I forgot to tell you not to take pysillum powder. It is very irritating to even a healthy colon, I am not even talking about us with colitis!
Posted 4/16/2012 7:57 PM (GMT 0)
Believe you and me, I got both! I'm desperate at this point, had a bad week with my butt and I don't know why. I'm better off with no supplements, asacol and  saccharomyces boulardii MOS just as my probiotic.

I will try your protocol mixture and see how I do :)

I'm will stay on my LDN I really like that for immune boosting properties.

I get the terramin tomorrow, I ordered overnight! the other one will be in a week or so.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for accepting my apology about the spam message.

I ordered both and yes both powders, I get the terramin tomorrow. I will do what you suggested and let it sit and drink the water part and not the clay part at the bottom. I posted this just a few minutes ago but don't know where it went?? Anyways, thank you for you help, I will post again on FRiday and let you know how I do, this way it will be about 3 and 1/2 day drinking it. :)

I am very glad you have listened! You just made my day!

Good luck to you!

Please, keep a gentle diet. Everything soft and well cooked. No fried food. For me at my worsed boiuled rice, baked/boiled potatoes, some pasta, soft boiled eggs and well cooked veggies (covered with a little oil and water) worked the best.

I hope to hear about your progress!

You might have something there with the clay, not sure, but in my opinion diet really has no bearing on UC. Of course, I don't mean eat terrible, greasy or super spicy food all the time, but UC is caused by an overactive immune system, that much we know. Therefore, it is neither caused by, exacerbated by or especially cured by diet.

good luck !! i wanna hear good news! i am hoping for you therearemiracle and anyone else trying the clay!?!?!
Posted 4/16/2012 10:01 PM (GMT 0)
I agree that diet does not cause UC, but some foods can irritate the colon. For me raw, very healthy salad would send me to the bathroom with a lot of pain and blood. That is all that I am saying. So, for now, during the flare up it is better to eat soft, well cooked food, because it is more gentle for the colon. Just an advise from my personal experience.

Ok then i don't wanna take chances so im returning this clay. Im also ordering terramin powder from california earth.

A question: i intend to continue taking my 5-ASA orals while taking clay. How long after taking them should i drink the clay? Just so that it won't affect them.
Posted 4/16/2012 11:27 PM (GMT 0)
I just ordered a bunch Pascalite clay from Wyoming. I'm at the point where I'm willing to try anything and if it helped you, I might as well give it a shot. Do you think being on prednisone will affect it at all?

ConquerUC,
I am so sorry,
I just found your first post about you are checking 3 health food stores and not finding the Terramin, so ended up buying The Hydrated Bentonite and that you live in Australia. Welcome to this discussion. It is amazing howmany people from different countries have this disease! I was born in Russia, but now live in the USA for 17 years.
I am so sorry again I did not understand why you bought that Hydrated clay! If you can return it, please do it, because I do not know what kind it is and how safe it is. The Terramin and Pascalite both are tested for bad bacteria, lead and other things for safety. I have also read multiple testimonials about both clays. Pascalite clay sent me a big stack of the printed testimonials, some going 20 years back. As for the Terramin clay it is probably the most scientifically tested clay by a few different institutes. I understand you are feeling really bad and desperate, but please, wait and get the clay that will help and not hurt you.
As for taking your medicine, you will have to wait about 2 hours after taking your medicine and than take clay. Or even better, take clay on the empty stomach, wait 1 hour, then eat and take your medicine.
Just do not take the clay and your medicine together and you will be fine. Clay will neutralize all toxins, bad bacteria and prescription medicine, too.I think it is written on both packages of the clays.
One more thing. Order the powder and not tablets or capsules, powdered clay will work faster and it is easier on the body. Tablets will have to be mixed in the stomach first, then dissolved...It takes time and more water. I actually did the test with 1 Terramin tablet that they sent me as a sample with my order. I put 1 tablet in the glass with water and looked how long it took to break it down. It stayed in its shape for a while, so I meshed it with a wood spoon and then it fell apart into the powder...
You will put 1 tsp of the powder in 8 oz of water, mix with a plastic or wood spoon, let it set 15 min and drink the clay water, 3 times per day. Also, drink a lot of water (6-8 glasses) during a day.

