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.
The information below is from http://www.skinsight.com/adult/pressureUlcerDecubitusUlcer.htm
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 bed head 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. It 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, fungus, chemicals, heavy
metals and even pesticides and poisons from the body through internal
and external means. The beauty of clay is that it hold and binds what
it draws and 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

The information for this article was compiled from a variety of
sources by Perry A~, author of Living Clay – Nature’s Own Miracle
Cure. She has been an ongoing student in the study and research of
Bentonite Clays since the early 1990’s. It was then she was first
introduced to a green healing Calcium Bentonite Clay that captured her
fascination as to the amazing healing potential of dirt. She has been
an advocate for Bentonite clays ever since. She is available for radio
interviews and for questions about clay. She can be reached at
