Questions & Comments

Q: Are there any precautions when using the Clay if someone is taking prescription medications?

A: If you are under a physician’s care for a chronic ailment, taking life-supporting pharmaceutical medications or medications containing metals, please consult with your health care practitioner prior to using Clay. The Clay can pull the metals from your body and reduce the efficacy of these life-supporting pharmaceutical medications. Perry A.

Q: How safe is it to continue ingesting Clay over a long period of time?

A: Clay works best when taken over a long period of time. That’s because its actions are subtle. Like a snowball rolling down the hill, it starts off small and slow. As it continues to roll, it soon picks up momentum and goes faster. Clay does not offer instant cures for all ailments, but history shows it can encourage the body to put up a better fight when taken over a long period of time.

When Clay is taken for indefinite periods of time, it has no addictive qualities. This is a big concern for many who begin eating the Clay. The effects can be so positive that it scares them into thinking they might need it forever. However, one can quite eating Clay at any time. There are no withdrawal symptoms. Perry A.

Q: Is this something I’ll have to take the rest of my life?

A: You can discontinue any time, but why not take something that is good and will help clean out your body? Especially in today’s highly-polluted world, the liver and kidneys are so overworked they never have a chance to rest. Taking a spoonful of Calcium Bentonite Clay every day helps keep the mind and body functioning at optimal level. Perry A.

Q: I understand that sometimes when the body begins to cleanse itself, the symptoms become worse before they get better. Will this happen when ingesting the Clay?

A: As part of the healing process, the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in the body over the years. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you may experience a healing crisis.

You may feel worse before you feel better. As you continue to improve, you may begin a process called retracing. For example, if you used to get skin rashes, the rashes may appear or get worse for a period of time as your body eliminates toxins through the skin. You may also experience an initial increase in urination, or you may feel more nervous. In actuality, you are not getting worse, you will reach a plateau of better health. Perry A.

Q: What is the procedure that you used to help get rid of spider veins using the TLClay? Do you apply it in a paste at night? Do you let it dry and then put on socks? I also have them around my ankles and would love for them to diminish or disappear.

Answer: The procedure is so simple . . . First make sure you get the right Calcium Bentonite Clay for your treatment . . . most preferable is the Pure powder form and mix it yourself with water until you get a creamy form suitable to apply a layer that stays there.

Second . . . Wash your feet & ankles with warm water by scrubbing your ankles with soap to get rid of any oily surface on the skin.

 Third . . . Apply Clay around your ankles with a layer about 2 mm thick. Make sure that all areas with spider veins have been covered. You may even spread more Clay around them in non-infected areas on your feet and ankles. I do not recommend using socks. Just leave the area uncovered to dry. The only thing to do is to wear shorts or whatever leaves your ankles fully exposed.

 Fourth . . . Leave the Clay to dry. It may take a maximum of 5 to 10 minutes according to climate and thickness. After the Clay is dry, leave it for about 15 minutes and re-wet it by simply dipping your hands in warm water and smoothly (very smoothly) massaging the area with Clay (not for real massage, but just for wetting the Clay again ) and repeat again. This session may take about 45 minutes. I usually spend it either reading or watching TV, but don't usually sleep with Clay on my ankles although there is no harm in doing so. After the session, wearing socks or not in this case makes no difference. After you are done, wash with warm water and that's it.

I do this daily. You hopefully will start getting results from the fifth session or maybe the fourth day depending on the case. It works best if you use distilled water. Perry A. Note: We recommend using your Prill/Cosmic/Stirwand water for this procedure to enhance its effects.

Q: I'm interested in knowing more about how I might treat my 2 cats and 1 dog for parasites, and other possible needs. What type of clay and what dosage? Anon.

A: Clay is so good for pets and ridding them of internal parasites. You can put some powder clay in their water, but it mostly sinks to the bottom. A neat trick is to get a syringe (without the needle) and suck some of the premixed clay water (1 to 8 ratio of clay to water) into it and hold them and gradually inject it into their mouth. You can't do clay wrong, so don't worry about how much, though for kittens a teaspoon would be fine. Bigger pets more. Do it every other day for a week. Then off a week and on a week for several months to get the unhatched parasite eggs out.

Usually you will notice white specks in the feces, and your pet will be friskier. You can brush their teeth with clay also, and of course use it on cuts and rashes topically. Good for horses too. We recommend the Living Clay but Pascalite might work equally well. The Living Clay has a high pH and is milled very fine. Since it swells to three times its mass, it has more volume for drawing out impurities and toxins. Perry Smith

Q: I read your book, Living Clay. It's fantastic, and I have just started using the Clay, which I got from Libby. I just had a couple of questions that I need to clarify. I don't particularly want to take psyllium husks if I don't have to. I have started the clay, and I don't seem to have a problem with being constipated. I am drinking plenty of water. It's just that I was told by somebody who has been on Bentonite before that you need to have the psyllium as otherwise it can remain in your bowel and cause problems.

