Clay Bath Results in 6 Year old with 95 Percentile Heavy Metals
My boy, Noah, is 6, and regressed after his MMR. Sadly, I had a flu shot during pregnancy (convinced by my OB) and Noah had all his vaccines and the MMR was the last straw for him. The heavy metals (a slew of them) in his body measure in the 95th-100th percentile. Although many have stated clay has mercury in it, I have done my research and know your clay is pure- also there is a gentleman with a wealth of knowledge on the Yahoo CK2 group (Steve I think is his name) that promotes the clay as well. Noah has "toxic encephalopathy" and we have been using the clay to detox for quite some time. Sadly, on his birthday this year, Feb 3, he had brain and orbital surgery to remove abscesses that quite frankly came out of the blue - some say it is similar to what a progressive sinus infection can do but he had no symptoms of such - got a headache, was admitted for swelling around the eye and a few days later a second CT scan (at my insistence) revealed an intracranial epidural abscess (a deadly condition) in addition to the orbital one (around the eye). He was rushed to Johns Hopkins for immediate surgery....I am still suffering the trauma of it all...so is Noah. His Traumatic Stress Disorder has returned to it's heightened state (began a year ago when he was abused in a pre-school program) and he is severely anxious.

Anyway, we have a phenomenal physician/pediatrician who is also a DAN doc and says Noah is not autistic although you would have thought so at 14 months when he "slipped away" and we have been healing him bio medically since then. He's made tremendous progress - all but his lack of speech. He was chelating with TD-DMSA with awesome results along with your awesome clay. Because the hospitals didn't "approve" of many of his meds and because he was/is so fragile, he is not using the DMSA right now, just the clay baths which show immediate results! He is happier, eye contact improves, relatedness and engagement are increased...on and on....he is a very sick lil man biomedically and I thank God your clay is there  to help him. - Mary Ann M.

Clay Bath Detox – Free of Metals
I’m a little excited, I got my hair analysis back and I am toxin free. I have NO toxins; no lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium and so on. Here is a plug for clay, not that it needs it, but it does work.  I was so excited that I want to tell everyone that it does work. I don’t know when I started and was not faithful. But still the only thing I attribute it to is the clay. I ate the clay both ways, liquid and hydrated. I also took baths quite often in clay; love how it relaxes me and helps me sleep. I did brush my teeth with it too and still do some but not always. As to how often I will tell you I was on and off all the time. It was not an everyday thing mostly because it had to be right in front of me to remember it. LOL. The results of the toxin free was bonus knowledge for me. And the only thing I can attribute it to is the clay as I did nothing else to clear up toxins. And by the way my pH was great too. I also was not lacking in enzymes. I too must tell you that I am delving into RIGHT eating. I am 90% raw food and 10% cooked food eater. So I am sure these things added to my results except for the toxin free result. - Jean

Removing Heavy Metals
I wanted to relay some information on my experience with a journey to remove heavy metals from my body. Some background is necessary to understand my health status. 10 years ago I suffered from a major health crisis and was diagnosed with microscopic ulcerative colitis, I had lost 25 pounds and weighed 97 pounds. The treatment prescribed was steroids. My mom had heard of a homeopathic practitioner in our area and I decided to go to see her, before starting the traditional medical treatment. It took 3 years; but, subsequent colonoscopies have never picked up the colitis and traditional doctors have said that there must have been a mistake in my original diagnosis. Since then, I have made homeopathy my official and first line of action for illness. My practitioner has always told me that I had a huge toxic burden to my body, and the many strategies that I have tried, have never impacted the high metal levels. One day in Sept 08, my practitioner told me that if I could not get my toxic levels down that I would most assuredly develop cancer at some point. She suggested a sauna treatment which is costly and time consuming. So I left the office disheartened that no matter what I tried, I could not impact those levels.

That same day, I went to a new health food store, and while standing in line, I noticed a magazine with an article about detoxing. It mentioned several books and Perry's book, Living Clay and talked about how one could detoxify the body with the use of clay. I went home read the article and ordered Perry's book. Next, I ordered the clay and began taking it at the end of Sept. 08. I have taken clay baths about one time per week and have taken clay internally daily since Sept. My recent hair analysis shows that I have had significant reductions in my heavy metals. I went from the 80th percentile in total toxic representation to the 64th percentile. This is after 5 months on the clay. Even my
homeopathic practitioner was stunned as she has never seen my levels go anywhere but up. Clay was not my only treatment, I combine it with eating almost all organic fruits and vegetables. I also eat over 50% raw. Additionally, I take several supplements to assist with detoxing.

This long story is to tell people that detoxing can be done without huge expense. I have the data and testing to prove that clay is an amazing product to use in the detoxification process and seems to help everything else I was doing. I'm so thankful I found clay! - Justine

9/11 Clay Bath Detox
Want to give an update on the clay baths in regards to detoxing my husband from 9/11 toxins. We are amazed at how the clay baths are working! We know they're working merely by the fact that there is less and less black sediment appearing in the bottom of the tub with each bath :) We're using 2 clay baths a week. It also makes us feel so much cleaner and softer than we ever have before. - Georgene

Colon, Bowels, Stomach and Digestion

Digestive Problems
My boyfriend, age 50, has had digestive problems for about 30 years. He has tried EVERYTHING. Yes, EVERYTHING doctors and all kinds of health practitioners recommended, including all kinds of diets for extended periods of time. The clay worked!!!! He sipped on it throughout the day for about 1 week. Sometimes he mixes it with a green drink to make a "creamy cocktail." Halleluja! - Alexsandra B.

Acid Reflux Testimonial from a Nurse
I just wanted you to know that you have helped yet another person in a most magnificent way! The liquid clay is second to none for helping people with any kind of digestive problems, but especially Acid Reflux, I am a nurse and have given it to several people with this problem and they all beg me for more. Thanks again. - Lori H.

Heartburn and Indigestion
I’m very skeptical about new products, but I’m quickly becoming a believer in calcium bentonite clay.  I’ve suffered with heartburn and indigestion for years and years, and have been using Prevacid as needed – usually 2-3 times a week.  Last week, I ran out of my Prevacid, and had a nasty case of heartburn late at night.  My wife brought me some of her liquid clay.  I tried it, and almost instantly the heartburn was gone.  I’m a believer in results, and this stuff gets results. -  Phillip E.

Acid Reflux – Off Prilosec
I started eating clay to get rid of reflux and heartburn.  That took 4 months to get off Prilosec.  I kept on eating it because I kept feeling better and better.  One and 1/2 years later...yum, give me more clay...it cures what ails you, in its own time.  May take a while but you didn't get in your present shape over night. With my lymphatic drainage therapy and the clay I'm enjoying pill free and pain free golden years with strong hard finger nails (added bonus) as I am 57. - Jacq P.

Heartburn/Acid Indigestion
I’m very skeptical about new products, but I’m quickly becoming a believer in Living Clay.  I’ve suffered with heartburn and indigestion for years and years, and have been using Prevacid as needed – usually 2-3 times a week.  Last week, I ran out of my Prevacid, and had a nasty case of heartburn late at night.  My wife brought me some of her liquid clay. I tried it, and almost instantly the heartburn was gone.  I’m a believer in results, and this stuff gets results. - Phillip E.

Acid Reflux Disease
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 2 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 5 of the last 7 days.  The day before I started taking the clay I had thrown up 4 times.  I asked him about the clay he said he could not recommend it.  I even gave him some literature to read.  He said he would read the literature when he had time.  I have not had any symptoms of the acid reflux disease for 2 months.  I also use the soap to shower with wash my hair with and it is the softest, fullest and most manageable that it has ever been.  I even give myself a facial once a week.  My daughter-in-law uses the soap and does a facial 3 times a week and she had beautiful skin to begin with.  She also uses the Rejuvenation Cream.  She also uses the soap on my grandchildren and the Body Lotion on her baby. - Steve M.

Candida and Digestion
My digestion & fungal infection (Candida) continue to heal. I am still taking 12T total liquid living clay daily (3 - 4T doses), eating locally & seasonally, & following Body Ecology Diet (with a few exceptions). - Gennifer J.

Gas and Bloating
My family and I started taking 2 oz of clay twice a day( the detox dose) in Oct. of 2005. We also started our son on clay baths once daily for 2 weeks in the hopes that we would see some improvement in his autistic behavior.

I've been suffering with a severe gas problem for over 10 years. My stomach would get very bloated and I would also have pockets of gas throughout other areas of my body.  My husband could push in my back, legs, arms, neck, head and feet and I would belch. I would also belch if I gave my husband a back rub.  I would be bloated whether or not I ate. I was often so tired and week from the gas that I could do no more than lay on the floor. My bowel movements were quite irregular. I had dark spots on my face and my feet were dry and rough. That about covers the bad news.  Now for the good news.  After taking the clay for a month I noticed little white rice like specks in my stools. After some research I found out they were parasite larva which I'm told are expelled after you expel the parasites themselves. I continued to see the larva for 4 months until they disappeared. The gas and bloating problem is practically non existent and as of this time my bowel movements have improved to 3 per day. The dark spots on my face have gone away and my husband says my feet are as soft as cotton.

We had a Reverse Osmosis water filter system. We found that it makes the water acidic. In our case Ph 4.0. We found that by putting 1/8 tsp. clay powder into 1 qt. water that it raised the Ph to 8.0. Alkaline water is much better for your health. I put the hydrated clay on a cyst that appeared under my arm while I was fasting and it disappeared that evening. It also acted as a deodorant. After brushing my teeth with it they are 2 shades whiter. My mother has been taking clay for 3 months and it is improving her blood pressure and blood sugar levels. My mother, mother in-law and I have all seen improvement in our hair and we all lost weight. As for our son we noticed an improvement in him being able to process his thoughts and convey them.  His skin is clearer and his bowel movements are easier. His memory has improved and he falls asleep better. My husband was always very healthy but he does complain that his hair and nails grow to fast now. I think his hair is getting a lot darker because it was starting to gray. - Deborah & Quintin 

Gastric Distress from Ulcer
I just read the book on clay cures by Perry A., even read it to my husband, who has frequent episodes of gastric distress from an ulcer. We decided to give clay a try, the next time he had a problem, I gave 2 oz. to him. His problem resolved within moments, to our great relief. Then, a few nights ago, I ate more greasy food than I should have.  I had my gall bladder removed several years, and the doctor told me to go easy on fried foods.  It's not usually a problem, since I eat very little fried foods.  When I overdo the greasy foods (which has only happened a few times!) I can hardly move for the horrible abdominal pain.  Well, after the success with my husband, as soon as I began to feel discomfort in my lower abdominal region, I decided to try a swig of the clay solution, too, and very shortly, no more discomfort! - Jo Ann A.

