Zeolites are formed naturally resulting from a chemical reaction between saline water and volcanic lava. Zeolites are structured like cages which have open spaces and channels. Ions and molecules can move easy into and out of the structure. This class of materials is known as molecular sieves.
Zeolites are natural minerals that hold a negative which is not common in nature. This enables them to attract and trap ions, atoms, and compounds with the opposite charge and remove them from a system, like a magnet. The heavy metal toxins that are found in our environment and our bodies are positively charged.
Zeolites have been shown to remove mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and other heavy metals. Research has shown that it actually helps to balance the pH level in our body producing a slightly alkaline system. This in turn stabilizes the immune system.
Zeolites have been used in powdered form for over 800 years throughout Asia as a traditional medicine to promote well being and overall health. Zeolites have been giving a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status from the US FDA. The are natural, non toxic and safe for long term use.
Everyday we are exposed to heavy metal toxins through the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Also, we like to knowingly apply personal hygiene products that are usually chock full of heavy metal toxins and other chemicals. Ensure that you do research on the product of your choice. You generally get what you pay for.
Zeolites should go in empty and come out full. If the zeolites you are using are not properly activated, they could go in full and come out the same way without actually absorbing anything. There is no danger of absorbing the contents of the zeolites as they are virtually indestructible, however, it wont do you any good.
Try to follow these guidelines when choosing zeolites for detox. The zeolites should be natural and not synthetic. They need to be chemically washed or “activated” as it is also called to remove the toxins already in it. The zeolites should be suspended in water and no other substance. If anything else is added it could further contaminate the zeolites. The reason you are taking zeolites is to detox your body and no other reason.

- Detoxing with Zeolites - Natural zeolites form in nature as a result of a chemical reaction between volcanic lava and saline water. Zeolites have large open spaces or cages in their structures that form channels. These channels allow the easy movement of ions and molecules into and out of the structure. This ability puts zeolites in the class of ...

- News That Helps Inform You About Natural Cellular Defense Zeolite - Have you heard of natural minerals which are mined from certain areas of the globe, which are known to be negatively charged, called as Zeolites? These resemble honeycombs in structure, which tend to allow ions that are positively-charged, to be trapped for elimination from our bodies later. This is the function of a Natural Cellular ...