1. Do I have to have the psyllium or will I be fine without it?
2. If I am taking Chinese herbs, should I wait 4 hours to use the psyllium?
3. I have just been diagnosed with gastritis . . . how much liquid Bentonite should I take?
Looking forward to hearing from you. H.D., AUS

A: Remember all clays are different. I have been taking this clay daily for about six years with no problems, only benefits. Possibly the other clay was a very gritty clay, therefore, the precaution. If you should choose to take the psyllium husks with the clay, after a week pause a few days and rebuild your intestinal flora. Otherwise, just keep on keeping on with clay.

This Clay is very good for any kind of intestinal disorders. It has a 9.7 pH, and it is a BALANCER for the body. As for as the herbs . . . I am sure it will depend on the function of them. If you have a doubt, wait a few hours so there is time for the body to absorb one before taking the other.

Whenever I have had gastritis or any intestinal problems, I would start with an ounce of Clay water twice a day, and over a couple of days build to three times a day. If you are still having symptoms, increase to 2 oz 3 x's a day. Thanks for sharing your concerns. Remember, this is no ordinary clay. Enjoy your clay experience. She is a magnificent lady of amazing results. Perry A~

A Solution for Bedsores and Diabetic Sores

Pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers are a serious problem for our elderly bed-ridden population. Weak and immobile pressure points develop in areas that support most of the body's weight and the constant pressure cuts off the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the area necessary for healthy skin and tissues repair.

Bedsores (pressure ulcers), also known as pressure sores or decubitus ulcers, result from prolonged pressure that cuts off the blood supply to the skin, causing the skin and other tissue to die. The damage may occur in as little time as 12 hours of pressure, but it might not be noticed until days later when the skin begins to break down. The skin is especially likely to develop pressure sores if it is exposed to rubbing (friction) and moving the skin in one direction and the body in another (shear), as in sliding down when the head of the bed is raised. Dampness (such as from perspiration or incontinence) makes the skin even more liable to develop pressure sores.

 The solution is calcium Bentonite clay straight from Mother Earth's Pharmacy. So what is this clay and how can it help?  Living Clay is an all-natural and very pure calcium Bentonite clay evolved from volcanic ash. In other words, it is the core of Mother Earth with all the impurities burnt out. Nothing is left but tightly-bound trace minerals with a strong electromagnetic charge that resonates to stimulate circulation, blood flow and oxygen to rebuild damaged tissues and cellular repair. Clays have a strong negative ionic charge and are considered a very powerful drawing agent. It is a catalyst that works with the body.  In addition, Living Clay has a 9.7 pH and is homeostatic. It works with the body to bring about balance and equilibrium.

It is a natural detoxing and cleansing agent. It draws toxins, viruses, molds, fungi, chemicals, heavy metals and even pesticides and poisons from the body through internal and external means.  The beauty of clay is that it holds and binds what it draws and then carries it out of the body. The cleansing effect is very gentle, yet it can pull out old dried fecal matter that has lodged in the colon that hinders the absorption of nutrients, vitamins and even medications. In addition it will draw out many parasites and carry them out of the body.

Topically, clay's drawing power pulls blood flow, circulation and oxygen necessary to heal ulcer wounds. Clay can and has stopped many needless amputations from diabetic ulcers. Most women have had a clay facial and experienced the firming and tightening as the clay dries and pulls out impurities and removes the dead skin cells, revealing a soft and glowing skin.

Pressure ulcers can be treated two ways; as a poultice or just apply the dry powder clay directly on the wound several times a day.

An important fact to know about clay is that all clays are different in their mineral composition and what they will accomplish. Since most clays have been used for commercial purposes, they may not be a pure, clean grade. For information on selecting a clay go to www.AboutClay.com for the article Criteria for Selecting a Quality Healing Clay.

Freshen Up

Sprinkle Dry Detox Powder Clay in your shoes at night to absorb the odor from wearing shoes with no socks in the summertime. The bottom of the feet have large sweat glands that contribute to summertime stinky shoes. Also sprinkle clay in your pet's sleeping area. And, of course a dish of dry powder clay in an old refrigerator that has been closed and unused for an extended period of time will deodorize it.  

The Clay Cure

When clay is consumed, its vital force is released into the physical body and mingles with the vital energy of the body, creating a stronger, more powerful energy in the host. The natural magnetic action transmits a remarkable power to the organism and helps to rebuild vital potential through the liberation of latent energy. When the immune system does not function at its best, the clay stimulates the body's inner resource to awaken the stagnant energy. It supplies the body with the available magnetism to run well. Clay is said to propel the immune system to find a new healthy balance and strengthens the body to a point of higher resistance."

Naturally absorbent and extremely gentle on the system, clay can treat ailments affecting digestion, circulation, menstruation, and the liver, skin, and prostate. Clay also remedies symptoms of arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, gum diseases, and migraines. The Clay Cure contains complete and up- to-date information on choosing the appropriate type and form of clay, how and when to take it for your specific complaint, the science and history of ingesting clay, and the value of minerals contained in the many varieties of clay.

Ran Knishinsky says that he eats clay everyday, that it is part of his diet. He never skips a day without eating clay. On page 95 he suggests the following : infants: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon (in a bottle), Small frame: one teaspoon, Medium frame: one heaping teaspoon, Large frame: one tablespoon.

Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, manganese, and silica as well as trace elements-those appearing in very tiny amounts. Without the basic minerals, life cannot exist; without the trace minerals, major deficiencies will develop. The lack of either will make it impossible for the body to maintain good health.

The Clay Cure by Ron Knishinsky

The Wonders of Living Clay

Healing with Mother Nature

The need to eliminate heavy metals and other toxic chemicals from the body is a life-long activity, thus it behooves us to find the most natural and effective way to do that.

The secret to safe and effective medicine (maintaining good health or returning to it) is caught up with the question of how to fix what ails us without suffering side effects from the medicines we use. What you are about to read is the anti-thesis of the called-out arrogance of the all-powerful officials at FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). In September of 2006 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published a scathing report castigating the FDA leaving no doubt that the culture there is antagonistic toward safety concerns.

Five Element Healing . . . On one end of the medical spectrum we have a special form of human arrogance that thinks nothing of using poisons on men, women and children and on the other are humble substances so low to the ground they are the ground. Pure substances of wood and earth are the very first line of defense in our fight for health, detoxification and chelation. The most basic healing protocol that functions to detoxify and chelate the body of heavy metals consists of primary substances from the basic elements.

• Water Element: First there is pure water. The water element is more than an absolute necessity in medical treatment, it is life itself.

• Earth Element: From the earth comes calcium Bentonite clay which has a healing detoxifying power unequaled in the world of medicine.

• Wood Element: From wood we have activated charcoal, which is often made from burning the shells of coconuts.

• Metal Element: Magnesium is the most needed mineral as is selenium and zinc

There is no healing system more powerful than that which employs Nature’s primordial substances, materials so pure and close to nature that they yield benefits without the typical side effects of most medicines. This chapter is mostly about the healing and medicinal properties of calcium Bentonite clay which shares many similar characteristics as activated charcoal, which is more effective than clay is for acute poisoning and acute stomach or intestinal upset. Certainly both of these substances should be in every medicine cabinet.

The earth is our mother and has given us part of her in the form of natural medicines to fix what ails us.

Our exposure to general chemical toxins in the environment is only going to get worse, thus any reasonable and cost-effective method that reduces concentrations of toxic metals and other poisonous chemicals in the human body will find great use in the 21st century (the Age of Toxicity). Our world has never been as toxic as it is today, and it will be even more toxic next year and the year after that. No one can maintain a totally pure state, but we can approach medical treatments with an intelligence that will protect from most harm and disease.

In the 21st century the center of pharmacology needs to be shifted away from medicines that add to people's already heavy toxic burdens to medicines and protocols that reduce these burdens.

Inasmuch as mercury is omnipresent in the environment, as are a host of other chemicals like lead and halogenated hydrocarbons (halocarbons) from the plastic industry, it is virtually impossible for humans to avoid exposure to a growing list of chemicals that are mixing together in our bloodstreams and cells. Thus, there is a need for detoxification protocols that increase daily elimination for healthy people as well as chelation protocols for adults and children who have been devastated with mercury and other chemical poisoning.

The Detox experience can be made much easier, shorter and more effective.

An astonished gathering of the French Academy of Medicine watched as a pharmacist named Touery downed one grain of strychnine (10 times the lethal dose) without any noticeable ill effect! A few years earlier in 1813, another Frenchman swallowed a whole teaspoonful of arsenic trioxide, about 150 times the amount that would have killed most people. He also lived without ill effect. Why? Both of these men had mixed the poison with finely ground charcoal, which has a phenomenal ability to hold poisons from being absorbed by the body. The form of charcoal used in modern medical science is Activated Charcoal U.S.P., a pure naturally-produced, wood charcoal carbon that has no carcinogenic properties. Activated Charcoal is an odorless, tasteless powder. One teaspoonful has a surface area of more than 10,000 square feet. This unique feature allows it to adsorb large amounts of chemicals or poisons. The powder must be stored in a tightly-sealed container, as it readily adsorbs impurities from the atmosphere.

Activated charcoal has many uses and is one of the principle ways people filter poisons from the water they drink. It is extremely effective for acute poisoning but does not have the deeper more rounded healing properties of pure clay.

Calcium Bentonite Clay is effective for many ailments. It will remove from the body impurities, including bacteria, fungi, parasites, chemicals, toxins and even help resolve viral infections. It has been used extensively in the treatment of pain, open wounds, colitis, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, constipation and intestinal problems, acne, anemia, and a variety of other health issues. Just about everything unhealthy, everything impure, is irresistibly attracted to clay and becomes subject to immediate elimination

Introduction in Newsletter

• Since I first met Mark Sircus, he has raved about the benefits of Bentonite clay and encouraged me to add it to our product line. This morning I reached agreement with Perry Smith from The Living Clay Company, and we are adding her Bentonite clay products to our website. Today, we added a four ounce jar of hydrated clay, a 1 pound jar of dry powder clay and a 4 pound jar of dry powdered clay. As time permits, we will add several more of her products and will start publishing information about the many ways to use the clay. This is one of the very few clays that is suitable for both ingesting and for soaking in a bath. To learn a great deal more about the uses of clay, you might want to check out the website www.AboutClay.com.

