jbird, I'm having difficulty understanding how any inert substance can effectively remove something with the inherent ferocity of a 'hot particle' from an organ of the body.
Are you able to explain the process, or direct us to appropriate explanation of how this works?
Tnx

Neither Clay nor Zeolite are inert. An inert substance is chemically stable and does not readily combine with other substances. That is not the case with either clays or zeolite. You might try to google "healing with clay". Here's one random website that I found that provides a simple explanation:
http://aboutclay.com/info/how_clay_works.htm. Note, I have not used any of the clays that are referenced on that particular website. For more detailed information and some credible references to particular sources/brands of clays you might try:
http://www.eytonsearth.org/. The clays that I have used include pascalite, terramin and some clay that I paid somebody to mine for me about 10 years ago.
Clays and zeolites can certainly draw particles out of the digestive tract. Having radioactive particles, and even heavy metals that are not radioactive lodged in the wall of the digestive tract causes inflammation, creates a bacterial imbalance and destroys the lining of the digestive tract.
My understanding is that zeolites have some ability to circulate throughout the body and bind with certain toxins. Clays are also known to be effective in removing toxins from other areas of the body as well. Furthermore, if you are able to remove the toxins from 1 area of the body, then toxins in other areas of the body will migrate from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration.
Zeolite works in a similar way to clays, though it has a different molecular structure.
Still, heavy metals, radioactive particles and other environmental toxins are difficult to remove and most likely needs to be done over a period of time and there can be some unpleasant symtoms during the process, especially if it is done too rapidly.
I'm not claiming that these two things alone are 100% effective at removing anything. They are only 2 of many hundreds (or thousands) of things that have helped people.
Clays were used by many indigenous cultures including Native American Indians. In Japan, when the nuclear bombs were dropped, people who ate large quantities of Seaweed and Miso did not get sick from the radiation. Those that did not eat these foods did get sick.
Whether anyone understands the science of why these things work or not, they have been shown to work experientially. At one point there was a website that posted some articles and videos that mentioned specific foods, herbs and supplements and which toxins, including radioactive isotopes, they could remove. Unfortunately a controversy arose around the material that was published and everything was removed from the website.
