In my book A Centurion's Toolbox for Longevity Living Beyond 120 - 2nd Edition, I briefly cover the mineral Zeolite briefly.  Zeolite occurs naturally in nature and can also be produced on an industrial scale.  Zeolite has the unique ability to draw heavy metals to it, much like a magnet and than pass these heavy metals naturally out of the body.

Zeolite is usually available in powder form and has a light grey powder that is fine, but not too fine where it crosses the blodd brain barrier.  This allows it to do its best work in the intestines where it works to cleanse the blood, while drawing out the heavy metal toxins. The good thing about Zeolite is that it will remove mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. It is also available in a liquid form. The short term bad thing about Zeolite is that it will also pull important minerals out of your body, so it is important to take about ¼ teaspoon of Himalayan salt per gallon of water to compensate for the minerals lost.

Zeolite is sorted into 2 grades.  Industrial Grade, which is used to remove radioactive particles and other metals during metals processing.  And food grade, which is a fine grey powder that is taken internally with water to help remove heavy metals from the body.

Another unique advantage of Zeolite is its ability to remove radioactive particles, which was used to help people who were suffering from radioactivity sickness from the Chernobyl Disaster that occurred in Russia.

Another very unique advantage of Zeolite is for its ability to remove Ammonia from the body.  In my books on anti-aging, I show that ammonia build up in the body is one of the primary causes of aging. Not only does Ammonia build up cause acidity in the body, but it allows the body to continue to harbor unwanted / unknown toxins.

It is a fact that older people have more ammonia in their bodies than young people.  I am firmly convinced that the removal of this build up of ammonia in the body is absolutely vital to a longevity anti-aging lifestyle.

Zeolite can also help remove pesticides from our body which gather in our cells from the fruits and vegetables we eat.  Zeolite is usually obtained from crushed rock and is than highly filtered and then sterilized, so that the substance is properly prepared to draw heavy metals towards it. 

The food grade version of Zeolite is of a particle size just large enough, but not too small.  This avoids it, as mentioned earlier from it entering the blood stream, which can cause an unnecessary burden on the kidneys, lymph or liver. 

It is a fact that a gradual build up of toxins in the body leads to aches, pains, and memory problems.

Heavy metals, like the fats we get from eating meats or other high fats foods, naturally gather and store themselves our body tissues, which is why you can easily overdose on Vitamin E or Vitamin A, which are fat soluble vitamins.

Heavy metals behave the same way.  Excess metal build up in the body can cause brain fog, irritability, depression or autoimmune diseases.  The most common metals are mercury, aluminium, barium and lead. For those of you who are aware of Chemtrails, Zeolite is the perfect substance to remove these metals from the body without having to go through Metal Chelation Therapy.

One of the more common ways to remove metals from the body is via sweating, which also burns away fat.  It also promotes internal organ circulation and health of the interior organs. 

Another common metal detoxification method is via metal chelation therapy, which involves a specially medically trained administrator and the eating of 6 groups of special foods on a special meal plan. 

Another formula I have used over the years to help remove metals from the body consists of the following:

A Pinch of Granulated Lecithin (Optional)
Between 2.0 and 10mg of Vitamin B6 (Optional)
1/2 Teaspoon of Yerba Mate Herb
1/2 Teaspoon of Parsley Powder
2 1/2 Teaspoons of Brewers Yeast
1 Teaspoon of Echinacia Powder
1/2 Teaspoon of Brazil Nut Powder
3/4 Teaspoon of Chili Powder
3 Bromelin Enzymes
1 Teaspoon of Garlic Powder
3/4 Teaspoon of Corriander
1/2 Teaspoon of Clove Powder
3/4 Teaspoon of Rosemary Powder
1 Teaspoon of Basil Herb Powder

Works best taken in early mornings. Take with 1.5 Tablespoons of Honey, 4 to 6 Cod Liver Oil Capsules and 2 Vitamin C Capsules for best results.

