Bendonite Clay for the Removal of Graphene Hydroxide from the Body

Article by Dr. Axe: Bentonite clay - How It Works https://draxe.com/nutrition/10-bentonite-clay-benefits-uses/

Please go to Dr. Axe's site and read the whole article if possible for instruction.Bentonite clay benefits your body in several key ways:

It helps to 'expel toxins and heavy metals.

'It has antibacterial properties and fights off various pathogens responsible for disease, such as E. coli and the virus that causes staph infection.

It contains a range of nutrients. Bentonite clay is known to have an abundance of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron and potassium.

It nourishes skin/hair by balancing oil production, removing dead skin cells, clearing clogged pores, and fighting bacteria.

BC can help to reduce the negative effects of toxins that we encounter everyday, such as those given off from paint, cleaning supplies, markers, substances used in building homes, low-quality unpurified water, and even pesticides.

BC essentially “seeks” toxins in the body to bind with due to its chemical composition. Then it acts like a magnet and sponge, absorbing harmful substances so they can be removed from the body.

While in its natural state, bentonite clay has negatively charged molecules. Most toxins and heavy metals have positively charged molecules. This allows the two to bind together easily and stay united while the toxin removal process happens.

“Heavy metal toxins” usually refer to substances like mercury, cadmium, lead and benzene. Upon binding, BC is able to help remove meats, toxins, chemicals and impurities from the gut, skin and mouth.

Additionally, it’s used to reduce the presence of toxins in the food supply and animal feed.

Some people also choose to use BC as a supplement, since the clay is a natural source of important dietary nutrients. When ingested into the body, either in a drink form or by eating the clay, its vitamins and minerals are absorbed similarly to how a supplement would be.

Bentonite clay is a wonderful,' natural' pond sealer. Just because it seals ponds naturally, does not mean it is not good for you or not ingestible.

I would only share what I have read, and to state I have used it on and off for decades without noticing any "sealing" effects of my internal system, lol. It's not so much as an "agent" persay, and I would claim it's more properly described as a natural negatively charged absorbant raw earth material, and from what I have experienced being exposed to bentonite is that the sealing results from expansion and not bonding, as the word sealing sounds like its sticky, but it's not. The articles below stating that pond sealer is sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite is used for health was something I had gleaned several decades ago and completely forgotten, after I had researched it before starting its use internally. Diamatatious earth and zeolite are a couple other types of raw earth materials that operate in a similar fashion in the body, and I notice heath benefits from all 3 mined products in different ways after decades of use, or so I believe. I'm glad you brought the question up, as I didn't remember about sodium bentonite being a natural pond sealer alternative, and as such, I now have another organic landscape tool available to me in my toolbox (if I can remember it when I need to use it). Thanks! 🙏😁