Colonics and Clay Cleanse
I am writing to let you know how the clay has changed my life and also the lives of my clients. I have been a colon hydro therapist for 6 years now. I started by drinking the clay myself several days before my "spring cleansing"   followed by my usual psyllium husk regimen I went in for my cleanse --and what came out was amazing. Ropes of muciod plaque. Now whenever my clients are preparing for their cleanse I make sure they drink the clay. Everyone including myself actually just stays drinking the clay. I am now up to 3 ounce 3 times per day and I have never looked or felt better. I would recommend this product to any colon therapist that wants the best for their clients. It’s the safest and most effective way to eliminate that old toxic waste. Just doing a colonic is not always enough!! - Vanessa G.

Cleansing Black Gunk and Weight Loss
Every week I go for colonics and drink my clay every day...anywhere from 8 -12 ounces with a lot of water through the day. I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE JULY. (Received September 30th) Well, on Tuesday, black stuff came out. I have been vegetarian 30 years , have fasted on lemon juice and honey for 10 days, take epsom salts for 30 years... and never have had this happen...this is the old carbon stuff. I am sure this will go on for awhile. I am 51 years old have always been chunky,  never thin and my belly and bloat are now going away. My work IS  in the Holistic field, Medical Massage Therapist, Certified Herbalist and Aromatherapist and gluten free and vegetarian and never have I had results like this. I work with a colonist and will be massaging at her business. It is giving back to others and help them achieve good health. Your wealth is your health. - Sharon W.

End-Stage Liver Disease and Living Clay
Just wanted to share a wonderful Living Clay testimony. My niece has End-Stage Liver Disease and is awaiting a liver transplant. I had the Living Clay sent to her four weeks ago. Her ammonia level was 157, and last week's blood work showed a level of 93. Also, best news -- her HepC has become inactive during this time. The Clay is the only thing she is doing different, so we totally attribute it to that and her strong faith and will to live. She takes Clay baths twice a day -- she covers her body with a Clay mask, allows it to dry and then gets into a bath. The severe body itching has subsided. She also makes a poultice over her liver area with Clay and covers with the Miracle II Gel. - Elaine S.

Detox, Cleanse and pH Balance
As a Nutritional Microscopist, I have the unique perspective of seeing how any & all changes to me & my clients affect us on a cellular level. I can go into numerous reasons why that is the most important indicator of anything related to one’s health but I will save that for another time.

Suffice it to say, I can look at the blood after fasting & see a disorganization of cells. After the individual takes a supplement or food, I can look again to see what kind of changes have occurred.  The type of change is the ultimate indicator of the positive or negative impact on the body.

I say that to say this, every cell in our bodies is created by our red blood cells & the health of our red blood cells determines the health of every cell & thus our entire body. If I have a client that comes to me with a diagnosis from an oncologist saying that he has intestinal cancer for instance, I know that it only takes about 2 weeks to turn over every cell in the intestines. If we go about fixing this problem from the typical American stand point of poor nutrition, radiation & acidic drugs then it will take months for a chance of “curing” the cancer, with no guarantee of success or that it won’t come back. I, on the other hand, would have the client use clay to cleanse, alkalize & heal the bowels & the entire body & use chlorophyll or plant blood to build new healthy cells. In 2 weeks every cell could be regenerated as a brand new healthy cell and the cancer could be virtually gone. Of course, this is a simplified example of a more in depth situation. However, it shows the basic point that clay & chlorophyll, assuming that we are dealing with the best quality products for the best results, are crucial to any & all health concerns no matter how big or small.

Health comes from four main protocols.  First, cleansing & detoxifying the bowels & other filter/elimination organs of the body.  Second, providing the body the proper nutrients to do it’s job of building new healthy cells & meeting the needs of the body to heal itself & perform all the other functions of life.  Third, super hydrating the body with electron saturated water.  Fourth, getting regular exercise to help deal with stress, increase oxygen levels & remove waste. You can’t do it on part of the equation, you need all these components. Quality is just as important as the how of the equation. That is why I only use the very finest calcium Bentonite clay from The Living Clay Company. - Jason F.

Detox Success Measured by Iridology
I am pleased to say that the clay has really been cleaning things up for me. Let me explain a bit. I have been awakened to the holistic way and natural remedies for 6 1/2 years now. With some health issues which has held up some of the progress, I have been cleansing (Colon) off and on as issues would permit change in diet etc. Each time I would cleanse I would see change in the eye, (iridology) but it would only get so clean. My naturopath would check periodically and I also as I have taken every study course he had to offer, iridology being one of them. Any way I have only been taking clay since Jan. and I just had a eye check with him and I told him I had been detoxing. When he looked at the eye pictures he could see how clean and clear they are. My iris' now look better than ever, he said. “I guess you have! Keep doing what you are doing.”  I said I will.

I have been taking 1-2 ounces of the liquid clay premix daily and 2 clay baths a week using 2 cups of Living Clay per bath and soaking a good 20 minutes.  I am detoxing this way for heavy metals. I had (mercury) amalgams.  I still have about half way to go. My sleep has improved too! I don't seem to wake up for long periods of time very much anymore.  I look forward to see how I could finish my healing process maybe quicker with this toxic burden being straightened out. I thank God for his guidance to clay and other great helps and products etc. along the way. - Virginia C.

Cleansing the Colon with Living Clay
I started with 3 tablespoons of hydrated clay, 3 times a day with plenty of water. The first two weeks was sluggish with a small amount of plugs that passed easily enough. It was the 3rd and 4th weeks when the serious plugs and black mass passed through. This is when I cut back to 1 tablespoon, twice a day because it was so painful. Constipation. I have given myself 5 enemas because this fecal matter was so hard (like a plug). What came out with one of the enemas was almost black and at least a foot long; twice in the same day!  So there's no doubt in my mind that I have been getting rid of some really old nasty gunk. - Linda C.

High Mercury Detoxing
My chronic inflammation is greatly reduced and I no longer feel like I am on the brink of madness. I started having problems about 4 years ago when I was in the navy, during a period of low vitamin d/ high mercury exposure through corroding amalgam fillings, numerous vaccinations, and consumption of lots of sushi. I started taking high dose vitamin D (8000 IU per day) a few months ago which seemed to help my thyroid some, but wasn't addressing the bigger problem of mental dysfunction and hyperactive immune system. I had a lot of the symptoms of mercury toxicity, inability to concentrate, severe mood swings, shooting pains anywhere in the body, pins and needles sensations, creepy crawly feelings, chronic fatigue, delusional thinking, mild hallucinations. Also, attempting chelation through Alpha Lipoic Acid and naturopathic formulations from my doctor made the symptoms a lot worse, which is another reason I think I have mercury in my system. After my first clay bath I had a  lot of shooting pains, twitching muscles, and creepy crawlies, which would indicate mobilization of mercury. I've done 4 clay baths now and the symptoms are greatly reduced. My chronic inflammation is less severe now too. No, I haven't done a test, but from what I've read most tests are not good at detecting mercury, and all the symptoms consistently point to mercury. - Aaron E.

Adding Clay Did the Trick
I have done the Master Cleanse, taken oregano, colloidal silver and a variety of other things over the last few years, but something was still lacking. While I wasn’t sick, I just didn’t feel alive. Just dragging along from day to day. I can’t believe how much better I feel after only 3 days. Nothing has changed in my life, other than adding clay to my diet.  - Debbie B.

Multiple Cleansing Benefits
I had suffered from so many different things from high blood pressure to high blood sugar to obesity and lupus-like symptoms. I was always tired and felt like I was dying. Chronic pains in my feet and joints, headaches and I caught every cold and flu it seemed. I also had rough skin on my feet and lived with yeast infections monthly. I had hot flashes and would feel dizzy and had ear ringing. Not to mention acne at 42. I couldn't sleep well and I had sleep apnea. I also had constant gas. Plus I was obese. I started off by not drinking or cooking with fluoridated water as I found out how deadly it really is. It took a lot of symptoms away. The gout, the pain in the joints, and I slept a little better and my blood pressure went down some. Then I came across your page about clay. I bought some powdered clay and I drank it in 16 oz. water on empty stomach once a day. The first dose I have to admit cleaned out my intestines so well green plaque came out. Yuk. I was shocked that was in me. I had no idea it could work so well so fast. Within about an hour I started feeling like I did when I was younger. Later that day I noticed my eye whites were so white and I never seen it that way ever. Unless I used eye drops. Well I started taking Epsom salt, clay half cup each and one tablespoon baking soda baths. I would soak for half an hour three times a week. My rough skin cleared up and after a month I noticed I no longer slept fitfully and I stayed asleep with no more snoring. My blood pressure is now normal. I am overweight but not obese now. Borderline. The weight fell off of me so fast my skin from my stomach touches my thighs. However I didn't diet or restrict my food intake. I no longer suffer from gas unless I eat beans and the acne is gone completely. No more hot flashes I still get colds but I use my clark zapper that I made myself and within twenty minutes my cold symptoms are gone. I took thirty drops of black walnut hull tincture once a day with 8 oz. water for one week then once a week after that and I no longer have high blood sugar. It is normal now. All the other symptoms disappeared other than occasional pains when it turns cold or rains. I also now use it on my scalp as I always had dandruff and sores on my scalp. No more. When I use the clay as a mask my skin gets so much tighter its like I lost years off my face immediately. It stays tight and smooth and I don't see the little crows feet anymore at all. I continue on the baths three days a week and the internal daily. - Lisa

Eyes

Itching Eyes
When I get allergies my eyes itch like crazy and water.  I have tried eye wash and over the counter products and even a cream my eye doctor recommended, but nothing works like clay.  I close one eye tightly and cover the entire eye with the topical creamy Living Clay paste for 15 minute periods and wash it off.  Then I do the other eye the same way. The irritation is gone and the watery itching stops.  15-20 minutes to relief. Thank you for Living Clay. - Mary T.

