassium levels. Potassium must be supplemented to the cancer diet to increase the amount of serum potassium. However, if the serum potassium get too high, then hyperkalemia can result. It is this delicate balance of serum potassium that forces a cancer patient to have their serum potassium level checked every couple of weeks. Kidney damage can result if serum potassium gets too high, but drinking high levels of water generally takes care of this problem.
Symptoms of hypokalemia (too LITTLE serum potassium) include:
* “… fatigue, muscle weakness and cramps, and intestinal paralysis, which may lead to bloating, constipation, and abdominal pain. Severe hypokalemia may result in muscular paralysis or abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias) that can be fatal.”
http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/potassium/index.html
Symptoms of hyperkalemia (too MUCH serum potassium) include:
* “… tingling of the hands and feet, muscular weakness, and temporary paralysis. The most serious complication of hyperkalemia is the development of an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia), which can lead to cardiac arrest.”
http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/potassium/index.html
In other words, both hypokalemia AND hyperkalemia can lead to muscular weakness and abnormal heart rhythm. While these are strong statements, getting your potassium level checked every 2 or 3 weeks should easily give you the ability to keep your potassium in a safe range (by making slight adjustments if your potassium levels get slightly above or slightly below the normal range).
Warning:
You should have your blood uric acid, electrolytes, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium levels checked at least once every 2 or 3 weeks, even if you take the recommended dosage of potassium. The potassium may become too high or too low or the magnesium or calcium levels may become too low!! Uric acid levels, which can damage the kidneys if they become too high, rise due to the amount of DNA released by the dead cancer cells. At 3 grams of ionic cesium chloride a day, it is unlikely the uric acid levels will rise very much, but if they do the drug Xyloprim can take care of the problem. Furthermore, hypokalemia (too LITTLE potassium in the blood serum) and hyperkalemia (too MUCH potassium in the blood serum), can lead to a dangerous irregular heartbeat! Contact your physician if increased fatigue, irregular heartbeat, or significant blood pressure changes occur during treatment.
It is also important to look for TRENDS in potassium levels. For example, suppose your first reading for potassium is 4.5, and 3 weeks later it is 4.3 and 3 weeks later it is 3.8 (these are actual numbers from a cancer patient). All of these are within acceptable ranges. However, if this TREND continues, the next reading will not be within acceptable ranges. If you see a trend like this, then you should immediately increase your dose of potassium or increase your consumption of foods that are high in potassium (see below)!! Of course, if the trend is going up, and is about to go off the chart, then you should reduce your dose of potassium (see below). Generally, however, if the dose does need to be changed, it needs to be increased.
You can see that using cesium chloride can be dangerous if you aren’t experienced and the expert that is helping you isn’t aware of all the problems that you might encounter using this protocol.
This form of oxygen therapy is very effective and is a great alternative cancer therapy!
I was asked what someone should do if they have reoccurring problems with Gout. First of all, Gout is a common type of arthritis that occurs when there is too much uric acid in the blood, tissues and urine. It is caused by wrong eating habits and poor diet and especially eating too much red meat.
In people with gout, the body does not produce enough of the digestive enzyme uricase, which oxidizes relatively insoluble uric acid into highly soluble compound. As a result, uric acid accumulates in the blood and tissues and, ultimately, crystallizes.
Elevated levels of uric acid can be an indicator of poor kidney function.
When an attack of gout strikes, eat only raw fruits and vegetables for two weeks. Juices are best. Frozen or fresh cherry juice is excellent. Also drink celery juice diluted with distilled water-use distilled water only, not tap water. Blueberries, cherries, and strawberries neutralize uric acid and have antioxidant properties, so eat lots of them. Also include grains, seeds, and nuts in your diet.
Herbs that are especially helpful in eliminating Gout would be Alfalfa, Aloe Vera, Burdock, Cayenne, Chaparral, Comfrey, Kelp, Juniper, Yarrow and for pain and inflammation use Valerian Root, and White Willow.k
When uric acid has been retained in the system, Juniper has been found to be very beneficial by preventing the crystalization of uric acid in the kidney, thus, retaining it in solution to be passed in the urine.