Hello, bosniaboy12,
good for you for choosing Pascalite! In a day or 2 should be receiving my 2d order of 6 pounds of Pascalite that I am going to send to my parents to Russia along with some Terramine that I have on hands extra! That should tell you how much I believe in Pascalite because of it strong anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties. Plus it is the best stuff for food poisoning and stomach flu, which is probably the same thing.
As I said before to other guys, take the clay in the morning on the empty stomach, wait 1 hour, eat and take your prednisone.
If you take prednisone first, wait 2 hours and then take clay. Just do not take prednisone and the clay together or the clay will neutralize it!
I took 1 tsp of Pascalite in 8oz of water on the empty stomach 3 times per day.
!st -in the morning 1 hour before food.
2d-in the afternoon, a couple of sips right before lunch, a couple sips after, a couple if I had pain (that was when I had pain), a couple sips before and after dinner.
3glass-right before bed.
1teaspoon of Pascalite is a very high dose. You might try to take a half of a tsp in a glass of water, stir, let it settle for 10-15 min and drink only clay water for 3 days, not the heavy part on the bottom. After the 3 days adjustment period, drink it all, including the gridder part, may be not the very sandy part.
If you have any questions, please, let me know!

I ordered a five pound bag!! oops, I hope it can sit a while so I can keep it for future flares. Okay, so a little less then a tea spoon to begin with. How long did it take for you to start noticing results. I was actually going through my house and I found a box of clay from Bosnia (my home country) that my mother got me a few years ago to try. I don't know why we never actually tried it, but it was expired. Can't wait for the new batch to come in and start trying it! How terrible is the taste?
Posted 4/17/2012 1:47 AM (GMT 0)
Lookforcure: thank you for your concern. Im just about to order my Terramin Clay from california earth.
Where can i get pascalite clay? does California earth sell it?
Posted 4/17/2012 1:56 AM (GMT 0)
Boshiaboy12,
as long as you keep the clay dry and tightly closed, it will be fine. It was good for a few thousands of years. I am assuming you got 1 pond free in a plastic bottle with an easy to pour lid. If it is so, just refill the bottle from the bag, so you do not have to reopen the big bag. I will get 6 bottles, 1 lb each.
I took the Terramin clay first and noticed the result by the 4th day. I think I took it for about 10 days and I was impressed I ordered Pascalite. Then started on the Pascalite and after a few days I was like: WELL! I actually lowed the dose to 2 teaspoons per day or less!
Basically, in 3 days you will know if it is working, may be even earlier. It will depend on how inflammed you are and your diet, too. Be careful with your diet.
The clay does not have much taste to me, it is a little griddy, though. Just do not drink the griddy part for 3 days at all and after 3 days drink everything except the very "sandy-griddy" part.
To tell the truth, I will not be very surprised if you will tell me that you felt better on the 2d day! Good luck to you! I can not wait for you to start taking it, too!
P.S. DO NOT USE METAL SPOONS, METAL CONTAINERS OR METAL LIDS IN STRIRRING CLAY OR FOR STORAGE OF THE CLAY! Only glass or plastic jars, plastic or wood spoons and plastic lids.

ConquerUC,
Pascalite clay is only sold on their site (www.pascalite.com). You can not really order it on-line, you have to call them, fax your order to them or send them an e-mail with your address, credit card info an dorder. It is a family owned company and mine this clay by hands, not machines,then solar dry and mill. There is a time difference between Australia and Wyoming, USA.
The best way for you to fax the your order with all the info (address, credit card#, what you want to order and ask for testimonials related to colitis and digestive disorders) or e-mail it to them. When though the e-mail did not work for me, so I called them.
Posted 4/17/2012 2:15 AM (GMT 0)
Hi guys,

you do not have to order both clays together! Just try one and see how it works. You might not need another one!

