French Green Clay, Inside & Out

For thousands of years, people have used smectite (rubbing earth) clay to heal wounds, soothe indigestion, and eradicate intestinal worms. And today, toxic chemically acidic drugs fight a losing battle against resistant germs. Though the use of natural clays, particularly French Green Clay, French Montmorillonite Terra Pharma Clay, has declined, people are, once again, taking a closer look at this ancient remedy.

Montmorillonite, a phyllosilicate, is a soft type of mineral that exists in small crystals which accumulate to form clay. Phyllosilicates or sheet silicates are a group of minerals that include mica, chlorite, serpentine, talc, and the clay minerals. The clay is named after Montmorillon, France, where it was first discovered.  French Green Clay provides an impressive assortment of minerals, including calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium and silica, all alkalizing to the blood and tissues and foundational in the production of other elements both nuclear and biological.

Bacteria does not cause disease, but rather, it is the evidence of transforming matter caused by an over-acidic interstitial fluid environment. According to Dr. Robert O. Young, “acidic chemicals and metals from diet, metabolism, respiration and environment (EMF microwave radiation) cause dis-ease and disease.” French Green Clay has the power to biologically transform all types of matter, including bacteria.  It can neutralize dietary, metabolic, respiratory, environmental acids found in the blood and interstitial fluids and protect the body cells from biological transformation leading to the creation of bacteria, yeast, and mold. The beautiful thing about the French Montmorillonite Terra Pharma Clay is that it can adsorb and then absorb micro and nano particulates and their toxins or acids over 100 times it own mass.”

Inside Benefits

You may be familiar with the condition geophagy or pica, referring to a condition in which the patient eats inedible substances such as chalk, or earth, with cravings for substances not fit for food such as clay, ashes, or plaster.  This craving makes sense when you know what clay contains and what it can for the body. French Green Clay has been credited with improving the health of many people suffering from a wide range of illnesses including, constipation, diarrhea, anemia, chronic infections and topical infections, skin ailments, such as eczema and acne, heavy-metal poisoning, exposure to pesticides, insecticides and other acidic toxins, arthritis, acid reflux, infertility, liver disease and obesity. It is the ‘secret ingredient’ in the treatment of hair-loss and diabetes, both Type I, Type II and Type 3.

Because our bodies can tolerate a deficiency of vitamins longer than a deficiency of minerals, a slight change in the blood concentration of important minerals can rapidly endanger life.  Because the minerals in this very special clay exist in natural proportion to one another they are easily absorbed by the intestinal villi to help maintain a healthy mineral balance.

The particles of French Green Clay carry a negative, electrical charge, while Impurities or toxins carry a positive electrical charge. For this very reason the Clay has been used to adsorb the colloidal impurities found in beer, wine, liquor, cider, vaccines, water and air that contain alcohol and other endotoxins, exotoxins, mycotoxins and nano particulate oxides such as graphene oxide, iron oxide, copper oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, hydrogen arsenic, carbon monoxide, lactic acid, citric acid; to name a few.

Outside Benefits

French Green Clay has a consistency of dried mustard and is ready to eat; or it can be mixed in water. You can also apply the paste directly to the skin for a drawing-effect for case of a bee sting, mosquito bite, boil, spider bite, stinging nettle, etc. If the clay is not covered it will dry out; and, as it dries you will feel it draw and pull. If you want a tightening-effect as in the case of a facial for acne, pimples, or minor cuts leave it on until it is almost, but not totally dry. Then remove with a warm wet washcloth and, splash with warm water to remove all traces of the clay.

For a more soothing effect on burns, scrapes, and bruises; make a gel by mixing 2 parts alkaline water at a pH of 9.5 to 11 with 1 part French Green Clay, then apply generously in a ½ inch to ¾ inch layer directly onto the skin.  Cover the gel with a plastic covering or wet cloth to prevent drying. Apply once or twice daily or leave in place overnight, as desired.  French Green Clay has also been used as a fine talcum or baby powder. After applying you can also leave it uncovered allowing it to dry. As it dries it will draw or pull. Remove before the clay is totally dry.