Diet: Fresh Fruit, Vegetables, nuts, grains and seeds, cut out dairy and refined foods. Juice Fasts, mostly vegetarian diet green drink, carrot juice. No red meat, sugars or refined foods.
Filed under: Skin and Nail problems | Tags: brittleness of nails, darkened nails, dry nails, fungus under nails, hangnails, nail problems, rounded and curved nail ends, splitting nails, white bands across nails, white spots on the nails
My sister asked me the other day what she could do about her splitting nails. My Mom used to have that problem and used Knox gelatin taken internally.
I found this information:
Nail problems, any changes or abnormalities, are often the result of nutritional deficiencies or other underlying conditions. It is said that nails can reveal a great deal about the body’s internal health.
Here is a list of some of the changes in the nails and nutritional deficiencies that caused them:
Hangnails: caused by lack of protein, folic acid, and vitamin C.
White bands across the nails: also protein deficiency
Dryness and brittleness: lack of vitamin A and calcium
Fragility, with horizontal and vertical ridges: deficiency of B vitamins
Excessive dryness, very rounded and curved nail ends, and darkened nails: insufficient intake of vitamin B12
“Spoon” nails (nails that develop a concave shape) and/or vertical ridges: Iron deficiency
White spots on the nails: Zinc deficiency
Fungus growth around the nails: Lack of sufficient “friendly” bacteria in the body
Splitting nails: a lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid (HCL) Also, cuts and cracks may indicate a need for more liquids. Two tablespoons of brewer’s yeast or wheat germ oil daily helps with splitting nails and or hangnails.
It has been suggested that soaking your nails about 10 to 20 minutes a day in olive oil or apple cider vinegar will strengthen your nails.
Important nutrients that can help clear up the nutritional deficiencies would be:
Acidophilus inhibits harmful bacteria that causes fungai infection
Rejuvelac also introduces friendly bacteria for digestion (recipe is on this site)
The neat thing about the herbs I’m going to suggest is that not only do they have vitamins and minerals that you need but they also detoxify the system.
Yellow dock is especially good for nails, it provides calcium, iron, potassium and many B vitamins and vitamin C and many other minerals. It is a great blood purifier and cleanser and improves colon and liver function.
Two great Hair, Skin and Nail herb combinations would be:
1. Kelp, Dandelion, Alfalfa
2. Dulse, Horsetail, Sage, Rosemary. (Horsetail or another name for it is Shavegrass that has natural silica that converts into calcium in the body)
These formulas are high in minerals for improvement in hair, skin, and nails
You can buy a large container of Alfalfa tablets at the Health Food store put out by Bernard Jensen that will give you vitamins, minerals as well as enzymes to help digest your food. I take as many as 12 a day and also notice added energy and better digestion and bowel function.
Filed under: Urinary Tract Infection | Tags: marshmallow, urinary tract infection
My sister called me yesterday and informed me that she had found an herb that cleared up her urinary tract infection. She found that if she used marshmallow for a couple of days that it cleared it right up. She took 10 medium capsules in the morning and then 5 capsules at lunch, 5 at dinner and 5 at bedtime. The soothing effect of marshmallow took care of the problem! I use marshmallow root whenever I use marshmallow but she only had the leaves and she said it worked with the leaves.

There is a very simple and effective combination of herbs to quickly equalize blood pressure.
Cayenne, garlic, that’s it, take a capsule of each after each meal
-These herbs help to strengthen blood vessels and equalize blood pressure.
-Helps dissolve plaque in arterial walls.
-Aids veins to regain elasticity.
-The cayenne (capsicum) has an immediate beneficial effect on the heart and then strengthens the rest of the circulatory system. (See also Hawthorne)
Case History out of How To Herb Book by Keith and Gordon
L. had high blood pressure. She started taking 2 capsules three times a day of combination #1 (cayenne, garlic). She has had no more high blood pressure problems since then. She was able to get off her blood pressure prescription medicine.