• Now, drum roll please, we are announcing the availability of the full line of Living Clay from Perry Smith. These products are made from the most pristine calcium Bentonite clay available on this earth. Taking a line from Perry, she says “Living Clay is a very rare California desert clay that has been protected from contaminants and leaching by the climate. This clay deposit was sealed away and isolated from the natural elements by a cap of zeolite minerals for forty-three million years. Because its adsorptive properties have not been compromised by air or ground water contaminants, this highly charged Calcium Bentonite Clay has tremendous drawing power.”

I first learned about Perry’s calcium Bentonite clay over a year ago from Dr. Mark Sircus. He just raved and raved about this wonderful clay, but I never got around to checking into it. Well, lo and behold, Perry’s company is just down the road from us and, as a bonus, she is a delight to know. We share almost identical views about business ethics and an intense commitment to our members and customers. Her integrity and commitment to service is a delight and a role model for us. We first picked up just a few of the Living Clay products, but when Dr. Bill Deagle of Nutrimedical.com fame called and asked me to carry the full line so that he could refer customers to us, we took the plunge and now carry the full product line. Well almost full line . . . we don’t yet carry the 500 pound container. But if you want it, we can get it for you quickly.

Newsletter Notes

• There is SO much to learn about Calcium Bentonite Clay and, as of this very evening, Perry has made that a lot easier. About an hour ago I took delivery of my first stock of her new book Living Clay – How to Cure 101 Ailments with Calcium Bentonite Clay. That title is not an idle claim . . . I saw at least that many as I thumbed through the book just now. Some of them are quite amazing . . . like tattoo removal, nuclear radiation detoxification, varicose veins, diverticulosis, age spots, Rosacea and IBS to name just a few out of 101. When you learn more about the clay, you are going to be sorry if you missed this opportunity.

• Last night, at 1:00 AM, I started reading Perry Smith’s new book, Living Clay, and I could hardly put it down. Perry has a real down-to-earth writing style that I can relate to. I only got 20 pages into the book, and I know that I must finish it. I decided to carry the clay based on the strong recommendations of Dr. William Deagle, MD, and Dr. Mark Sircus, Ac., OMD, but now that I am learning much more about the clay, this very special kind of clay, I feel so fortunate to have made the connection with Perry Smith and her Living Clay. This line of products will be a permanent part of the our catalog for the long haul. I want to sincerely recommend that you at least get a copy of her book, Living Clay, and then you are going to want to make clay a major part of your health regimen. I just can’t stop saying and thinking WOW! How could I have missed learning about clay until now?

• Last weekend, I had my first experience with the clay. Into the Jacuzzi, I put one pound of clay, a bunch of Magnesium Oil, a bunch of Magnesium Bath Flakes, a Calming Stirwand and an ounce of Miracle II soap. I meant to also add the Ocean Frost and the Mountain Crystals but forgot to bring some from the warehouse. WOW! What an experience . . . afterwards I melted into bed and slept through to noon the next day.

• I took the opportunity to pore through the Living Clay book and really understand the different ways that the Calcium Bentonite Clay is used. As I read through the book on the long flight to Australia, there were frequent references to using the dry powder Clay, a poultice of Clay, Hydrated Clay or Liquid Clay. I knew that Perry sells the Clay in each of these forms, but I could not get it clear in my mind whether or not we could make up our own formulations from the raw dry powder product that comes in the 50-pound bucket or one of the smaller sizes. So, I have sorted through all of that for you, and below is my summary of the different forms of the Clay, how to mix them and an example of how they might be used.

The dry powdered Clay can, of course, be used in a bath. Put 1 to 2 cups of dry powdered Clay into a small amount of the hottest-possible bath water and stir it vigorously until it is completely dissolved. Then fill the tub with water that is as hot as is comfortable for you. You could also put the dry powdered Clay onto an open bleeding wound to stop the bleeding, accelerate the healing and minimize the risk of infection.

 For a poultice (Clay Pack), mix 1 part Clay with 1 to 11/2 part water. Stir well with a wooden or plastic spoon and let sit for several hours until the water is completely assimilated with the Clay. This might be used to pack over a spider bite. There are lots more ideas in the book.

For hydrated Clay, mix 1 part Clay with 3 parts water and let it sit for 12 hours. Then mix thoroughly to a creamy consistency. This formulation could be used for a facial pack, or maybe on varicose veins or tattoos and for a full body pack with the help of a friend . . . a very good friend. (Grins)
For liquid Clay, mix 1 part clay with 10 parts water and put into a juice bottle or sports bottle, e.g., and shake it like crazy for 3 to 5 minutes. After 1 hour shake again like crazy until the clay remains suspended in the water. This is the mix that you would use for all of the different suggestions for “eating” or drinking the Clay. The benefits are completely awesome . . . get the book and check out how you can REALLY get your pH way up.

