Terramin edible clay The cause of many illnesses and diseases is directly related to the accumulation of toxins that our bodies are not able to eliminate. Many, many health complaints are symptom treated and often the toxic body is overlooked. When the body is overloaded with toxins, the organs cannot function at their optimum. Our immune system weakens, we become tired, and then we start treating symptoms.Terramin edible clay
Instead of waiting for disease and illness to occur, there are safe and effective alternatives that will keep the cells, tissues and organs cleansed on a daily basis, which in turn will strengthen the immune system. Neva Jensen - "The Internal use of clay for ulcerated or irritated conditions of the stomach, bowels, colon or bladder can give noticeable relief. Over-acidity in the tissue of these organs can be corrected with the use of clay."
What Is Detoxification? In simple terms, it is the process where the human body cleanses itself from the inside out of accumulated wastes we encounter each day and releasing them thru the elimination channels of the body. The liver, spleen, kidneys, bowel, lungs, skin and lymphatic system performs this function on a daily basis, providing the diet is good and the body is healthy. Terramin edible clay

If the diet has been less than high quality, it is most likely the organs cells and body systems are functioning less efficiently as they did when we were children. calcium montmorillonite clay Over the years as toxins accumulate, they block the body's ability to absorb nutrients from the food we eat. The body's natural process of detoxification becomes sluggish and the waste cannot be eliminated properly, often leading us to the various health challenges we experience.
What Are These Toxins From? Toxins come from many, many sources. A few of the most common sources include: ** Drugs and pharmaceuticals

For more information on the uses of clay, as well as some history and summaries of controlled studies and research, the books THE CLAY CURE and THE HEALING POWER of LIVING CLAY are interesting reads. THE CLAY CURE includes information on specific uses of edible clay for chronic and common ailments, discusses how clay works and some scientific background. Also, the book Clay Minerology by Grim Ralph (2nd edition) expands deeper into the subject. CYSTS - Ganglion cyst - Ran Knishinsky was diagnosed with a ganglion cyst on his wrist. His doctor gave him 2 options - Surgery to remove it or "eat clay minerals." Ran chose to eat the clay containing earth minerals, with the intention of clearing the problem at the source as opposed to the surgery to remove it for the time being. After eating clay, Ran watched his tumor completely shrink over a 2 month period until it was completely gone. This is most likely due to the strong ionic charge of the clay, which binds to toxins or poisons which build up and crystallize in a particluar area of the body (in this case - the wrist). Ganglion cyst - I just wanted to share the good news. It's only been just under three weeks that I've been taking the clay and my wrist has improved dramaticly. I have almost full range motion in my wrist and the pain is down to minimal. Terramin has saved me from the risks of surgery and spending thousands of dollars. I'll be doing pushups and playing my guitar again very soon! I couldn't be happier! 12/9/06 Dave S. Naples Florida Sebaceous Cyst - I bought the Terramin Clay in early March. Shortly after receiving it I was scheduled to see my Podiatrist for and ingrown toenail. At the appointment, I had shown her a lump on the inside of my right ankle. She determined that it was a sebaceous cyst (the size of half a golf ball!) She had told me that she could excise it surgically on another visit, and that in time, it could present problems by pressing on nerves, and creating numbness. I had been eating the Red DesertTM Terramin Clay for about a week prior to the first appointment. Two weeks later on a follow up visit for evaluating the removed ingrown toenail, I had discovered that the cyst was gone! So in just 3 weeks of using this wonderful natural product, I am not worrying about having to have the ankle surgery! Thank you Maryanne for your website, and your wonderful product! 4/07/07 Cathy D.

How Does This Calcium Montmorillonite Red DesertTM clay work? It is best if the calcium montmorillonite is a high quality clay to be most effective. Look for a high negative ionic charge to pull out those toxins…..the ionic charge is measureable….and the clay must be rich in essential minerals and trace elements, in a highly absorbable form. The Terramin for example, contains more than 60 of these essential minerals and trace elements. Terramin
When ingested, each tiny, tiny particle of this clay, remains in an alkaline state retaining its electrically active, negatively charged ion. The toxins in your body, which are positively charged, magnetize to the negatively charged ions in the clay. These tiny clay particles surround and bind to each toxin holding them in a colloidal state (suspended) until they leave the body through the waste elimination process, gently cleaning out that which does not serve the body. Terramin
In addition, it is also among the highest and richest natural form of absorbable essential minerals on the earth, and has been around for centuries, right here on Mother Earth. Also, ingesting the clay has an indirect positive effect on the liver by facilitating the cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract and removing waste, bypassing the liver and general circulation.