According to Prescription for Nutritional Healing glaucoma is a group of diseases that affect the optic nerve and can lead to irreversible vision loss. It is usually, but not always associated with elevated fluid pressure within the eye. All forms of glaucoma can cause damage to the optic nerve and lead to vision loss, even blindness, if left untreated.
I was recently asked what can be done naturally for glaucoma. I’ve looked it up in several of my herb books and this is what I have found.
This first one that I am listing is probably what I am the most excited about because so many times we think a disease is caused by one thing and it is just a symptom for the main distress in the body. I really think this is an exciting option and it seems especially good because of it’s ease in purchasing and preparing and it would be painless to take.
It is in the book Heinerman’s Encyclopedia Of Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs by John Heinerman. He suggests the formula of the famous Austrian herbalist, Maria Treben.
“Maria Treben issists that glaucoma is not an eye disorder, but rather a definite malfunction of the kidneys instead.
A tea should be made, she observes, from equal parts of stinging nettle, yarrow, calendula and shave grass, and 2-3 cups consumed each day. Bring 1 qt. of water to boil, add these herbs, cover and simmer for 7 minutes; then remove and steep another 45 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey before drinking.”
In addition to drinking her tea daily I would drink 1 quart of freshly made carrot juice daily.
You can stop reading here and just try the Maria Treben formula or perhaps you might want to keep reading and combine some of the other ideas with Ms. Treben’s formula.
In Dr. Christopher’s books.
In Dr. Christopher’s book, Herbal Home Health Care, he says,” in many cases the cause is “the weakness of the parents being handed down to the children.” The excessive use of salt can cause loss of vision, as explained by Viktoras Kulvinskas in Survival into the 21st Century.
The overuse of sugars leaches out the calcium from the veins in the eyes. Wearing glasses all the time keeps the sunshine filtered out of the eyes and this is a great loss, because the sunshine is a great doctor. However, never look directly at the sun. Glasses should be used only when absolutely needed, and the rest of the time go without them.”
Herbal Aids:
“For a child with cataracts or glaucoma, near-sightedness, farsightedness, eyes off-focus, use the recommendations (1 quart of carrot juice daily and a healthful diet and leave off all harmful foods and drinks as contained in the book, Eat To Live); also, add the eyewash routine as follows. This formula is excellent for brightening and healing the eyes, and it has been known in some cases to remove the cataracts and heavy film from the eyes.
Preparation
1 part bayberry bark
1/8 part cayenne
1 part eyebright herb
1 part golden seal root
1 part red raspberry leaves
Make this into tea form and put into a glass eye cup. There will be a slight burning sensation (from the cayenne) in the eye at first, but there is nothing to be concerned about. [I have tried this before and it hurts much more than he suggests, however, I don't doubt that if you could brave it out it would be highly beneficial.] Tip head back and apply the eye cup to eye. Exercise eye while doing this as though you were swimming under water. do this three to six times a day. Drink 1/2 cup a.m. and p.m.
He suggests additional treatments would be “using eye exercises (Bates method, etc.) The less television that is watched, the better the eyes!”
He also suggests using zonal therapy (reflexology), working on zones #2 and #3 on the toe area as explained in the book Stories the Feet Can Tell by Marguerite Ingham.
Next, I looked in The Little Herb Encyclopedia
In The Little Herb Encyclopedia Jack Ritchason N.D. suggests using two herbs. One is Chaparral, a very powerful blood cleanser. Many universities have tested Chaparral and found it an aid in dissolving tumors and in fighting cancer. It is also able to cleanse deep into the muscles and tissue walls.
It tones the system, rebuilds tissues and is a very effective healer, cleanser for the blood. (the blood is what directly feeds the optic nerve)Chaparral also relieves pain, has increased ascorbic acid levels in the adrenals and has vasodepressant properties. To make a tea out of chaparral, add 1 tsp of the herb to 1 cup of boiled water and put a lid or dish over the cup until it has cooled about 20 minutes. Strain and drink.