Sty
I had a sty in my eye last week, for the first time in I don't know how many years, I had some kind of cold, and I think it caused the sty too. I decided to try to draw it out a little with the clay, which I am also taking internally. I cleaned my eye very carefully, and used coconut oil for moisturizing, and then patted on a little clay paste, keeping below my lower lash line, and slept with that on. I did it for a few nights, and I think it really did reduce the irritation. - Mary Beth

Cataracts
An 82 year old lady was resignedly waiting for her cataract to ‘ripen’ before undergoing surgery. Then she agreed to try application of clay poultices. It has been a year since it last bothered her. This improvement had been witnessed by her oculist. - From The Healing Clay by Michael Abehsera

General Health

Mole, Weight Loss, Energy and Complexion
Just thought I would update you on my progress....well doing colonics, eating vegetarian for 30 years  and doing the clay since June of 09.( Received testimonial 12-1-09) . I have lost a lot of bloat I think is inflammation. On my face a mole on my chin for over 30 years fell off and others are lighting up. I have lost 10 pounds...feeling great.  My skin is younger looking...and my eyes are clearer.  What can I say?  Go clay! As a Massage Therapist in NY...PEOPLE DO NOT GET IT! In my healing work it has changed my ability to help others. Transmitting  energy is stronger, also my intuition is stronger. This is for the rest of my life. I am 51 and half.  Blessings. - Sharon W.

Under Arm Cleanse

Once a week I put a glob of hydrated clay under my arms for about 30 minutes before I shower to keep the lymph nodes healthy. I feel so clean and purified after doing the underarm clay treatment. I have to tell you I even had cystic breasts that are all clear now, so the clay may have also helped with that condition as well. - Gladys M.

Cleared My Acne
Drinking your clay and applying it as a mask has cleared up my acne totally.  I  mention this to my visitors who would be interested in acne cures. Thank you. - Marisa T.

Clear Skin with Clay
I am just loving the clay! I use it to wash my face every night and it has kept my skin clearer than it has been in years! - Marlisa H.

White Heads, Cracked Fingers and Weight Loss
I am so excited because I have had this white head on my forehead for years and you couldn't pop it or get to it because it was so deep under the skin. I decided to try the clay on it. Well it worked. I'm not sure how many applications it was because at first I was just doing a whole mask on my face and then after several applications I thought, I wonder if this would get rid of this white head so then I think I put 2 applications directly on the white head and left it on overnight. Now I don't have to go to the dermatologist. The clay also brought out another weird blemish on my lower eyelid so now I have clay on that. We'll see what happens. I'm going to try it on skin tags. It's fun to see what the clay can do.
Day 2: I just used the hydrated clay this morning again on that one little hard clear bump that came out on my lower eyelid and it's now gone, also while doing that, I was soaking my finger tips in the hydrated clay for 30 min. and it was weird. The clay opened the cracks up and now they don't hurt. Yea!!! In the 2 weeks that I've been using the Living Clay, I took off 3 pounds. So happy about that! - Susan M.

No Acne during PMS
About 6 weeks ago, someone recommended that I try Bentonite clay for an overall detox. When I ordered the clay, I noticed that it was supposed to help with acne but since I have tried many different products, with varying degrees of success, I didn't really expect anything remarkable. When I first began eating the clay, I began to feel almost overwhelmingly exhausted everyday. This lasted for about 2 weeks, and I can only assume it was a detox effect. Soon after, however, my energy returned and, since that time, I have felt better than ever. What really impressed me though is that for the first time in 20 years, my face stayed perfectly clear during PMS. Other products have helped to control the acne for most of the month but before my period, forget it- nothing has ever worked before. I kept waiting for the breakouts and couldn't believe my eyes when my skin looked so great. Such a simple remedy and so inexpensive. - Sincerely, Christina G.

Adult Acne with Scarring
Let me tell you what it has done for me....For the past 24 years, I've had acne along with scarring...it is so embarrassing and humiliating to be in your 40's and still break out.  And when I say I've tried everything, for the control of the acne as well as for scar removal, I have tried most of the truly legitimate products that have come on the market and NOTHING has given me the results that Living Clay has! I have used everything from Retin-A to professional Dermabrasion and everything in between , and just cannot bring myself to doing a chemical peel or laser surgery. I take the clay by liquid or capsule once daily and I use the Face & Body Scrub to wash my face, then I use the Wrinkle Release Cream on top of that and once a week I use the Cleansing Clay Maskas a facial. I absolutely LOVE this stuff and hope to never be without it! My skin looks better than it has in years and though I still break out occasionally, it is not near with the severity as before and the scarring is beginning to minimize gently and I guess the best part is my skin is not blotchy or ruddy, I don't even wear make-up anymore because I have a natural glow! I also have to say that I think it is the combination of taking the clay internally as well as using it externally the way I do that has brought such wonderful results. Thank you everyone at Living Clay Co!  To know that I am using a product that is so good for me and beneficial is an awesome feeling! - Lori H. “Clay Lover for Life”

Clay Great for Deep Pimple
I just wanted to post about another clay success, I sometimes get these painful, deep pimples on my chin, seems to be a hormonal thing, and I got one last week. I started out putting Clearasil on it, then thought of my clay, and used that. I put a good blob on before bed, and after a few minutes could feel a throbbing feeling, as it pulled out the inflammation. I put a very light coat on during the day, and heavy at night, and it was much better in just a few days, usually takes longer. It is still there a little, but hardly at all, and I am giving it a break because the surrounding skin started to get dry, but this is great, much better than this usually goes!
And you can use this as a testimonial, if you like, Perry! - Mary Beth

Acne Boils
My oldest son suffers from acne boils. I put clay on it for an evening then he showers it off. We don't keep it damp as I want a strong pulling/drying action. The next day his face is almost clear...my husband is amazed! - Esther

Clearer Skin
I've been using the clay on my face for about a year.  My skin is clearer and at the first site of a breakout, the clay goes on.  I often sleep with a light layer for maintenance, which really aids in prevention of acne. I've thrown out all other products and have saved a ton of money!! - Heather D.

Teenage Acne
When my son, Ryan, hit puberty his face erupted with acne.  The poor kid had it so bad that you could hardly see his face underneath all the zits.  I took him to a dermatologist who wanted to prescribe an oral medication.  Because I know the havoc taking medication can have on the body I was against that.  Next the doctor prescribed a topical ointment of Rentin A, this caused his sign to turn bight red and it became extremely painful in the sunshine.  Imagine an active teenage boy who loves to ski, play in the pool with his brothers and soccer with his friends, hiding inside all day because even to walk outside was too painful.  To occupy his time inside he spent a lot of time in front of the TV or the computer, this started to cause a little chubbiness around his middle.  Now not only was his face literally peeling off and bright red – it looks worse than just the acne, he was becoming an introverted couch potato.  Michael Morningstar introduced the Living Clay to us last year and after just a few weeks of using just the clay daily as a mask, Ryan’s acne has for the most part cleared up, he is back outside enjoying his life and we are not paying an arm and a leg for prescriptions. - Angie F.

Acne
My daughter has fought with acne for two years.  We’d tried every over-the-counter remedy on the market, and nothing worked.  A friend told us about bentonite clay, and we decided to give it a try.  My daughter began applying the clay once a day, letting it dry, and then washing it off.  At first, she experienced some redness, but we were told to expect that, so she kept using it.  Within 1 week, her face was clear of pimples, and within two weeks, there weren’t even any red marks left!  I’ve never seen her so happy! -  Martha B.

Reduction in Blackheads
I just got some calcium bentonite clay yesterday, and used it as a mask on my face.  IMMEDIATELY after rinsing it off, I noticed a HUGE reduction in my blackheads, which I have had problems with for years!  WOW!!! I could not believe it. I thought I’d have to use it for a few weeks to see results, but no – literally after the first use there was a huge improvement.  The mask felt great while it was on too. I swear I could feel it working. - Kristian M. H.

Boil on Stomach
I am a practicing Electrologist in the San Antonio, Texas area. I just wanted to share with you that a client of mine had great success with clay on an infected area of her skin. She showed me a very large boil or cyst on her stomach. It presented itself from the rubbing of clothing at her waist band. She had it for several months before she finally consulted me about it. I recommended using calcium bentonite clay. She applied a wet paste and left it on her stomach for about 15 minutes. Then she wiped it off with a wet wash cloth and went to sleep. When she took a shower the next morning she noticed the infection was gone. She showed me the area when she came in for her next appointment and I could hardly believe it was the same area. The boil was completely gone. You could see that the skin area was now healing. I have used the clay on skin problems before but I have never seen it work so well or so quickly. This is a true testament to its effectiveness. - Maryellen L.

Clay Masks and Wrinkle Magic
I made my first order for a 4 oz jar of clay and received a complimentary jar of Wrinkle Release with it.  I make a clay mask and me, my mom and all my daughters were running around with these masks on . . . and we could not believe how tight they pulled . . . great for the circulation and helping clear and smooth your face.  But what really impressed me, and quite by surprise, I used the Wrinkle Release Cream the next morning.  Literally . . . right before my eyes, I watched the sagginess and wrinkles pull up around my mouth!  I wasn't expecting anything like that!  But you can literally see the difference.  So now I use it every morning as I seldom wear base.  Does it permanently make wrinkles go away? No. But it sure does a great immediate and temporary job. - Lorena L.

Clay for Facials and Skin Care
First, I need to say I am 70.  So I don't expect skin of a 20 year old.  However, I bet it feels like I have skin of a 50 year old.  I, too, have many brown spots on my face from sun damage.  I use Living Clay, a cleansing clay mask.  When I shake the jar, it vibrates.  Feels like it is alive.  I use it several times a week.  I wash my face and put it on and leave it for half an hour.  I usually check my e-mail during that time.  I rinse it off and my face feels so smooth, tight and beautiful.  Notice I said it feels beautiful.  I don't wear as much makeup.  I can't forget I am 70.  I can't honestly say it has removed anything yet.  I, too, am new at clay. I think eventually it will help sun damage.  If not, I am happy with "the good feeling".  It's not expensive and I am sure you would be pleased.  Check out the web site.  It says it better than I can. - Barbara M.

Healthy Looking Skin and More Energy
The biggest pluses that I have had after drinking clay every day for 8 months is: (1)  Much increased energy, sustained throughout the day, and (2) Healthier, better-looking skin all over my body. I have had other good things happen as well, but I can really attest to these 2 that I mentioned. Anyone who might be considering taking clay but haven't taken that leap should definitely give it a try for at least 2-3 months. It certainly can't hurt you, and you have so many good things to gain. I personally believe the most effective way to see results is to drink it. If one's body is very toxic then the baths would definitely be a good thing too. - H. Gage

Stopped Clay-Lost my Glow
I love taking clay, would rather miss a meal than miss taking my clay. Stopped taking it for four days to do a gallbladder cleanse and my husband said, "Your face has lost its glow." I looked in the mirror and his observation was spot on. My glow returned after I restarted the drinking of the clay on the 5th day. Thank you for this product. - Linda R. 

