"Because the clay requires no modern processing it has become a popular and cost-effective way of detoxing the body. Unlike activated charcoal that binds with toxins physically, Bentonite clay binds with toxins electrically. When the clay touches any type of fluid (normally water), it takes on a different charge causing it to bind to substances with a different charge."
"Aflatoxins are bound best by activated charcoal and bentonite clay. Tricocethenes are bound best by activated charcoal, but cholestyramine, pectin, charcoal and bentonite clay can help. And gliotoxins are bound best by betonite clay."
"These two are both binders (like Charcoal and Pecta-Sol), but they're a little bit stronger. If taken too much or too fast they can cause a toxin dump that only flares up symptoms, so I put them into the Medium Category.
Bentonite is a light grey colored clay that consists of volcanic ash called "Montmorillonite." Because of this it contains a high amount of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, and potassium. On top of that it has the ability to absorb and remove toxins, heavy metals and impurities from the body. It comes in two forms: 1. A powder you need to mix into 8-16oz of water and drink 2. A pre-mixed ready to take liquid that you mix a tablespoon of into about 4oz of water. It comes down to preference, but they both do a great job. This is a stronger detox than charcoal, but not too strong."
"In regards to detox, bentonite clay can be used in a variety of ways. First, you can dissolve it in water and drink it. Ingested, it acts as a toxin binder, soaking up endotoxins from Lyme and mold, heavy metals, and other undesirable materials."
