Benefits of Living Clay

The Clay Cure : Natural Healing from the Earth by Ran Knishinsky

Here are the symptoms and results most people experience when eating clay for only two to four weeks:

* Well-regulated bowels.
* Relief from constipation or diarrhea.
* No more indigestion.
* No more ulcers.
* Better digestion of food and drink.
* A surge in physical energy.
* Less "wandering pain" all over the body.
* Clearer skin.
* Whiter and brighter eyes.
* More alertness and clear-headedness.
* Emotional uplift, less tension.
* Enhanced growth and tissue repair of gums
  and skin.
* Stimulated the immune system, higher
  resistance to infectious agents.

As you can see, clay works on the entire organism. No one part of the body is left untouched by its healing energies.

Clay works best when taken over a long period of time. That's because its actions are subtle. Like a snowball rolling down the hill, it starts off small and slow. As it continues to roll, it soon picks up momentum and goes faster. Clay does not offer instant cures for all ailments, but history shows it can encourage the body to put up a better fight when taken over a long period of time.

Many books on fasting advise that no vitamins or herbs should be taken during a fast. That's because vitamins will not be properly assimilated, and herbs are food sources. But, whatever the case may be, clay can safely be taken during a fast. It will not interfere with the fast. In fact, it will only enhance it.

As you probably already know, the main purpose of any fast is to prevent or eliminate disease through body detoxification. Eating the clay on a regular basis throughout a fast will help you to renew your body and see your desired results quicker.

Therefore, the use of clay can be a part of any wellness program. Clay stimulates the body to do its own healing work and recover from just about any ailment.
