4. Removes Heavy Metals

For removing heavy metals from the body there is perhaps nothing better than bentonite clay. The most damaging of all toxic metals are lead, benzene, mercury, and cadmium. All of these metals are found in many types of processed foods, especially those containing high fructose corn syrup. Heavy metals are also found in building materials, our everyday environment, soil, and drinking water. Studies have found that bentonite clay binds to and removes heavy metals from the body.

5. Cleanses The Colon

As bentonite clay absorbs the toxins and heavy metals from the body, it also absorbs a great deal of fluid. Since our bodies cannot absorb this clay, it will remove it from the body via the colon. This will help cleanse the colon as the clay passes through, taking any excess waste and toxins that were in colon with the clay and other toxins.

6. Removes Fluoride

Although many of us try to avoid fluoride whenever possible, the fact is that we can consume it without even being aware of it. Additionally, some of us consumed fluoride through water, dental products, or even at the dentist’s office before we were aware of the dangers. How to remove fluoride from our bodies has been a dilemma for some time. One study recently found that bentonite clay, especially when combined with magnesium chloride, reduces the fluoride in water. Bentonite clay can help work as a natural means of water filtration, perhaps in the near future. For now, bathing in bentonite clay can pull toxins right out through the skin. You can also mix some bentonite clay with a bit of water, and apply this paste to your feet. Allow to sit for 30 minutes to let the clay to remove toxins such as fluoride right from the body. Repeat this procedure twice a month for best results.

7. Prevents Allergies

Allergic reactions in the body are triggered when the immune system is stimulated by something like pollen, and histamines are released. When the liver is overburdened by toxins, it cannot release sufficient amounts of antihistamines to fight this overstimulation of the immune system. By cleansing the liver of toxins and metals, bentonite clay can help to restore the liver to its proper function and naturally relieve allergic reactions.