Skin Improvement
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. - Aisha G.

Clear, Smooth Skin
Since I’ve been using bentonite clay my friends think I have facials or microdermabrasion done all the time. They remark on how clear and smooth my skin looks and I can only attribute it to this wonder bentonite clay. It’s easy and gets results. - Denise H.

Glowing Skin - Liver Spot Vanished
About two years ago, I accidentally came across the WARL radio station in Providence which was airing The Power Hour at that time.  Working as a structural 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.  And 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 for them! Then, one day Joyce had this guest on who was talking about eating dirt every day!  I thought "what!?"  As I listened to this person 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 thing 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.  And 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‘d had on my left cheek since my last pregnancy which was in 1989, about the size of a quarter, which had started to rise at one point, was completely gone!  My complexion really was even-toned and radiant!  I hadn’t even noticed until that lovely comment was made! - Donna A.

Shingles
My daughter was 7 years old when she came down with a case of the shingles.  It started on the top of her head and ran two straight lines down the front and side.  She was in severe pain.  The doctor told us there was nothing he could do, if it got into her eye she could become blind.  The medications available were only for adults, too strong for children.  As the shingles continued it's course my prayers became more fervent.  I felt impressed to make a poultice from Aztec Indian Healing Clay.  I had learned about it years ago when I used it for fire ant bites.  Within 30 minutes she felt better.  Within 24 hours there was a marked improvement.  Within 4 days it was cleared up.  I have tried to tell everyone I know about this remedy.  I love clay and have used bentonite for several cleanses.  To me, there is no other way to cleanse!  Thank you. - Dianna L.

Shingles
Your service and products are incredible and I am telling everyone especially with any shingles outbreak.  There is no doubt your Muscle Rub naturally deals with pain relief while my protocol shortens duration to a week with sleep and minor functioning instead of total incapacity.  With reoccurring shingles, the Muscle Rub stops the pain in its tracks.  In July I received your larger size because the regular size disappeared much too quickly.  Both of the jars, SOOTHE 16 oz and 4 lb Living Clay Detox Clay Powder, were emptied last November during my last outbreak and I have finally used every speck in the Muscle Rub jar.  I consider it vital to have Muscle Rub on hand and not having either product is a big no-no for me! Life support and massive drug use took its toll (move than a decade) and just over a year ago I was hospitalized for respiratory distress for the eighth time in 6 months and gargling GSE seemed to be making the difference in my throat. With my arms full of IVs AGAIN I saw my first full body shingles outbreak and I got my diagnosis but I found medications not only ineffective but deadly. Creating my protocol released me with my full recovery in just over 48 hours. My two outbreaks since require no hospital or respiratory care. I am empowered at home and I have found your products offer the maximum comfort.  I have had a multitude of conditions because I was dragged under a moving pickup not fully understood until I could heal.  Where therapy is still addressing scar tissue I discover the virus is released in the damaged tissue. I am finally seeing a recovery level beyond my expectations when a case of it exited my left eye and required less than a week to take its course.  The oils in soothe never irritated any eye or face tissue!  I packed in on and washed it off for more without distress of any kind. I saw a full recovery and did not need any of the specialists at my disposal.  Again, thank you! - Donna M.

Poison Ivy/Poison Oak
Yesterday, I was introduced to Living clay to help a severe case of poison oak.  I applied a small amount of the clay directly on the poison oak and in  24 hours it was dried up and was almost gone.  It did not take long to see the healing results.  I feel so much better! - Michael F.

Poison Ivy
I would like to tell you a story of my use of Calcium Bentonite Clay. Back in July my husband Tom and I went for a drive north of Winnipeg, Manitoba to look for blueberries.  We had gone prepared for poison ivy, sweater, pants, socks the works.  We were hot.  On the trip back to the city we stopped at the side of the road and picked hyssop, its a black licorice mint plant with purple flowers. Anyhow, we never noticed any poison ivy so we  picked the hyssop.  About two days later poison ivy showed up on me.  I wished I had known about the clay last year.  I was head to toe covered in poison ivy.  Anyways, it was not bad at first, so I covered it with a bandaid, big no-no.  As I seen it had spread, Tom made a container of hydrated clay from the dry clay.  He would put a plastic glove on and spread the hydrated clay on both my legs.  I would let the clay stay on my legs til it was nearly dry.  It brought out all the oils from the poison ivy.  I was also washing my legs in cold water and ivory soap which I do recommend.  It was the calcium bentonite clay that worked real well.  It took two weeks from the time the poison ivy showed up to clear up with the clay.  Tom also added some Super Silver Solution and a magnesium citrate caplet to the mix. I had some scaring left so I bought some witchhazel/aloe vera gel lotion and that along with the clay cleared up the poison ivy.  We also brush our teeth with the hydrated clay before using toothpaste of which is a no fluoride toothpaste made by Nature's Best. - Tammy

Warts
For almost two years I've had a succession of warts, too many to count, running from my high cheekbone and hairline down the neck and into the chin.  I've had three anesticians look at them and one medical doctor.  I was told it would take a minimum of four trips to have them burned off with perhaps some scarring occurring. In addition, I counted every wart I could see on my inner left wrist. There were 26. In April 2009 I started drinking two ounces a.m. and p.m. of Living Clay.  The beginning of June I upped the intake to three ounces twice a day.  Within four days of increasing the ounces, all the warts on my face vanished.  Presently I have nine warts left on my left wrist. There's absolutely no scarring....not even an indication through red or white marks that warts ever even existed. I'm now a believer and life-long user of Living Clay.  Wonderful! - L.D.Y.

Warts
All my life I've dealt with warts. I'd have them removed from one part of my body only to have them reappear somewhere else. I learned that warts are the result of a virus that has no cure, so I thought I was doomed to deal with this all my life. There was one nasty looking wart on the right side of my nose just below my eye that bothered me more than any I'd ever dealt with. It didn't hurt ... it just looked nasty, and it was too close to my eye to use any of the commercial "wart remover" products on. So not too long ago I decided to start using clay on the wart. But I wanted to do more than just get rid of the wart ... I wanted to do "something" to insure it wouldn't come back. So I decided to start drinking liquid clay, too, in the hopes of removing once and for all this virus from my body. I can't sit here and tell you that I know the virus that causes warts is gone. I can tell you, though, that the wart on my nose is almost gone, and it no longer looks like a booger stuck to the side of my face!  - Phillip M.

Wart Removed
For years, I had a small wart on the underside of my right breast.  It never cause me any pain or discomfort, but it always bothered me that it was there.  So, a few weeks ago, I decided I'd had enough of it!  I covered the wart with Living Clay twice a day, and bandaged it to keep the clay in place.  In just 6 days, the wart was GONE.  I'm a happy camper!  - Cheryl M.

Black Wart
I had a black wart appear on the side of my temple about a year ago....darn thing was driving me crazy, as it made me look like I had a longer eye brow on one side...LOL. Doctor couldn't get rid of it at all, I tried every OTC wart remedy available. Well, I think you know where I'm going with this....it's almost gone from applying the Living Clay a few times day. It's so faint now that I expect it will be invisible in the next few days. I will also show this to the doctor. - Georgene

Skin Mole
Just a note about skin moles. I had read the info from Phil who used the clay for a wart under his eye with great success. So, I tried putting the clay on a skin mole I have had for 15+ years on my jaw line. Guess what? Hooray, the mole is almost gone. I work 7 days a week and can't wear it during the day. But every night for the last week I have been putting it on before bed and now since it works, I am trying it on other moles. Gotta love the clay!!  - Joann F.

Mole and Wart
I'm taking the clay and when I use it as a mask, layers of skin peeled off a mole I had on my face!!!  And, I had a small wart on my finger that just fell off, (and actually left a small hole!), but I never put the clay on it, so that must have come from ingesting it.  AMAZING!!! - Rosemary

Age Spots and Skin Tags
Just drink the clay, I believe that's why my skin tags are gone and I had age spots on my hands that are gone too. - Susan M.

Age Spots
I have had significant lightening of age spots since I started using the clay. The cleaning of one's liver is a major action of the clay and the spots lighten as a by-product of liver cleaning. Perry's skin is gorgeous! And I'm going for the number two spot! Drink the clay it will help much more than simply placing it on the skin. I've even had friends and family remark on how much my hands have changed as a result of the lightening. - Justine F.

Clay Lightening Freckles
I never had an age spot, but clay has definitely made my freckles invisible. I believe the gentle exfoliating nature of clay is what removes the pigment on the top  layers of the skin. Good stuff! Blessings & Peace - Georgene

Psoriasis
I have been using clay for about a month now , in that month I have noticed an increase in my energy, I feel better. I also have noticed that all my Psoriasis has disappeared completely, I tried cortisone creams for years. My friends and husband have noticed a brighter appearance in my face. I am so thankful for your clay and plan on keep using it the rest of my life. I love taking clay, would rather miss a meal than miss taking and using my clay.  I have told many of my friends about your product. - Linda R.

Eczema
My son was diagnosed with Asthma when he was 2 years old. He is now 7 years old and has always had problems with eczema but over the past year it has gotten worse. He would go through the day at school itching and then come home itching. He has tried several steroid creams from the doctor as well as oatmeal baths, benadryl, and even monitoring what he was eating. It is so mind boggling and hurtful not knowing how to help your child when they are in pain. I put him in the clay bath and he immediately began to tell me how great it felt on his body. I let him relax and lie down in it. He is usually itching by the time he gets out of the tub and will continue to itch the rest of the night. It had become a major distraction for him when he was trying to practice his singing at night. He couldn’t stand still and concentrate without having to stop and scratch. After he got out of the tub I noticed he wasn’t itching and I asked him how he felt and he said good. I told him that if he started itching later on that night to let me know. At bedtime, he still wasn’t itching. I asked him when he woke up the next morning if he was itching and again he said no. This has truly been a blessing to him. I thank God for this product.  I will continue to use the clay because it is so relieving to see him not itching and happy. That is something I haven’t seen in almost a year. - Cecelia L.

