Zeolites help eliminate heavy metals and toxins from the body
metals and toxins from their bodies. The potential health benefits are
enormous.
Across the globe, heavy metal toxins and other pollutants are
everywhere in our environment. These pollutants exist in our air,
water, and food supplies, our workplaces, even our homes and
automobiles. The human physiological system has many mechanisms in
place for excreting these contaminants, through sweating,
incorporation into hair and nails, defecation and urination.
However, the ability to excrete and eliminate these environmental
toxins varies by individual as well as the nature of the contaminant.
The buildup of toxins in the brain, muscles, and fatty tissues often
occurs very slowly and can eventually result in clinically significant
levels of heavy metals that result in disease.
Flowers, Lonky, and Deitsch (2009) found activated clinoptilolite
suspension (ACS) increased the urinary excretion of toxic heavy metals
without causing any harm to participants in their study.
Clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite. A zeolite is a mineral that is
used chiefly as a molecular filter and ion-exchange agent. In hsort,
it acts as an agent to remove heavy metals and toxins from the body.
The researchers found significant increases in the urinary excretion
of aluminum, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury,
nickel and tin when ACS was used by participants. While the amounts
excreted among participants varied, this was not totally unexpected.
Results varied among participants, because of differences in
physiology among individuals and differing levels of compliance with
the instructions, However, all participants had positive results.
Participants took an ACS supplement for either seven or 30 days
resulting in a measurable enhancement of urinary excretion of heavy
metals in subjects. Excretion of the toxic metals continued for 14
days, and in some cases up to 21 and even 30 days. This suggests that
use of an ACS supplement for a longer time may result in removal of
sequestered toxins from various tissues.