The other herb suggested in Ritchason’s book is eyebright . For centuries, Eyebright has been depended upon as a herb of choice for various diseases of the eye.When Eyebright’s volatile oil is applied in the eye, it becomes activated by sunlight to work on the cornea, ciliary muscle, iris, ligaments, lens retina and optic nerves. This then, strengthens and soothes these areas, often improving eyesight and has also been used to both retard and reverse cataracts.
Next, I looked in Prescription for Nutritional Healing.
Phyllis and Dr. James Balch suggest some nutrients to aid in the problem of Glaucoma.

I think it is exciting that you don’t have to take anyone’s word that the damage is permanent. Every part of our bodies regenerate completely every seven years. Our bloodstream can completely regenerate and be cleansed every 90 days.
I always like to look up in the book Feelings Buried Alive Never Die… by Karol Kuhn Truman the mind/body connection to what we might be thinking and reading her opinion of which thoughts are contributing to our illness. Many other cultures teach that our minds and our bodies are connected in a way that many of us can’t imagine. Think about when you get scared you get a stomach ache. Anyway, if you are open to this I would highly recommend going to a bookstore and reading what Ms. Truman says about glaucoma!

Many years ago I heard about a clay in the earth called Bentonite. I was fascinated to read about the cleansing effects in the body that this clay brings. My husband got real excited about it when we were first married and drank it. That seemed kind of extreme to me at that point in my life! Now, I am so excited about it I have shared it with old ladies for insomnia and to babies with diaper rash.
Bentonite can be obtained at most health food stores. Aztec clay is bentonite that has been cured in the sun for 8 months and is thought to be superior to regular bentonite. In speaking with one of the owners of the redmond clay company, he thinks their clay is superior to bentonite. I have used all of the clays and found all of them helpful for what we have used them for.
My husband has had a skin cancer on the top of his head. He used black salve many times on it and it has kept coming back. This time he softened it up for days alternating with baking soda, DMSO, and aztec clay and then applied the black salve. It responded much better and the healing seems to have gone down deeper into the body. We are hopeful that it might be taken care of this time.
A dear lady in a nearby town was having difficulty sleeping. She asked me what to do about a yeast problem that she had been suffering with for years. I didn’t realize she had been having difficulty sleeping also. I took some aztec clay over to her house and put a teaspoon of it in water as we visited, etc.
After about 3 hours I had her drink half of the water without stirring it up right off the top. She said it didn’t taste bad at all. I told her to stir it up at bedtime and drink the whole thing as we have done many times in the past. She called me the next morning and told me the yeast problem was tons better and that she had the best night sleep she can remember! I was so happy for her!
My son with Down’s Syndrome that is 17 has acne quite bad with the hormonal changes and the treats that they so kindly give him at school. I have tried so many different things and either I haven’t been consistent enough or he is a tough case. I’m open to either scenario. Anyway, I started having him drink a teaspoon of clay to ten ounces of water that has set for about a half of a day and I have been applying a paste on his face until it dries and then we wash it off. To make the paste I just add enough water to make the consistency of glue in a bowl and let it sit overnight with a plastic bag over the bowl so it won’t dry out.
In my Redmond clay booklet it says, “Acne: To use Redmond Clay for acne, you simply apply a thin layer on the face, and wash it off before it is totally dry. Many local teenagers have called it “Zit killer”. An insurance agent from Brigham City got some Redmond Clay for his teenage daughters. They loved it because it worked better than any of the drug store medications.
A 15 year old boy had been using the Redmond Clay on a regular basis for his complexion and had no blemishes at all. Then he went on vacation and campiing trips for three weeks. After three weeks without using it, his face was full of blemishes especially along the hairline of the forehead. He used the Redmond Clay for two weeks and was completely blemish free.
A 16 year old boy who had a very bad complexion used the Redmond Clay for 6 weeks. His complexion had cleared up and looked so good that people thought he was taking the medicine acutane.
The Aztec clay was purchased at The Good Earth Health Food Store in Ogden on Riverdale Road. They suggest just using it topically. I think it is because of the FDA so we use it as we want to, anyway. Redmond clay can be purchased by dialing the company at 435-529-7402. You can also contact Neal Bosshardt with questions by emailing him: nealb@redmondminerals.com