Now we are all enlightened. Perry simply prepares these various mixes at a substantially higher-per-ounce cost as a convenience. You can buy a 50-pound bucket of Clay, get a FREE copy of the book, and save megabucks when you make up your own mixes. Just as a teaser, I want to mention that the last chapter in the book is titled Living Clay and Ageless Beauty –- How to look and feel 29 for 100+ years. I will give you a little hint . . . it involves drinking a little liquid Clay every day and taking a Clay bath a few times a week. Not a bad price for the Fountain of Youth? One other teaser for some of you interested in Monatomics and all that involves . . . one of the later chapters discusses monatomics, zeolites and ORMOS contained in Therapeutic Living Clay. For many of you, that will have no meaning, but for others, it will be a huge sign flashing PAY ATTENTION –- this is an extraordinary product, worthy of your serious attention. Opportunity is knocking, and the price is right. Hear ye, hear ye!

• I just remembered that Dr. Deagle also emphasized the importance of the Living Clay today. He points out that when we are exposed to radiation, either due to an accident or due to higher and higher accumulations around the world as a consequence of depleted uranium munitions being used in our military invasions, calcium bentonite clay is one of the best ways to pull the radiation from our bodies. A word to the wise should be sufficient . . .

• For the last couple of weeks, I have been testing and working with the Therapeutic Living Clay to expand my knowledge of it and how to best use it. As I reported last week, I have been applying the Hydrated Clay to two spots on my face to see how they respond. One was a brown spot about 3/8 inch in diameter that looked very suspicious to me . . . maybe a melanoma. I am now almost certain that is what it was. As I have applied the Hydrated Clay to that area over the last 10 days, the brown spot has disappeared and a sort of focal point has become apparent. It seems as though that small area is where the cancer might have been centered. The area has gone through several phases and continues to do so. I feel very strongly that the situation is being resolved, but I have a bit more work to do.

I felt like the other area, next to my lips, was a small cyst. That has steadily shrunk, and just this evening a little bit of pressure on that area released a discharge and no hardness remains. I will continue to use the clay for a while longer, but I feel certain that this situation is now resolved. This clay is really quite amazing. After these two areas are taken care of, I will move on to other blemishes to see how they respond. Testing, testing, testing and reporting to the Membership . . . that is part of my job.

I started doing my testing with Hydrated Clay that was already prepared for me in a little 4-oz. jar that sells. It began to dawn on me that I should be able to make my own hydrated clay from my 50-pound bucket of Clay. So I followed Perry’s instructions and put one part Clay with three parts water and mixed it up. At first it lumps up and is sort of messy. But as you let it sit, the water begins to soak into the Clay, and a rich poultice begins to form. Over the next couple of days, anytime I thought about it, I would stir and blend the mixture a bit. After two days, I had a generous, rich, smooth putty that was every bit as nice as you get for $17.77, and it just cost pennies. If I can do it, you can too. If you don’t get a 50-pound bucket of the Clay, at least get a small container and make and use some of this mud pack. What an incredible, cleansing feeling. Try it! You will like it!

 While I am on the subject of the Clay, Perry A. Smith, from Therapeutic Living Clay, has provided us with a 32-page booklet written by her partner, David Smith. The book is titled How to Survive a Dirty Bomb and is in .pdf format that most Members will be able to read. Here is the link to the book:
http://www.globallight.net/pdf/Surviving-A.

Perry is giving the book to the Global Light Network membership for FREE. The price is right . . . please take the time to read it!

I know that it is not pleasant to think about the possibility of radiation exposure from a bomb in your area, or a nuclear power plant accident or even a gradual rise in radiation levels as the indirect result of depleted uranium munitions being used by our Armed Forces in Iraq and everywhere else that we are waging war on other countries. This little booklet is a MUST read, because it tells how very simple protocols with the Calcium Bentonite Clay can provide nearly 100% protection from the devastating results of radiation exposure and virtually guarantee your survival and the survival of your family. There is NO other strategy that offers survival and, in the big scheme, the cost is almost trivial. I am sure that you have guessed that Therapeutic Living Clay is THE answer and that I am going to make you an offer that you cannot refuse . . . I hope.

• A couple of weeks ago, Perry Smith, from Therapeutic Living Clay, visited us at GLN. While she was here, she told us how she had used the Hydrated Clay to remove some mole-type growths around her neck. She said that once or twice per day she would put the Hydrated Clay on those spots, let it dry and then leave it on through the day or through the night. I wondered how it would stay on under your clothes or under your sheets. So . . . I have two spots on my face that I have decided to work on. At night, before going to bed, I apply a little of the Hydrated Clay on the spots of concern. Well, much to my surprise, once the clay dries, it is pretty much there to stay unless you choose to flake it off or wash it off. One spot I have been working on felt like a cyst and probably was 1/8 inch in diameter under the skin. After only four days, that cyst, or whatever it is, has reduced to about 1/4 of its original size . . . amazing! I don’t see anything coming out, but nevertheless, it is shrinking in size . . . wonder where it goes? The other spot seemed like a little melanoma on my cheek just under my left eye. That spot is fading and seems to be flaking off. I have lots of other spots that I want to work on now. That Clay is amazing stuff. You just have to try it to convince yourself. I had only been using the Clay to soak in a bath, but now I am spreading my wings to try other uses. I suppose, drinking the Clay must come next.