Itchy Bumps under Arms
I just personally witnessed another miracle with Living Clay. I had a client that I had been working on for 2 ½ years (ear coning and colonics). Under her arms were these red bumps that itched. The skin would peel from this area. She said she’d had this for as long as she could remember. She had never gone to a doctor. Just before moving from Los Angeles, I worked on her several times-ear coning and colonics. I moved to Charlotte, NC with my arms full of red itchy bumps. At night they seemed to get overwhelmingly itchy. One time I scratched so hard I drew blood. I use tea tree oil as a deodorant and I could no longer use it because it now stung. I first covered my underarms topically with LC Hydrated clay and it felt so cool and soothing. It would stop the itching temporarily. After doing this a couple of times I noticed the areas under my arms had begun clearing up. That  night I took 4 LC Clay capsules I had made then two more soon after I went to bed. I was also bathing in the Clay powder. That night I went through something emotional. I awoke the next morning and noticed my underarms had cleared up even more over night. The next day, I took 6 more capsules. The horrific rash of bumps was almost completely gone! Incredible. Still some slight itching. The 3^rd day I took 4 capsules and a clay bath. I have also been using your soap and brushing my teeth with the clay. My underarms are free of bumps and itching and the horrible uncomfortable madness is gone.  That is one thing I could identify that energetically got passed from my client to me! I wonder how many other things I am holding that my clients have released that I’m not aware of. I think LC Clay is excellent protection for practitioners that work in others energy. Amazing. I feel soooo much better. Clay… God’s gift to mankind. - Moonlite

Clay for Hives and Headache
I have to tell you how much your clay has saved my bacon.  The first night after taking this olive leaf extract that apparently is extremely potent, I broke out in hives all over my hips/thighs.  They told me not to take any medications, let it all come out, so the only thing I had was the clay.  I bathed in it twice a day with 1/2 cup and no hives after that.  When I get a headache, I just take a bath and put some on my head and it's gone.  Drinking it too. - Barbara H.

Hand Rash
It was my sister's birthday so I bought her some Bentonite clay.  When I brought her present to her I had also given her a small sample of the clay which had already been prepared.  Just a day prior to my visit , my sister broke out with tiny pus-like pimples all over both of her hands.  Not only did her hand look "diseased" but she complained terribly about the itch.  I was so happy I had provided her with a prepared sample along with her present.  I urged her to immediately apply the clay to her hands and within a half hour the itching had subsided.  I told her to use it as often as possible and she told me within a couple of days the rash had disappeared. We don't know exactly what caused this skin outbreak but apparently it was an allergic reaction to something.  The calcium Bentonite clay eradicated the problem.  Imagine -- no waiting in the doctor's office, no harmful drugs with side affects.  This product is wonderful!! - Gail P.

Monstrous Skin Rash
We use Living Clay in our green smoothies EVERY morning...  in the tub for a nice, soothing, detoxifying soak weekly and I use it to brush my teeth... the gum disease is going away and my teeth are revitalizing! It's also getting rid of bacteria in my mouth and internal parasites as well. I was absolutely plagued for nearly 3 years by a monstrous skin rash all over my body... Living Clay has been a VITAL part of my detoxification and rejuvenation program! It's the BEST thing I've used in 65 years!! I LOVE recommending it to others because of what the clay has done for me! - Jan J.

Oily Skin – LC Creams & Lotions
I wanted to write in to tell you just how much I love all the products I've tried from the Living Clay Co. The clay mask is hands down the best product I've ever used to control my oily skin without drying it out. After falling in love with the mask, I began trying other products, and I now own nearly the entire line. The bar soaps smell amazing, and knowing that I'm not using chemicals on my skin every day in the shower makes me feel good. I've gotten my mom and aunt hooked on the soaps as well! I also use the facial moisturizer in the morning and night, and it works wonders. My newest obsession, however, is the Green Tea Citrus body cream. The scent is so light and clean, and the cream is not heavy or greasy at all. It hydrates my skin so well, and keeps me feeling refreshed all day long. I want to thank you and your staff so much for being devoted to making wonderful products that are truly pure and beneficial for my skin. I am a Living Clay fan for life! - Nell S.

Tossed her Mary Kay
I am a former Mary Kay director.  I have used Mary Kay for 13 years.  I use to be very shallow minded about products for my face and body...and I would only use Mary Kay.  I was determined to believe that it was the best and always would be.  About 2 months ago I acquired some samples of Living Clay stuff from a very wonderful friend and I figured...well she’s so sweet; one of my best friends...might as well try it and tell her what I think about it.  I can really give people an honest opinion about skin care...even if it hurts.  LOL.  Anyway, I tried it!  I was floored.  I kept trying it and I just knew that it had to just be something that would not last, that my skin would adjust and then start acting up again....well I am happy to say, I have a NEW product that I am totally standing by now.  All my Mary Kay stuff went out the window...and Living Clay Skin Care went on my shelf.  I am now waiting for a final step ...a mineral face powder of some sort....totally ready to toss the Mary Kay protectant out the window too.  That’s how much I love Living Clay Products.  If you just try this product you will never want anything else on your face or body again.  I have seen the care and work that goes into this product first hand...its worth every penny, plus more if you ask me.  I want everything on my shelf they make, its all just wonderful stuff. - Melissa H.

Better Than Expensive Makeup
I just want to take this opportunity to tell you that my wife used to buy very expensive makeup, (Shiseido) and she feels that the similar products made by/for Living Clay Co. are superior, and even though they are expensive compared to the stuff you find at the drug store, they are not expensive at all when compared to the premium makeup manufacturer’s products, and they are better, so they are a better value. And of course your products use all natural ingredients, unlike the other stuff, so they are healthier to use. - Jerel C.

Pregnancy Mask
I had twins about 4 years ago...and because of extra hormones....I got what doctors call a pregnancy mask.  Its like dark patchy discolored areas on your face.  It can be on your nose, cheeks and for head.  Fortunately mine was just on my forehead...but it was very dark and I was totally embarrassed by it.  I would never even think about leaving the house without my makeup on.  Well I started using Living Clay Products...and oh my gosh...you should see my forehead.  I have been using it for about a month now....just a little in the morning and at night....and you can barely see anything.  My skin is all even and it just looks wonderful.  I have tried everything this past four years to get rid of the problem and doctors just pretty much had told me to get use to it....but thanks to Living Clay...its almost gone. Thank you so much. - Melissa H.

Cysts and Varicose Veins
Just wanted to share my experiences regarding two cysts that I have on the top of my head. I have been using the clay since Mar 2008. For awhile, I used only the Living Clay internally, then for awhile I used the Terramin internally. I like the Living Clay much better. I still like the Terramin for external applications. Also, for a few weeks, I was taking the Living Clay 2oz. in the am and 2oz. in the pm. I was trying to always take the clay on an empty stomach followed with water as recommended. It got to be hard to maintain that schedule. For the last month, I have been consistently taking 1 1/2 - 2oz. every morning. The good news-- the two cysts have been greatly reduced. Also, I work 7 days a week and am on my feet a good deal of everyday. Because of this, I have varicose veins which have been reduced and the circulation in my legs has improved. - Joan

Fever Blister
Just wanted to tell everyone I am very new in the clay family. But I got a fever blister on my lip like in the corner which was really sore and yucky looking, I decide to try the clay....I wet my lip with water got a little dry clay and stuck it on the blister at night before bed did that 3 nights and now I am looking for the blister......thought that was very impressive....how fast it dried it up....you can see where it used to be, very faint. - Violet

Growth on Forehead
My husband had surgery scheduled to remove a 'growth' on his forehead. He's balding and has lots of skin damage from sun. This one spot kept getting worse and was sticking up. Skin cancer, he thought. I had to force him to let me treat it with hydrated clay. After the second application, it came off. The thing was like a rock and now there's a small indentation there. I'll bet that goes away. - Paula

Ringworm
My son had ringworm...I know, yuck right.  I had never experienced any problems like this before. I had no clue what to do.  But I did remember hearing that clay extracts the negative out of skin...so I thought, hey I'll try it, see what happens for a few days...and maybe avoid a doctor bill.  Do you know within 4 days of putting the hydrated clay on the ringworm spot...it was all dried up and flaking off.  That’s right, the clay totally got rid of the ringworm and no doctor bill.  I am totally addicted now.  I even drink it now.  I cook with it all the time...so my kids get the benefits of clay too. - Melissa H.

Clay Before Makeup
I just wanted to tell you that I started mixing a little bit of hydrated clay with my moisturizer for my face and I love it! It absorbs any oily spots like my nose, forehead and chin. It gives a nice matte finish. Plus, my eye shadow goes on better and stays on better as well as my lipstick. Just a tiny bit all over my face and neck. - Susan

Sweets Syndrome
I have a skin disorder called Sweets Syndrome. When I went to see my massage therapist, I thought I was on the verge of a breakout (which usually means 1+ month or more on prednisone and another strong medication called Dapsone). She had recently bought some green calcium bentonite clay. We made a poultice of this clay and she gave me a little to take home with me. With 1 more poultice and 1 clay bath I was able to completely heal my skin and prevent a breakout – without resorting to major medication! - Sunny M.

Injuries

Thorn Removal
I just read about the white head success. I had my own weird thing here yesterday. I bought a house in 2005 in central Pa. Well I have this really unusual flower that grows from seeds under my living room window. It gets these kiwi sized seed pods on it that have thorns on outside sort of like a horse chestnut. I collected the seed pods off last year's vines in the fall and saved them in a plastic box. If I do not do that the seeds scatter all over the yard and come up in all the wrong places from the winter winds. So I cracked open the seed pods and scattered a few seeds back in the flower bed for this year's crop. I was going to use the rest of the seeds to share with friends who many want them. Anyhow - while cracking open the prickly things I managed to get some thorn spikes in my fingers. Most I managed to pull completely back out. One stuck in my finger and stayed. It was deep. I tried working on it with tweezers last night with no success. I even trimmed some of the callus like skin off with finger nail clippers trying to access the thorn. It hurt. It was getting swollen. So before bed I put a thick blob of hydrated clay on it and put a band aide over it. This morning when I touched the band aide where the clay was it really hurt. So just a bit ago I sat down with desk light and tweezers and pealed the band aide back. I had to flick away some strange blobs of clay that were weird colored and then I found the thorn piece with tweezers. I lifted it right out. It was bigger piece than I thought it was, but it is out! I put the band aide back on with more clay on the wound to draw out any puss or other stuff in there. - Karen

Sports Injury
A few weeks ago, my husband hurt his arm doing martial arts. Fortunately, I had a sample of the living clay muscle rub & used it on him. The next morning, he was surprised at how much better his arm felt! Thank you, Perry, for posting the ingredients! I had all of them & make my own muscle rub now & use it on my feet. It feels so good & it has helped my problem foot heal. Plus, I've used it on cuts & it takes the pain away within seconds, in addition to helping them heal!!! Truly, a great product! - Gennifer J.

