bentonite clay

anyone ever try this to clean the colon of toxins and nast bacteria?  my wife bought me some but I am scared to take till I hear more about it?

What do you do, drink it? Then is it supposed to lump all the toxins & such into clumps, then you pass them? Interesting. I'm always leery of things that claim to "clean" your colon/bodies- aren't colons supposed to have toxins in them? Isn't their function to clean the junk out? I had thought that all I needed was a good colon cleanse when I first started experiencing UC symptoms, but I never did one. Too chicken. Then it turns out that colon cleanses, like hydrotherapy, tablets & enemas & all, are supposed to be really bad for people with UC. I'm of the mindset that the body is a self-cleaning organism. I don't know that it'd hurt, but help??? I wonder if it'd alter the PH balance, or flush away all the good bacterias.

Have you actualy used any your self Dr a? does it act similar to fiber?

Yeah, I would never recommend something unless I had tried it myself. Not bentonite clay, but pascalite clay.. they are very similiar. You won't see clumps of anything, but your bm's may change color a little. I do know when I bath with it, which is only once every 6 months or so, I feel completely drained for the next day or so afterwards. I personally wouldn't and don't use it daily. It may not help my UC, but my overall function is the bigger picture.

The body is self-cleansing when used the way it was intended to be used. With all the artificial junk we start injecting and ingesting into it right from birth, I believe this stuff compounds in the body. That on top of all the wonderful man made preservatives, colorings, drugs, and everything else you can think of, we seriously abuse ourselves. I think that's why alot of people do different cleanses.