• Adam Abraham is the publisher of the powerful and informative book, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy and is a very special friend of Global Light Network. He and his partner, Della Hale, are creating a video documentary about the TLC clay, and will make it available to our Members very soon. They are documenting in a video format many of the ways that the clay can be used, including some really innovative ideas of how we can eat (drink) the clay.

• Perry A~ from Therapeutic Living Clay came down from Austin and spent an afternoon with us. That was at least four hours of eye-opening and jaw-dropping information. As we scramble to find suitable alternatives to the probiotic we carried, Perry made us realize that many of the benefits we derived from the probiotic are also available through the many uses of the calcium Bentonite clay. I was up to my ears with a hundred priorities and missed much of the session with Perry, but Libby, Adam, Della and David Fitts raved all evening about the Clay and all of the uses and benefits of which we were completely unaware.

Thus, we devised a way to share as much of this information as possible with the Members. You guessed it . . . another FREE CD. • You may remember that a huge benefit of the probiotic for me was to control stomach burn after decades of chewing tubs . . . truckloads of them. Well, guess what? Drinking the clay works much better and even faster. It is as simple as mixing one part clay with 10 parts water and mixing, shaking it well. One ounce of that mixture is all that I need to calm a raging fire in my stomach. Perry recommends that we take two or three ounces of the clay mix per day for a while, and then we can back off to one ounce per day . . . and that is a very beneficial long-term program that packs tons of benefits for us. Now, I must confess, it took me a while . . . months . . . to try drinking the clay. I just could not get my head around the concept of drinking dirt. Well, I can now attest that it is not a big deal or an unpleasant experience. It leaves a little bit of an after taste, so I just chase it with a tiny bit of grape juice. In fact, since I use grape juice to mix with the Karma Cleanse and Detoxified Iodine. I just chug down the Clay and then take the grape juice concoction as a chaser . . . yummy good and healthy.

• The big excitement this week, for me, was getting stung six to eight times by a scorpion . . . ouch! On Monday, somehow, a scorpion crawled up my pants leg and starting stinging me from my ankle to my knee. At first, I thought it was fire ants but quickly realized it was something far more serious. In a flash, I had my trousers down and discovered a really big and bad scorpion working on me, and I swatted him across the room so that Libby could bless him and send him to scorpion heaven.

Fortunately, I had recently talked to Perry A~ about using the Living Clay for insect bites and stings . . . and scorpions in particular. I rushed to the bedroom and found a large container of Hydrated Clay and started rubbing it on all of the stings that I could find. Within minutes the pain was significantly reduced, except for one major sting that I missed on my shin. It was probably half an hour before I got Clay on that one, and, thus, that was the one sting that hurt during the day and early evening.

To me, the amazing thing is that there was NO SWELLING, and by early evening there was barely any pain. However, I still think that quite a bit of venom got into my system, and it was pretty scary when my lips started getting numb during the afternoon. Drinking three ounces of the Clay mix (10 to 1) probably helped with that response. After the crisis passed, several people told me that six to eight scorpion stings could have been life threatening . . . thank you Perry A~, and thank you, Living Clay, for minimizing the danger for me. I am blessed.

I am so impressed with these products, all over again, that we have devoted a lot of this issue to coverage of the Therapeutic Living Clay. If you have not already ordered the FREE CD on Living Clay, you really should. You will be amazed at the huge range of uses and benefits of the Clay. This may be ONE of the most powerful and versatile products that we have available and, to me, it was really a sleeper. Truthfully, I added the Clay to our line based on the really strong recommendation of Dr. Mark Sircus and a few others in whom I have a lot of faith. I am now doing all of the personal experimenting that I would normally do upfront. The more research I do, the more impressed I am . . . you will be too! This is the perfect month to try the Clay products, because we are offering a 20% discount on everything.

• Regarding Therapeutic Living Clay, there has been a bit of confusion that I would like to clarify. Lately, we have often mentioned drinking the Living Clay, but there is not a product from Perry A~ that specifically suggests that it is for drinking. That is probably because Perry is not allowed by "You Know Who" to suggest that the clay can be ingested. So I am going to let you in on a little secret. The Clay Bath just happens to be prepared in the proportion that is recommended for drinking . . . that would be a proportion of about 1 part clay to 10 parts water. The next hot tip is that it is incredibly simple to make your own clay drink. I prefer mine a little thicker, so in a one-quart container that can be well sealed, put in 4 ounces, by volume, of clay and fill the container with water. Then shake it well periodically. Then each time you want to pour some to drink, it's ready. It is so easy, and even a one-pound container of clay will go quite a ways.

• With all of the telephone troubles this afternoon, it was a pretty hectic day today. About 4:00 PM, I went into the house for a very late lunch, or maybe it was a very early dinner. I had an Italian dish that was quite spicy and ate it way too fast so I could get back to the problems. Very predictably, within an hour, I had major stomach burn going on. Living Clay to the rescue! I went into the house and poured one ounce of clay from a quart I had already prepared at a ratio of 1 part clay to 8 parts water. Within 15 minutes, all of the pain was gone. This is a miracle in my life to have something so simple that will put out the fire so quickly. Thank you, Perry for continuing to encourage me to try drinking the clay . . . it is a major answer for me. I don't even worry about a chaser anymore; I just chug it down and go on back to work or to bed if it is in the middle of the night

Gulf War Illness . . . I am a Gulf War veteran. I was activated January 1991 and had to leave three small children. Although I was not deployed to the war zone, I was inoculated with an array of vaccines along with everyone else. Toward the end of my mobilization, I came down with a serious kidney infection, and when I was demobilized, I continued to feel sickly. I was chronically tired but could never get a restful night's sleep. I had a dull headache all the time, my gums were sore and bleeding, and my joints ached. After my demobilization, I felt as if I had aged fifty years!