Shoulder Injury
My daughter introduced me to clay several months ago.  She gave me a starter set as a gift.  Earlier this year, I sprained my right shoulder.  I had to take physical therapy on the same shoulder a few years ago, so I was very concerned.  Melanie came over one evening when I was in terrible pain.  She prepared a clay compress, massaged my shoulder, applied the compress, and fixed me a cup of tea.  The pain decreased enough for me to sleep several hours that night.  After continuing the compresses for three or four days, I had achieved almost a full range of motion.  Unbelievable, compared to the weeks of therapy that it took to regain motion in my shoulder several years before. I just wanted to share my story and say "thank you". - Teddy J., Artist

Pulled Hangnail
I pulled a hangnail from the side of my finger. It pulled from deeeep, and hurt. After a while I forgot about it. The next morning when I woke my finger hurt pretty bad and was swollen and hot. I dabbed some of the clay mask on it and in less than a half hour (maybe 5-10 minutes?) the pain was gone - and didn't come back. No infection. Nothing. I was so happy! I'm so thankful for this WONderful clay! - Chloie L.

Cut Finger to the Bone
I have used the clay to  drink  and  I have used to power form to stop  bleeding after I have cut my hand down to the bone I keep the clay on my hand for two weeks and it looked better then if I had went to get it sewed up I will never be without my clay again. - Larry W.

Foot Injury
I injured my foot simply by squatting down for an extended period of time.  Now my left foot is swollen, red, and very warm to the touch. It seems to get worse when I stand on it. !  I had not been able to wear a shoe for 2 weeks because the swelling was so bad. I heard your broadcast on the Power Hour and ordered some clay.  I used the clay on my foot. I could not believe the results.  I made a thick paste like texture with the clay, applied it to my foot approximately 1/4 thick. The clay seems to have a very powerful drawing affect.  Within 30 minutes the swelling was reduced by at least 2/3.  The fluid was coming out of my foot so fast that the clay kept falling off at the point of injury and I had to keep reapplying it until most of the fluid was gone. This stuff is great!   It was amazing. After 3 applications like the one mentioned above, my foot returned to normal with no pain whatsoever. I thank you and The Power Hour for carrying this product. - Joe G.

Cyclist
I've been cycling for about 2 months and lately my legs and especially the area around my knees have been really sore. I used the Muscle Rub and it works great. It's a great product! - Serge R.

Pencil Lead under the Skin
I have a friend that had a piece of lead from a pencil stuck under the skin of his cheek, and he was using that clay as a face mask many times a week for acne. After a month it went away. He was thinking of getting it surgically removed, but the clay beat him to it. I love this clay and am proud that I learned about it. - Shane M.

Broken Toe
I wanted to share an experience I had today.  I broke my big toe yesterday, but thought it was just sprained so I
walked around on it all afternoon and iced it a bit. By evening I was in so much pain I couldn't walk and finally went to Urgent Care. They x-rayed and confirmed the break. I went home on crutches and with a post-op boot, am told it will take 4-6 weeks to heal. I slept with my foot elevated last night but woke up several times with throbbing pain, I even broke down and took a dose of a narcotic/ibuprofen for the first time in my life (I even had three children without any painkillers!). The narcotic didn't help. This morning I finally had a second to apply hydrated clay. Within minutes the pain almost completely subsided. According to the fracture specialist, most of the pain is due to swelling and as the swelling goes down the throbbing pain will decrease. The difference the clay made was incredible. I'm just about ready to rinse the dried clay off and apply a second coat because I'm getting achy again, but just wanted to pass this along. Feeling grateful for clay right now. - Jenna

Stubbed Little Toe
I have listened to the audio information on the 'About Clay' website. So very amazing. I love hearing your voice, and all the great things you have to teach about clay. I've received the shipment of clay, and am using the liquid to drink, and the hydrated clay on my little toe that I stubbed so hard at Christmas time, I think I broke it. I've been waiting for it heal. After 2 applications of the clay, I hardly know it's there. And it seems that even though I've only been drinking it for 3 days, I am feeling so good. Sleeping like a log, and feeling wonderful. Thank you for everything.  - Deb. B.

Infected Toe
I have an injured little toe which can't stand being in a shoe (very inconvenient) and has gotten infected, gradually getting more irritated over 5 or six days. I tried all the usuals, washing, drying, soaking in hot salt water, hydrogen peroxide, and it was just getting redder and oozing. So last night I tried clay (French Green in a paste, directly on the toe.) Bingo! It is SO much better today! I was reluctant to put clay on an open oozing sore, but it really did the trick.  - Adeha

Injured, Swollen Foot
I injured my foot simply by squatting down for an extended period of time.  My left foot was swollen, red, and very warm to the touch. It seemed to get worse when I stood on it. I had not been able to wear a shoe for 2 weeks because the swelling was so bad. I heard your broadcast on the Power Hour and ordered some clay.  I used the clay on my foot. I could not believe the results.  I made a thick paste like texture with the clay, applied it to my foot approximately 1/4 inch thick. The clay seemed to have a very powerful drawing affect.  Within 30 minutes the swelling was reduced by at least 2/3.  The fluid was coming out of my foot so fast that the clay kept falling off at the point of injury and I had to keep reapplying it until most of the fluid was gone. This stuff is great!   It was amazing. After 3 applications like the one mentioned above, my foot returned to normal with no pain whatsoever. - Joe G.

Dead Skin on Foot
A few days ago I pulled on a piece of dead skin on the bottom of my foot and it went all the way to the quick.  Ouch!  Since it was time for bed, I put lotion on my feet and didn't think about it again......until I put my foot on the floor the next morning.  Every step I took I was painfully aware of what I had done to the ball of my foot.  I got my clay, put a big glob on my foot, covered it with a bandaid and got ready for work.  Hours later, as I was walking down a hall at work, I thought about my foot and realized that I couldn't remember which foot had the bandaid on it!  I didn't feel a thing!  Not until I got home that night and took off my shoes, did I know for sure which foot I had put the clay on.  This clay is awesome! - MH

Sprained Ankle
I  was 1200 miles from home helping my elderly father move and slipped and fell on his front porch. My ankle appeared to be sprained and cut as well. Fortunately, I had brought some clay with me and packed the ankle within minutes. The pain literally disappeared as if it never happened. I was able to continue packing and drove home that day. I’ve read stories how clay takes the sting out and now I’m a true believer. Clay is AMAZING. It's like American Express. Don't leave home without it!! - Diane J.

Building up Calluses
I recently started playing guitar again after not playing for several years. It had been so long that my finger calluses were gone, and starting out was painful! Luckily, I got the bright idea to dip my fingertips in some clay right after playing. I can't tell you how surprised I was. The pain went away almost immediately, and I never developed any blisters. I keep a jar in my guitar case now.  - Phillip M.

Mouth, Teeth & Gums

Tooth Paste Recipe
I have been mixing 3 drops of tea tree and 6 drops of peppermint to 2oz. of clay, very yummy.  I am sure other combos will work but I think it is a great mix.  My teeth and my gums just feel so clean, and I am sure that my teeth are better off for it. - Sharon

Clay Whitening Toothpaste
For the toothpaste I just mix 2 teaspoons of clay with 3 teaspoons of water, add a couple drops of Oil of Oregano (kills bacteria and virus). I keep it in a small glass container with a glass lid, and cut a plastic knife to fit inside the dish (the knife is used to scoop the paste on to my toothbrush). This stays near the sink-I do not refrigerate it. It has gotten my teeth whiter. They are actually whiter than my bridge, and the Dentist did a teeth cleaning before the bridge work! Blessings. - Becky

Clay Tooth Paste Dental Care
I tell everyone that calls and says "what do you use?" about the clay. many have bought and tried it and they call back and say they love it too.I don't use regular toothpaste anymore.  I use stuff from the health food stores with no Fluoride when I don't use the clay mixture.  When I use the clay mixture, I put the Miracle 2 gel on my brush, like a "paste," then I dip my brush in the powder clay, then I put 2 drops of Miracle 2 soap, 2 drops of Oil of Propolis, and 2 drops of Oil of Peppermint.  I tried using myrrh, but that stuff is a little strong.  That is the best stuff there is!  My teeth feel so clean and stay that way all day!  I would love to use it every day!  I actually got the idea because I bought a toothpaste by Burt's Bees, and they had clay in it.  I thought, I can do that!  We had a dentist on our show that said you should not use over the counter toothpastes at all.  He said you should just simply use soap.  Interesting!!! Thanks again. - Debbie

Whiter Teeth
I had the sweetest complement this past week. I was having my teeth cleaned and the dental hygienist asked me if I had been using a "whitener for my teeth"...I thought to my self...great! How am I gonna explain this one!? LOL!! I very bravely, sighed, smiled and calmly said "no, I haven't!"...prepared to leave it at that. But NO... she told me my teeth were a lot whiter than last time I had been there and she just wondered what I was doing? "OK, time to fess up, even if i DO sound crazy" I was thinking to myself..."no, I use clay...calcium bentonite clay." I was waiting for her to drop to the floor laughing, but that didn't happen...not at all! She was fascinated...comes to find out, she has a lot of the same beliefs that I do and is on a learning mission herself for a healthier lifestyle as well! I gave her the clay web site plus talked about some of the other holistic things that have made such a big difference in my life in the last 7 months...it was WONDERFUL! I just LOVE sharing what clay has done for me and this was the perfect opportunity, but I didn't even HAVE to mention it, in fact she kind of had to drag it out of me...I know ...shame on me, but this is another "medical professional" and I just KNEW what was coming....LOL!!  That'll teach me! And "YES" by the way...my teeth are about 2 shades lighter than they had been before, and I drink coffee daily...and they are still a really pretty white! I LOVE my clay!!! - Carol S.

Whiter Teeth Healthier Gums
My teeth and gums have never been better and so beautiful. I used to bleach them which I don't think is a very good thing anyway but now I don't have to because I too brush with the clay. AND my last visit to the dentist, they couldn't believe how nice my teeth were doing. My teeth always feel like I just went for a major cleaning after I brush with the clay. They feel as smooth as a glass surface. - Susan M.

Yellow Teeth
I have had a real problem with very yellow teeth. This is in part because my teeth are naturally not a bright white, but also because I refuse to put flouride in my mouth, and I go through phases where I drink a lot of herbal tea. I keep my toothbrush soaking in H2O2 and have tried several kinds of homemade concoctions - usually baking soda-based. None had any impact on my yellow teeth. The other day I mixed some dry clay with some baking soda, added a wee bit of H2O2, vegetable glycerine, stevia power, and essential oil of peppermint. The only real difference was the clay. After 3 days I noticed that my teeth were several shades whiter. I was so happy. I'm still using it and expecting even better results as time goes by. - Chloie L.