Research On Desert Clay There is documented research on the beneficial effects of calcium montmorillonite clay when eaten by animals in the wild, cattle, poultry, fish, birds and so on. The following is a quote from the book The Healing Power of Living Clay by Neva Jensen. Terramin
"Of possible pertinence to the above is the report by Cooper that - Keepers in the Baltimore Zoo routinely supply to the kangaroos three to four pounds of red clay per week as a dietary supplement. In discussing this with the administrative and veterinary staff of the zoo they said it is common knowledge among zookeepers that kangaroos in captivity are liable to develop lesions in the mouth, which are more or less comparable to canine black tongue. When this condition in the kangaroo is discovered very early, it can be treated successfully by the administration of the B-complex (untreated, it is rapidly fatal) but it can be avoided entirely by supplying red clay to the animals regularly."Terramin
NASA Sponsored Research The beneficial effects of minerals in the premium calcium montmorillonite clay have been documented in research and controlled studies conducted by many scientists and leading universities including UC Davis in California and Texas A&M University as well as the Institute for Biological Research. One such study was conducted by Dr. Benjamin H. Ershoff, Phd. (Physiologic Effects of Dietary Clay Supplements) This was NASA sponsored research prompted by evidence that astronaut's bodies lose large amounts of calcium from their bones under conditions of weightlessness. Dr. Ershoff's studies found that supplementing the diet alone couldn't reverse the damage of severely accelerated osteoporosis but the premium calcium montmorillonite clay did. When a small percentage of the clay was added to the diet, Ershoff said, the animals body weight increased and bone diseases were prevented. Little or no benefits were noted, he said, when calcium alone was added.
How Much premium calcium montmorillonite clay should I use? This depends on your health, and is really an individual choice. Some people have a cast iron stomach, so to speak, others have very sensitive systems, and others have cancer. Follow your intuition and you will know. You can start with as little as 1/4 tsp and increase to 1/2 tsp or more. Some people eat clay by the tablespoon, however the minerals in the Terramin clay are readily absorbable, so more is not necessarily better. With Diarrhea, frequent dosages are often given for a day or so, until the condition corrects itself. It is suggested that the clay be taken on an empty stomach for best results, however it is fine to take at any time. Drink plenty of water. Ran Knishinsky who wrote The Clay Cure – Natural Healing from the Earth, started taking the clay when he was diagnosed for a "ganglion cyst" – a cystic tumor usually connected with a joint or tendon. After taking the clay day in and day out for two months the growth shrank until it was completely gone. Along with taking the clay, it is just as important to be aware of what you are eating, the water you are drinking, and the thoughts you are thinking. All can be toxic to your body. Terramin
Why Are The Minerals Important? The body cannot manufacture its own minerals. We've all heard the stories about how mineral and vitamin depleted our soils are; and yet these minerals and trace elements determine the nutritional value of what we eat. Without minerals the body will die. A deficiency of minerals will create a whole host of problems in the body. Remember, trace minerals are essential to animal and human health. "Trace"should not be interpreted as insignificant. The following is an excerpt from THE CLAY CURE by Ran Knishinsky What would happen if your body lacked the essential minerals it needs? Here are some minerals and the beneficial role they play: Calcium: essential to the formation of strong bones and teeth.

My Story ~ I would prefer not to focus on my past history, for my life and future are much more exciting. But for those who ask, here is a brief story of my recovery. I spent a lifetime, almost 30 years with much illness and "unhealth." I am now 48. I've lived with severe IBS, systemic candida, pre cancer in the liver, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic acne, 20 years of back pain, arthritis, allergies, bulimia, hypoglycemia, diabetes II and migraines….to name a few. It took way too long to restore my health, because I did not know that my body was toxic and overrun from the accumulation of antibiotics, junk food and depression. With all that I knew and tried, it never seemed enough. When I changed my diet to organic food, took herbs, vitamins and homeopathic remedies, I was still always tired and ill. All of these were very good things to do, but not very effective at the time, because my body was so toxic and weak it was unable to digest, absorb or assimilate the foods and supplements etc. So, I nibbled on bits of chocolate throughout the day to keep myself "perky" enough so I could work, raise my children and appear successful to the rest of the world…until I was too weak and tired to get out of bed. A few years ago, I found myself in the hands of a wise, experienced holistic medical doctor who knew how to get to the root of my health crisis. Using many diagnostic tools, including dry and dark blood analysis, I began the detoxification process to cleanse out the massive load of toxins in every organ and then the rebuilding of my body. The road to recovery took over 1.5 years and many, many, many thousands of dollars later, my energy, vitality and enthusiasm for living had returned. I also gained a wonderful education (self-taught) on how I got into such a physical mess in the first place. Nowadays, to maintain my health, I eat organic food (most of the time), drink pure water, and use herbs, and vitamins as needed. I daily drink water with premium calcium montmorillonite clay in it aka Terramin to assist my body in cleansing out the toxins taken in from daily living i.e. car exhaust, plastics, pesticides and so forth. This clay also gives me a daily dosage of the essential minerals and trace elements necessary for optimum health. So, I share my story. I wish everyone a life filled with love, laughter and joy. You deserve it! Terramin