I began to pay close attention to my diet, eating as many fresh vegetables and fruits . . . getting organic as much as possible. I began supplementing my diet with CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, milk thistle extract, vitamin C, a good probiotic and just as much good stuff as I could get into my body. These seemed to help somewhat, but I just couldn't seem to get total and consistent relief from the symptoms I was experiencing.

About two years ago, I accidentally came across the WARL radio station in Providence, which was airing The Power Hour. Working as a structural inspector on a jobsite, I had gotten into my company vehicle inspector on a jobsite, I had gotten into my company vehicle to warm up, since it was well below zero outside. I was tired of mainstream propaganda on the radio and started scanning the radio waves, and there was Joyce talking about real health. After that day, I didn't want to miss one edition of the Power Hour.

When I learned what Joyce and Dave have been doing for vets for so long, it practically brought tears to my eyes. I was so grateful to them!

Anyway I began using oregano products, coconut oil, essential oils, flax lignan an some other items which again improved my condition. Then one day Joyce had a guest on who was talking about eating dirt every day! I thought What?" As I listened to this man describe the many curing abilities of this miraculous "dirt," I made a decision that I was going to get some, as I still was battling bleeding gums, canker sores and pains in the back of my neck and knee joints.

I started taking one teaspoon of clay with purified water first think in the morning and before bed. I continued this regimen for about the next nine months, until one day this summer, I went to the beach with my husband and several of our friends for a diving adventure. After diving, we girls went into the ladies room to change and wash the salt and sand off. As we were washing and chatting in front of the mirrors, one of the ladies looked at me, her eyes with the look of amazement, and she said to me "you have the best skin I've ever seen!". I didn't know what to say except "Thanks, what a kind thing to say." Then I looked in the mirror and noticed that a liver spot I had on my left cheek since my last pregnancy, which was 1989, about the size of a quarter and had started to rise, was completely gone? My complexion really was even-toned and radiant. I hadn't even noticed until that lovely comment was made.

What I really noticed, however, since eating clay every day and using only clay and sea salt as a dentifrice, is a complete clearing of my gum problems, the lack of joint and neck pain, and no headaches . . . I sleep like a baby. The chronic fatigue I'd lived with for so long had disappeared completely!

Thank you for providing and researching this God- sent substance for those of us who can now use this to heal ourselves and to purify ourselves of the many toxins we ingest knowingly and unknowingly. We do believe this "miracle dirt" could be the key to curing Gulf War Illness and to restoring our many sick veterans (about 260,000) back to health. God bless you all. Donna D., USAF Ret.

Cataracts . . . I was suffering from cataracts and eventual loss of sight and was advised to use water filtered through Calcium Bentonite Clay as eye drops, combining this treatment with Calcium Bentonite Clay paste to the eyelids. The treatment was effective, and the cataracts completely dissolved. K.S., US

Pyorrhea . . . My pyorrhea finally got so bad my dentist told me all my teeth would need to be extracted. It seemed my teeth were fine, but my gums would have to go. I began brushing my teeth and gums with Hydrated Calcium Bentonite Clay and packing my gums in the evening at bed time with dry powder. Today, one year later, my teeth are pearly white, and my gums are a healthy pink and disease free. All thanks to Calcium Bentonite Clay. J.B., US

Cuts, Spider Bites, Rashes . . . Externally, every condition I have applied Calcium Bentonite Clay to has improved dramatically or been cured. Lacerations, bedsores, spider bites, poison ivy and mysterious rashes seem to vanish. In fact, I "discovered" clay when I sliced my fingers open with a razor knife while cutting sheetrock. I sprinkled dry clay onto the cuts, and they stopped bleeding within a minute. Then I bandaged them up and went back to work. To my great astonishment, within 15 minutes the pain was gone, and the cuts completely healed within three days. I also used it on a cat bite that wasn't healing (very dangerous), and it cleared up overnight. J.C., US

Weight Loss . . . I am doing a Clay facial once in a while, and once in a while I do a Clay bath soak. I am very loyal about drinking it twice a day and taking plenty of water as my only beverage other than Darjeeling and various green teas. When I began drinking a pure, natural Calcium Bentonite Clay at the end of January 2005, I drank plenty of water along with the lay. I didn't sleep all night, so I had a carafe of water handy and each and every time I awoke I drank water. I am not that loyal to doing it lately since I sleep more soundly and awaken fewer times. Consequently, I have not been dropping as fast the additional weight. So there is a clue here . . . drink plenty of water.