Fever Blister
Just wanted to tell everyone I am very new in the clay family. But I got a fever blister on my lip like in the corner which was really sore and yucky looking, I decide to try the clay....I wet my lip with water got a little dry clay and stuck it on the blister at night before bed did that 3 nights and now I am looking for the blister......thought that was very impressive....how fast it dried it up....you can see where it used to be, very faint. - Violet

Cold Sore
I have been doing a detox and got a cold sore. After applying the clay twice, the pain was gone in a couple hours and it only took two days to completely clear. Even with Abreva it takes a couple days, and it leaves the area red for a week. Not this time! Love my clay. - Marelin

Bleeding Gums
My gums bleed when I brush my teeth. (I know that I need to start taking large amounts of Vit. C as this is a major symptom of lack of C) But I thought I'd try packing my teeth with clay at night as an experiment first. As experiments go--this was a winner! The first morning after packing dry clay on my gum line at night, the bleeding was less than half. The second morning, barely pink and the third morning -- no bleeding at all. And my gums look healthier in color. So, guess I'll be taking C AND packing my teeth/gums every night. - Renee G.

Gum Disease Disappearing with Clay
We use Living Clay in our green smoothies EVERY morning...  in the tub for a nice, soothing, detoxifying soak weekly and I use it to brush my teeth... the gum disease is going away and my teeth are revitalizing! It's also getting rid of bacteria in my mouth and internal parasites as well. I was absolutely plagued for nearly 3 years by a monstrous skin rash all over my body... Living Clay has been a VITAL part of my detoxification and rejuvenation program! It's the BEST thing I've used in 65 years!! I LOVE recommending it to others because of what the clay has done for me! - Jan J.

Clay on Cavities
The most impressive thing that happened to me with the clay dealt with my mouth.  Over the past several years, in spite of meticulously brushing and flossing my teeth, I have had an acidic PH in my mouth and many cavities.  Prior to beginning the clay, I had been diagnosed with 5 more cavities after only 6 months.  I had 3 of them taken care of and then I made an appointment to have the remaining 2 taken care of.  At the time of the first appointment, I had just begun to use the clay powder to brush my teeth (prior to bedtime) and tongue and then after I would rinse, I would put more clay powder on my brush and brush it all over my teeth and around the gum line and let it remain there.  Because of various circumstances, it was another month till I was able to go back to the dentist for my appointment.  When I went in, the dentist and the hygienist were both confused as they looked for the two cavities they were supposed to fill.  They could not find them.  I know that they were previously there because they had used the metal pick and I had felt where they poked into the holes.  I told the dentist about the clay and he said that the area must have re-mineralized.  They were both excited about it and they took down the information for the websites and I recommended Perry A~’s book to them.  I will definitely continue on tooth brushing with the clay as I enjoy stronger, healthier teeth which are also whiter looking.  Thank you for pointing out all the good uses of this product. - Donna J.

Healthy Teeth and Bone Density
When I moved to a new town I kept putting off finding a new dentist. Finally my teeth begin to feel unclean and I made an appointment. It was then I realized I had not been to the dentist in 4 years.  I dreaded going.  The good news is I had been brushing my teeth with a calcium Bentonite clay all this time.  I merely put a glob of the hydrated clay ion my tooth brush and tipped it off with a little store bought toothpaste for a better flavor.  I noticed my teeth felt smoother can clean and were much less yellow.  About twice a month I would pack my gums with the dry powder and sleep with it in all night. .  When I got my check up and cleaning I was astounded at the good report. No cavities and he said I should keep my teeth until I am 102 years old because of the bone density. He also said my gums were healthy and I had no loose pocket.  Did I mention I am 71 years young and have all my teeth. I attribute this good report to Living Clay. - Mary T

Bone Infection
Have just been to my new Dentist.  My LAST Dentist did a root canal filling Christmas before last.  Last November most of it fell out and I went to a new Dentist.  The tooth was refilled.  From that time on I have had chronic ear earache, an abscess on the tooth, (which I cured, only to infect again). Am now on my 15^th  dose of antibiotics.  Today the tooth was opened up and the whole story is complete.  Previous dentist only filled two of the three roots on the tooth.  Hence I now have a massive bone infection that will take up to twelve months to get rid of. Your marvellous clay (Living Clay) has done a miraculous job. Previous infection took six weeks to get the swelling down.  It is only four days and most of the swelling has gone.  I am applying a topical compress three times a day. Took your advice and didn't over-do it, also my dogs are receiving the benefit of this wonderful detox product.  I am feeling almost back into the land of the living, was soooo spaced out last Monday, and miserable. - Carol

Abscessed Tooth
What a miracle! I had an abscessed tooth and was beginning to get the toxins spread into my throat and my ears. I called my sister-in-law to see what she thought I should do. I can't take antibiotics they always seem to cause me problems and was not prepared to deal with that again. She had just purchased the clay in powder form and ran some over to me to try. Within two hours after applying a paste to my abscess it had drawn the infection out. I continued to apply the paste that night and the next day to fully heal the tooth and I was infection free. Since the clay worked so well on my tooth I decided to use it for a mask on my face and wow what a difference it made in my skin. Needless to say I am in the process of purchasing my own clay. - Laura G.

Abscessed Tooth & Swollen Jaw
Clay triumphs again!!!!!!! I met with my friend to give him the 4 pound tub of clay to take on the plane and could not believe the difference in his face. The red, hot, angry swelling was completely gone and he said he had no pain in the tooth and only a slight pain right where the jaw hinges which was probably from him clenching his jaw from the pain. The amazing thing is he was not able to use the clay that much as he had to work. He was only able to apply the hydrated on the outside for an hour once during the day but then did apply it and leave it on all night. He also packed the tooth with dry clay and took some internally several times. I told him...... "Do not stop using it even though it seems to be better." So he will keep up the hydrated on his face and neck plus dry around the tooth and drinking liquid 2 x's daily till he gets back a week from today. Now he's all excited about clay and wants me to print out almost everything off the aboutclay website for him. Looks like you've got another believer. And he was amazed when he saw my leg were the cat had literally chewed it up. I would have a hard time proving anything happened as there's not even much in the way of scabbing. - Mary Lee S.

Cutting into the Quick of Dog’s Toenail
I was trimming one of my dogs nails yesterday. NOT one of his favorite things. When trimming one of the back nails he pulled away suddenly and I ended up cutting the quick. He's a big dog there was a lot of bleeding. I was able to put some dry clay on it by hand, but he was till "fretting" and just licked it off and continued to bleed.
What I ended up doing was putting about an inch of clay in a small container and put his foot in it. I made him stand with his foot in the dry clay for about 5 minutes.  As soon as he had his foot in the clay he calmed down, the bleeding stopped and no longer was he obsessed with licking the area. - Debbie B,

Pet Wormer
My puppy was only been de-wormed once, before I got her.  I was suppose to de-worm her two more times but I decided to give her clay instead.  On our first visit to the vet her stool was checked for parasites, and guess what.....no parasites!  The doctor couldn't believe that she was only de-wormed once.  Hooray for the clay!!!!  I continue to mix clay in her food every morning.  Sometimes I give her a little extra when she sticks her nose in the duck poop! - Nancy F.

Puppy Parasite Free
I wanted to tell you that I got a new puppy and immediately started him on the clay twice a day. So he had been on four days of clay when I took him to the vet. He told me after checking his stool 'This is extremely rare!  I haven't seen this in a minimum 10 years . . . even puppies from breeders like yours. All puppies have parasites, but your puppy has none!  No parasites!'  As he shook his head in disbelief as he repeated it!  I told him I know why!  I give him clay! I give him the liquid clay: 10 parts water to 1 part clay. I have been giving him 1/4 tsp in his food. I put a little food in a bowl add 1/4 tsp liquid clay and 1/4 tsp amino acids, a little warm water and mix to make gravy. He laps it up. I give this twice a day. I also do this for my older dog. When I started giving it to the older dog I noticed she became more energetic and happy. The vet also commented on her. He asked how old she is, and I told him nine years old. He was amazed. He said she acts like a puppy. I attribute it to the combination of the clay and amino acids. However, for a while I was out of the amino acids and continued the clay. She continued to be friskier, and her coat fuller and beautiful. She weighs 11 lbs., and I give her 1/2 teaspoon twice a day. - Dorie

Dogs in ChemicallyTreated Yard
Last year after getting some work done in the yard I had to treat the lawn with a chemical pesticide which is something I usually never do. Having to go to an appointment I told my husband not to let the dogs out. Forgetting, he let them outside anyway. About four hours later I returned and saw them and learned they'd gone out almost immediately after I left and in a panic I wrote the aboutclay forum for advice. Perry said to put them in clay water and leave it on them for 20 minutes before rinsing it off and to give them clay water by mouth. I put a cup of dry clay in the laundry tub of water and dipped each dog into it and left it on them for the 20 minutes before rinsing it off and drying them. Each dog also got 6ccs of liquid clay per 10 - 12 pounds of body weight. Not a one of the 12 dogs got even slightly sick and they not only walked, sat and laid on the newly treated grass but playing and wrestling they rolled in it. I'm so grateful I had the clay and the forum where I could get advice. - Mary Lee S.

Doggie Clay Bath Tub
My back simply cannot withstand leaning over a bathtub to soak one, much less two dogs. I bought a large storage box with a lid on it. I mixed the clay water in the storage box and I just leave it in there - outside. I'm not dealing with a poison issue, just itching and likely detox. My mini-spa (storage box) is on a deck. I can stand the dogs in it and hopefully make them 'sit'. I continually stir up the clay from the bottom and douse the bottom 2/3 of their bodies with it. If I don't get their heads and shoulders wet, they'll cooperate. I use a small cup to gradually wet them moving upward. If I need to spot treat, I'm still not getting their heads/shoulders wet. This is NOTHING like getting a bath. I tell them what it would cost for them to go to a spa, etc. - blah, blah. Positive thinking! After getting them to sit in the clay-water as long as possible, I just set them in the yard - no rinsing, no toweling. They can run around, roll in the grass, whatever they want. I just brush or towel them off once they are dry - if necessary. Meanwhile, I assume the clay is doing its thing on their skin. I haven't had any skin dryness problems. Hair conditioner is a dirt magnet. I no longer use it and I don't want it put on my dogs. For squeeky clean hair, pet or human, use a vinegar rinse. It will remove any residue on your hair - soap, conditioner, or clay. - Paula

Pit Bull Allergic to Radiation
My female pitbull cannot tolerate the radiation from x-rays. (She's probably overloaded from the lovely mile-high tower down the road.) She tore her acl last month and the acupuncturist required x-rays before treatment. Immediately after returning home, Lizzy started puking. Everything she ate. For days. All of it. (gross) The injury happened 2 days prior to the x-rays, so I knew it wasn't injury-related. She had experienced excessive puking for many months at a time after previous x-rays. Knowing that living clay will absorb radiation, I put 1tsp of hydrated clay in some wet food. The puking stopped immediately and I saw noticeable improvement in her mobility, very shortly after the clay. Once she was holding food down, I went to every other day, so I could mix Chinese herbs recommended by her vet into her meals. Soon after the first dose of herbs, I detected an unpleasant aroma coming from her general direction. After a few hours of being slowly but steadily poisoned, I realized she was probably experiencing die off. I mixed some clay in the sauce from a can of food. Shortly thereafter, the stink went away. :-) She continued to reek after each dose of herbs, so I'm now mixing the clay and the herbs together, along with a little digestive enzymes. No more stink. Okay, not the great cancer-cure story. But kind of interesting. - Darla S.

