Alkaline Water - The first thing I and other Microscopists recommend is super-hydrating the body with lots of alkaline, living water. There are a few different ways to get alkaline water. You can buy it in stores or on line. This is the least recommended method as you have to worry about toxins being leached from the container and environment and you will never get the best water this way because it's not alive or energized with a negative charge or -ORP making it antioxidant water. It's also the least cost effective in the long run.
Most common is the use of special concentrated drops or pH drops that use alkaline minerals among other things to raise the pH of water and other liquids. The best drops will also restructure or revitalize the water, infusing it with vital energy and micro-clustering the water, making it able to more easily penetrate the cell membrane for easier assimilation and greater hydration potential. Another benefit is the potential of the water or drops to increase your oxygen levels.
The best way is the use of a water ionizer. A quality ionizer will include a pre-filter and/or filtration system and will exceed the pH of either of the other options and also get a greater negative ORP. These units can easily be connected to a faucet and will, through electric current, separate the acidic water and minerals from the alkaline and remineralize this living or electrically charged water with healthy, alkaline minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium. These units will generally last twenty years or more and while some may scoff at the price of $1,000.00 to $4,000.00, it will be the best investment in your health you could ever make.

Greens - Next to super-hydrating with good, alkaline water you will want to use a greens supplement. Again, you will want something that has a high pH and a negative charge or that is alive with good energy as this energy will transfer to you and make it easier to assimilate. The first ingredient should be wheat grass as this is the best alkalizing source of all the essentials for life. All the body needs is in this and other young grasses, such as all the vitamins, essential minerals, amino acids (the building blocks of life), EFA's (essential fatty acids), enzymes, chlorophyll, and phyto-nutrients, phyto-sterols, antioxidants, and other important plant compounds. I personally recommend the product, Core Greens which you can purchase here. These life giving plants can harness the power or energy of the sun and transfer it to us.
Detox & Cleanse - Gentle yet effective cleansers are of the utmost importance as well. Nearly everyone is congested or holding toxins in the bowels and/or other filter organs like the skin, kidney, liver, and lymphatic system. Most people are holding between ten and twenty or more pounds of accumulated waste, toxins, and acidity in the bowels alone. When the bowels and filter organs are not eliminating properly this affects all aspects of our health. There are many different alkalizing herbs and other means of cleansing the bowels and filter organs safely, and with little or no discomfort. It is recommended that you use something that will cleanse all of your body systems including your blood from a myriad of things such as bacteria, yeast, parasites, fungus, mold, and stones while strengthening and improving these organs and tissues so they can repair themselves and work even better at doing their jobs.
Therapeutic Living Clay - Last but not least is another cleanser plus a whole lot more. Therapeutic Living Clay is a special variety of clay making up only about 1%-2% of all the clay on the earth. It has been used since the time of Adam and some believe it may have been the manna that the children of Israel ate while wandering in the wilderness. Most recent studies have shown that it is the missing ingredient in replication of RNA and it has been used for countless other things such as indian war paint and healing balms, spa treatments at the best spas in the world, some of the finest cosmetics, and many cleansing and detox supplements on the market today and the list goes on and on. TLC or Therapeutic Living Clay.
Calcium based clays are referred to as "living clays" as they principally consist of minerals that contribute to the production of enzymes in all living organisms. They are the preferred clays to be ingested by humans, animals, and plants and for incorporating into soil. Always check your product labels. I recommend a pure, Calcium Bentonite Clay with a very fine screen mesh (325 is best).
These negatively charged minerals can adsorb and absorb. The two words are similar but their differences are fundamental to understanding how Bentonite (TLC) clay minerals function and how healing clay works. Adsorption describes the process by which the charged particles of other substances combine with the charged particles on the outer surface of the clay molecule. First imagine the structure of the clay molecule to be similar to a stack of business cards with spaces in between the cards. The clay molecule has unsatisfied ionic bonds around its edges and naturally seeks to satisfy those bonds. For this to happen it must come into contact with a molecule of another substance with unsatisfied bonds that carry an opposite electrical(ionic) charge. When the two molecules meet, the ions held on the outer surface of the clay molecule are exchanged with the ions held on the outside surface of the molecule of the other substance.
Bentonite clay molecules carry a negative electrical charge while toxins, bacteria, viruses, yeast, parasites and other impurities carry a positive charge. Calcium Bentonite clay is also very alkaline or has a pH of up to 9.7, while these toxins, impurities, and their wastes are acidic and can not live in an alkaline or pH balanced environment (or an environment that is well oxygenated). When the clay is taken into the human body, the positively charged toxins are attracted to the negatively charged surfaces of the clay molecule. The clay molecule acts like a magnet, attracting and holding the toxins and impurities to its surface, and removing them when the clay is removed or expelled.
Absorption is a slower and more complex process. Acting like a sponge, the Bentonite clay molecule draws other substances into its internal structure. Absorption can only occur when the foreign substance has undergone a chemical change and is then allowed to enter the clay's molecular inner structure. Once the foreign substance has undergone the chemical change, it enters into the spaces between the clay's inner structures. So the toxins that were formerly only sticking to the surface of the clay's outer structure through ionic bonding, are now pulled inside the clay molecule. This is the primary reason why absorptive clays are labeled as mobile layered or expandable clays. The more substances that are pulled into the clay's inner structure, the more the clay expands and its layers swell.
All absorbent clays have a charge on their inner layers. This means that charged ions sit between the layers of the clay molecule surrounded by water molecules. The clay expands as foreign substances are absorbed and fill the spaces between the clay molecule's stacked layers. Absorbent clay will absorb positively charged toxins and impurities and ignore negatively charged nutrients. Calcium Bentonite clay is by far the most effective clay, with the strongest drawing power, best mineral composition, and highest pH of up to 9.7. We find the broadest spectrum healing modality on our planet in Calcium Bentonite Clay.
The names Bentonite and Montmorillonite are sometimes used interchangeably to refer to edible Bentonite Clays belonging to the smectite family of clays. These clays were formed from volcanic activity millions of years ago and are principally volcanic ash. Many sodium based clays are marketed as edible Bentonite Clays, but require mixing with an acid beverage, like apple cider vinegar, to offset the high sodium content prior to consumption. As our bodies cannot tolerate the ingestion of large amounts of sodium-based clay that can be consumed in a day is restricted to small dosages. There are no such consumption requirements or restrictions placed on pure Calcium Bentonite Clay. Healing clay may be a new concept to some of us, but it has been used for thousands of years. Long before recorded history, humans have used healing clays externally and internally to cure illnesses, sustain life, and promote general health.
Montmorillonite Clay was named after the town of Montmorillon in France where it was first identified. Your green swelling clays are known for their remarkable healing properties. Due to the molecular makeup the swelling clays have a greater drawing or detoxing potential.
Calcium Bentonite Clay is the rarest form of clay. There have been only a few finds throughout the history of mines, which contained a pure vein, natural, Calcium Bentonite Clay. Even though Sodium Bentonite, and Calcium Bentonite Clay are cousins from the same family & genus, they are as different as night and day in efficacy and intended uses.
So if you're looking for the best clay for detoxing, internal cleansing, or any sort of healing use, Calcium Bentonite Clay is the number one clay of choice.