By Easter at the end of March I realized I was not eating the foil-covered eggs I had purchased for my husband. The Clay had just honed down my binges and moderated my desire to eat and over eat. I am satisfied with better food and much smaller portions. The candy and bakery sections hold NO temptation for me now. I don't feel like I have to be putting food or drink into my system all the time as I did before drinking the clay. Water is the only exception. I always have a bottle of water ready. My shape change came about without effort. I did not exercise; I do feel now like I could.

I have fibromyalgia and related-health problems, so exercising was not for me. At first my shape change was subtle. I noticed my clothes getting comfortable . . . that was a surprise since my washer and dryer have always shrunk my clothes. Then they just didn't stay on my hips. My arms and shoulders no longer fit my shirts and blouses, and the shoulder pads I once tossed out would be needed to continue to wear them. My guess is that I am not being controlled by the parasites who had been supported by the chemicals and other trash in what I had been consuming. The Clay did its job and cleaned them out.

The only other changes I made were getting a mercury filling taken out and dropping all medications. Both had long been on my mind to do, and Clay had just given me the vehicle to carry away the residue/toxins that my habits or poor judgment had left behind. The truth at last . . . a pure, natural Calcium Bentonite Clay is effective and harmless at the same time. Will I ever stop drinking clay twice a day? After going from size 3X to size 14 (for now) I will always drink clay. L.R., US

TLC Dry Clay Powder, Teeth and Skin. . . I am loving the Clay Powder. I've just started brushing my teeth at night (using my regular natural toothpaste in the am), and I'm surprised at the whiteness of my teeth after two days. At night I don't rinse the Clay completely out of my mouth, allowing it to do its magic throughout the night. I did try brushing with it this morning, but I found it's a bit difficult to rinse out.

 I had followed your directions for making the Clay Powder into Hydrated Clay. It was very simple. I applied a bit to my face and neck and allowed to dry. My skin is so soft and smooth. I'm not sure, but I think I detect a slight increase in firmness along my jawline. I'll be using this twice a week and am anxious to see the accumulative results. The next step is to start ingesting the Clay for detoxification and weight loss. I'm very excited about this product. VA, CO

Skin Tightening Effects . . . Last week I reported that my jawline seemed slightly tighter after using my hydrated (home-made) clay as a facial mask. I have done two more masks since then, and I can see a definite improvement in my jawline. I am also noticing a higher upper eyelid by carefully applying the clay to my upper lid as a mask. Another awesome product! V.A., CO

Tasty Clay . . .I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU for the wonderful clay! It is by far the tastiest clay I've ever had! I will be ordering more in the future :) Tsetsi, US

TLC Clay Facial . . .I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the clay. Just as my friend had told me, the Clay is absolutely amazing. I used it for a facial and my skin texture improved visibly almost immediately. A.G., US

Fast-Growing Lesion . . . It was an unbelievable experience. Most thought I would be hospitalized when I shared it. I was very frightened at what had happened to my body. Early in the morning I noticed a small hot spot, maybe the size of a dime. It was red and enflamed. By mid afternoon, it had enlarged and continued to grow. I placed ointments on it, but the inflamed area continued to expand until it reached an area of about 4"X6" when I began to apply the Bentonite clay. The growth slowed almost immediately, and within a couple of days the redness and swelling began to diminish. I applied the Clay a couple of times a day for the next couple of weeks. Miraculously the area totally healed -- the swelling went down, and the redness left. Today, all I have is a tiny black dot where apparently the stinger or whatever permeated my skin still remains. I would never have believed that clay could do such an incredible healing from an apparent spider bite. J.B., US

Acid Reflux . . . I was introduced to Calcium Bentonite Clay by my brother. I was suffering from Acid Reflux disease so bad that it caused me to have an automobile accident. My chest hurt so much that I and the EMT's thought I was having a heart attack. I was taken to the VA Hospital and hospitalized for 3 days. It took me a month to recover from two broken ribs and muscle damage in my back. My primary care physician at the VA Hospital put me on Ranitidene. It didn't work, so he doubled the dosage. This still didn't work. I asked my doctor about taking the clay because I had thrown up at least once a day for five of the last seven days. The day before I started taking the clay I had thrown up four times. I asked him about the clay, he said he could not recommend it. I even gave him some literature to read, and that it was FDA approved. He said he would read the literature when he had time. I started using the clay anyway, and I have not had any symptoms of the acid reflux disease for two months. S.M., AZ

Kitty's Cyst . . . I have an elderly cat, Big Guy, who has been my companion for over twelve years...I rescued him as a tiny kitten...He's in good health, except for a large cyst on top of his head, near his ear. The vet won't remove it, as he doesn't want to do surgery on a cat his age if not absolutely necessary. Occasionally, I notice that BG has been scratching the cyst, and it has bled a bit...This really worried me, so I started putting a dab of the rehydrated clay on it when he was quiet or asleep and didn't realize what I was doing! If he knew, he would promptly lick his paw and remove the stuff . . .but I figured that it wouldn't hurt his insides, either! I notice that when I use this clay on the cyst, it gets smaller, the sore places dry up , and he doesn't seem to be bothered by it...So I'm going to keep using it on him as long as the cyst is there...We'll see if it disappears...that'd be something!