The simplest and most cost effective approach to avoid the aforementioned time consuming methods to remove metals from the body is to use Zeolite.  Food Grade Zeolite is usually prescribed at between 1/2 to 1 Teaspoon every 4 to 8 hours for heavy detoxification.  For a general daily detox, 1/4th to 1/2 teaspoon is all that is necessary.  Too much will draw out important minerals from the body, so using it in moderation works best.  It also works best when taken in the early morning hours, which is a time the body is naturally detoxing the body. Zeolite also works best when taken with plenty of water, much like taking Bendotie clay, which is also a natural internal detoxer that works well when taken with plenty of water. Another popular detoxer is psyllium husk, which works well when taken with a small amount of edible Benodite Clay.  These are all natural detoxers and because Zeolite is so powerful, just a small amount goes a long way.  Further research is necessary to see if Psylium Husk, bentonite clay and Burdock Root powder synergize with Zeolite.

Food Grade Powdered has a high cation exchange capacity, also known as the CEC.  This is the ability for a substance to attract positively charged substances to it.  We can visualize the CEC capacity as being a magnet,  the stronger the CEC number, the stronger the magnetic forces. 

Zeolite has a natural negative charge and metals have a natural positive charge.  This is similar to how the substance clay works to detox the body, clay also has a natural negative charge, which attracts the positive charge of heavy metals. 

One of the miracle advantages of Zeolite is that it will not draw out the healthy mineral metals that the body uses.

So some of you may be asking, well if Zeoilte attracts metals like a magnet, does it also draw out Magnesium, Phosphorous and Calcium?  YOu may have noticed throughout this article I mention the word Heavy Metals often, this is because the heavy metals, mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic have larger ions, which increase the weight.  The lighter metals  such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous naturally have smaller ions so their ability to bind to zeolite is much more reduced.  This is why Zeolite should be taken in moderation.

As the heavy metals begin to be removed by Zeolite, it also causes a natural rise in the body's PH levels to alkaline.  We all know that parasites and other toxins can't survive in an alkaline solution.

If the body is overly acidic, it provides an active breeding ground for pathogens to flourish.

One example where metals cause aggressiveness and irritability in people is the metal manganese, which studies have shown that when manganese is at high levels in drinking water in some communities, it increases the rate of violent crime.

The strongest evidence to date that lead exposure increases the frequency of aggressive behaviors comes from the Edinburgh Lead Study which included over 500 children between the ages of 6 and 9. After taking 30 possible confounding variables into account, the investigators still found a significant relationship between the log of blood lead levels and teachers' ratings of the childrens' behavior on an "aggressive/antisocial" scale and on a "hyperactive" scale, but not on a "neurotic" scale. As in other studies on the relationship between lead exposure and brain damage, a dose-response relationship was found between blood lead and behavior ratings, with no evidence of a threshold.

Pihl and associates have addressed the relationship of lead exposure and violent behavior in adults. Hair lead levels from 19 violent criminals were found to be elevated as compared with those of 10 nonviolent criminals.

Could higher levels of solar wind activity (which is composed of positive ions) be amplifying the effects of metals in the body which are also composed of positive ions? Metals with Positive Ions include: aluminium, barium, manganese and mercury.

This formula works best taken during low solar activity (condition purples and recent condition green periods)  Low solar activity reaches a low from November to January of each year.

Synergy

One of the best ways to create a more effective formula is to combine Zeolite with the St. Germain Formula. This is because as the Zeolite detoxes the body, it also detoxes the digestive system.  When this occurs, the St. Germain Formula works in synergy with the Zeolite, clearing out the colon and adding healthy moisture to the digestive system, thus enhancing health and well being considerably. I have found the best results are 10 parts Zeolite to 1 Part St. Germain Formula.

So use Zeolite especially during the warmer months when heavy metals are more common in the air and food due to warmer winds and higher temperatures, where they can more easily accumulate in the fat tissues of the body.