Horse with Ostrich Egg Sized Bladder Stone (from Perry A~)
Luke had an ostrich-egg size stone in his bladder that was interfering with his ability to urinate. She and I discussed trying the clay. Sharon used common sense treatment. Her first report was: The clay seems to be working.  Luke, the horse is no longer "leaking" constantly, seems to be more comfortable, is back working and actually tried to urinate on his own instead of letting urine just dribble out. This is extremely positive as it means there may be no bladder damages and he still remembers what to do!! We are excited.  He will be going in for an ultrasound in a couple weeks to see how much the ostrich egg sized stone in his bladder has shrunk.  If it has shrunk enough for ultrasound treatments to totally destroy it, that would be great and if not, as long as there is a visible shrinkage, we know we are on the right track. Perry, it was fated we meet, even if all I get to do is help out this one horse. Thanking you again, Sharon M.

Follow up with Sharon and report on Luke: The horse now belongs in our school horse program.  Have not had a recent ultrasound of the lump in his bladder, but on the last one, it had decreased from 4 inches in diameter to 3 inches.  I believe the lump to slowly be decreasing in size.  The horse is much happier and can be used again as he is no longer in chronic pain.  I think he has a long way to go still, however, he's been saved from surgery so far and does not look like he will have to be put down.

Final report on Luke: With the latest ultrasound, the vet was unable to find any stone. Another success for Living Clay.

Here is the protocol; that Sharon used:  I gave him a wet meal, like soaked beet pulp, added the dry powder to it and mixed it in.  Started off with a cup a day and when we saw signs from the ultra-sound that the stone was shrinking, dropped it to a 1/2 cup per day and now that it is gone, down to a 1/4 cup as horses that get these stones are at a danger of re-occurrence.  Will likely, in about 6 months, drop him down to 1/4 cup every second day. Took about 5 months before the stone shrunk from 4 inches to 3 inches and then another 5 months until it was gone.  Granted, we were not doing an ultrasound every month, so it may have been sooner once the stone started dissolving than 5 months. Given the size of the stone, I was quite surprised that it was completely gone in just under a year.

Mustang with Respiratory and Discharge Complications
In October-07 we applied Clay lotion to the chest and shoulders of one of our large mustangs. Gentle Ben was presenting with respiratory complications and major discharge. I applied one-half tube of Living Clay Body Lotion. Within five minutes the toxic heat was gone and his jolly demeanor returned.  By next afternoon, the discharge was gone. - Daniel D.

Ferret with Enlarged Pancreas
I have a ferret who has had an enlarged pancreas. The vet said this sometimes happens to older ferrets and they become hyperglycemic. Well, I've been giving Rosie (my girl ferret) a half teaspoon of clay mixed in with her baby food and kitten replacement milk daily for the last month and would like to report her pancreas has gone from a hard knot on her belly the size of a silver dollar to the size of a penny! She acts more alert and has more energy. This is great news to me. I swear by this stuff these days! - Linda C.

Weight Loss 3X to a 14
I am doing a Living Clay facial once in a while.  And once in a while I do a LC soak bath. 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 LC at the end of January 2005   Perry  A had insisted that plenty of water be drank along with the clay. This I did.  I don't sleep all night so had a cafe of water handy and each and every time I woke up I drank water.  I am not that loyal to doing it lately since I sleep more soundly and wake up fewer times. Consequently 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 LC has just honed down my binges and moderates my desire to eat and over eat. I am satisfied with better food and much smaller portions.  The candy section and the bakery section hold NO temptation for me now. I do not feel like I have to be putting drink or food into my system all the time as I did before drinking the clay. Water being the only exception. I always have a bottle of water at the 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 exercising was not for me.  At first my shape change was subtle.  I noticed my cloths getting comfortable, that was a surprise since my washer and dryer (Maytag) has always shrunk my clothes. Then they just didn't stay on my hips.  My arms and shoulders no longer fit the 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 LC did its job and cleaned them out. 

The only other changes I made after hearing Perry for the first time was getting a mercury filling taken out and dropping all medications.  Both had long been on my mind to do and Perry had just given me the vehicle to carry away the residue/toxins that my "habits" or poor judgment had left behind.  Those changes could not have been so very successful if Perry A  (in a long phone conversation) had not assured me of the amazing results this clay and only this clay can bring about.  The truth at last, LC clay is effective and harmless at the same time.  Will I never stop drinking LC twice a day? After going from 3x and 2x to size 14 (for now ) I will always drink LC. - Linda R.

Weight Loss without Dieting
I had suffered from so many different things from high blood pressure to high blood sugar to obesity and lupus-like symptoms. I was always tired and felt like I was dying. Chronic pains in my feet and joints, headaches and I caught every cold and flu it seemed. I also had rough skin on my feet and lived with yeast infections monthly. I had hot flashes and would feel dizzy and had ear ringing. Not to mention acne at 42. I couldn't sleep well and I had sleep apnea. I also had constant gas. Plus I was obese. I started off by not drinking or cooking with fluoridated water as I found out how deadly it really is. It took a lot of symptoms away. The gout, the pain in the joints, and I slept a little better and my blood pressure went down some. Then I came across your page about clay. I bought some powdered clay and I drank it in 16 oz. water on empty stomach once a day. The first dose I have to admit cleaned out my intestines so well green plaque came out. Yuk. I was shocked that was in me. I had no idea it could work so well so fast. Within about an hour I started feeling like I did when I was younger. Later that day I noticed my eye whites were so white and I never seen it that way ever. Unless I used eye drops. Well I started taking Epsom salt, clay half cup each and one tablespoon baking soda baths. I would soak for half an hour three times a week. My rough skin cleared up and after a month I noticed I no longer slept fitfully and I stayed asleep with no more snoring. My blood pressure is now normal. I am overweight but not obese now. Borderline. The weight fell off of me so fast my skin from my stomach touches my thighs. However I didn't diet or restrict my food intake. I no longer suffer from gas unless I eat beans and the acne is gone completely. No more hot flashes I still get colds but I use my clark zapper that I made myself and within twenty minutes my cold symptoms are gone. I took thirty drops of black walnut hull tincture once a day with 8 oz. water for one week then once a week after that and I no longer have high blood sugar. It is normal now. All the other symptoms disappeared other than occasional pains when it turns cold or rains. I also now use it on my scalp as I always had dandruff and sores on my scalp. No more. When I use the clay as a mask my skin gets so much tighter its like I lost years off my face immediately. It stays tight and smooth and I don't see the little crows feet anymore at all. I continue on the baths three days a week and the internal daily. - Lisa

Weight Loss and More
Calcium Bentonite Clay has been an awesome tool for this physical body.  It took me 3 months to get off Prilosec for acid reflux by "swigging" 8/1 clay whenever (10+/day) I felt acid forming.  I know clay has balanced my pH because I don't get infections any more.  Taking clay for 1 year, a big 'ol serving spoon full, at least 3 times /day has helped me improve my health as well as shed 50 lbs. Random clay poultices held in place with Glad Press 'n' Seal suck all the toxic lymph fluid out of the tissues, take away the "needles stabbing my body" feeling and leave the skin smooth and soft.  One day I looked in the mirror and sighted a "waddle" under my chin.  Happy to say clay poultices have reduced that area because the fluid weighing down the area is gone. Clay is my toothpaste, and gum healer when I pack dry clay at night (around teeth).  Swollen joints, sore muscles, cuts or sunburn - first response is CLAY.  I can testify to surprising results in all the above applications having used it myself. I passed along the clay info and results to friends who now swear by the Magic of the Clay.  - Jacq P.

Weight Loss
I made a couple of lifestyle changes to lose the weight. Gave up soda (especially caffeinated) because they trigger cravings and stopped eating minimum 2hr better 3 hrs. before bed, but I was drinking 2oz. liquid clay 3x a day (on an empty stomach). I still allowed myself to eat whatever I wanted. The difference is I wasn’t wanting as much. I do believe the clay gives you the edge. I was mixing the dry clay powder with 10oz. of water- 1oz clay to 10oz.H20. I was putting it in a plastic water bottle and shaking it really good. Actually, I read that Perry recommends 1oz. clay to 8oz. H20. When I get up I drink 2oz clay water and 8oz. H20 chaser. I was doing that in the afternoon before lunch and at night before bed. Try waiting at least 1-2 hrs. before eating anything. (Except at night, I don't eat before going to bed.) I haven't tried eating the clay pudding. But, I wouldn't object to it either. Weight loss is easy sometimes it is maintaining that is sooooo hard. But, I am 50++++++ and decided this year I was going to get on the stick and get in better health as well as lose weight. The 18lbs I lost initially is still off and this time I believe I have the secret for keeping it off.  Good luck on your clay journey as well. - Joann F.

Brags on Wife's Weight Loss and New Energy
Over a year ago, my wife got fed up with main stream medicine continuously feeding her drugs, drugs, and more drugs in what was an attempt to control (not CURE) her Fibromyalgia.  After hearing about clay on a radio show in January 2005 she decided to take charge of her own life by giving up ALL her meds over night (cold turkey) and turn to the living clay.  Knowing how things work (or don't work) when it comes to the FDA, they could only say it might help.  What an understatement...!!!  Today, she has lost almost 60 pounds (without exercising) and for the past month or so has been mowing our lawn (as well as my mothers) and is basically a new person.  I am not saying she is cured but the truth is, I haven't seen her this physical in 15 plus years...she even went out and bought a bicycle to ride...I got my wife back!!!  - Dan R.