I am getting worried!

Remember, I am not taking any prescription drugs for colitis. I tried my best, sticking with a pretty stricked, mostly vegetarian diet. So, I do not know how prednisone and other heavy-duty drugs affected your bodies. I hope with all my heart you will get the same result with the clays that I got!

Good Luck and Good Health to everybody!

Please, keep me posted!

Completely wrong. There are many causes of UC and several types of UC. Your statement is true for some and may be true for you. But its not black and white. You made a broad all inclusive categorical statement that is incorrect. I am living proof it is wrong. I can control my UC completely with diet. I eat foods that you could get 500 years ago and I do great med free. If I start eating the things I used to eat or that my daughter eats it starts going downhill. I can right the ship nearly every time with salmon and good foods.

This has been obvious to me for almost 2 years now. I am fine with diet having no effect on you because I believe in 3 general groups. 1) responds to meds 2) Does not respond to meds but responds to diet 3) Does not respond to either - needs surgery. SCD and this clay approach suggest an overgrowth of bad bacteria which should be clearly controlled by what the bacteria are eating ( what I am ingesting ).

UC is complicated and not a simple black and white one size fits all disease.

Aguywithuc: what do you eat?
Posted 4/17/2012 9:27 AM (GMT 0)
Hey,

I have ordered the terramin clay. I have heard alot about it from other sources aswell. I am on imuran and balacol at the moment. Can i take the clay first thing in the morning and just before i sleep ?
Posted 4/17/2012 1:29 PM (GMT 0)
Yes in the morning and yes before you sleep. Remember starting out mix with a spoon that is not metal, let it sit and then just drink the claying water not the thick stuff at the bottom to get your body use to it. I'm just waiting on UPS to get here today.
Posted 4/17/2012 3:10 PM (GMT 0)
Don't be worried lookforcure, I just go overboard with everything I do. You don't need to buy both I know, I freak when I think something can help me. I'm just fininshing up my cup of clay now. I will post in a couple of days or tomorrow if I feel good. Thanks.

Why is it telling about taking prescription drugs not cosidering advertisemnt for the Big Pharma, but saying this natural product helped me is spam and trying to sell the product. I am tired to defend myself and keep repeating: I am not selling, advertizing or in any way benefiting in telling you about Terramin or Pascalite clay !If you go to to http://www.californiaearthminerals.com/, you can see that you can sell this clay yourself! If I sell it why in the world I would send people to this site?
As for Pascalite clay, it is a family owned company and as far as I know nobody sells it but them! I live in Ohio, they- in Wyoming. They are not my reletives, I was born in Russia!
Sorry for caring for other people! Keep taking prescription drugs!


I thought you said to get it here http://www.clayremedies.com/.

I ordered from that site, does http://www.californiaearthminerals.com have a better product based on your own experience ?

Thanks
Posted 4/17/2012 3:45 PM (GMT 0)
Aguywithuc,
both sites sell the same Terramin clay. What I said is on the www.clayremedies.com it was cheaper, at least when I bought it. Just compare the prices. Ah, and californiaearthminerals only sells the Terramin and the other site sell other clays and things. The californiaearth site has a lot of research on it, they are the original site, every body else buying clay from them. There is a whole book written about Terramin clay by Neva Jensen, Phd and a famous nutritionist, who spent her whole life researching Terramin clay. She peacefully died at age 92!
Posted 4/17/2012 3:58 PM (GMT 0)
I really hope I will not let anybody down!
Please, therearemiracles, let me know how you are feeling, as soon as you notice any difference!

Hi kazinator,

yes, you take 1tsp of Terramin clay in 8oz of water , stir with plastic/wood spoon, let it set for 15 min and drink in the mornig on the empty stomach,

the 2d glass with clay before bed

and the 3d glass I would suggest to put in a little plastic bottle and take with you to work/school and sip on it if you will get some pains or cramps or just to keep the clay in your digestive tract to keep working.

Yes, you can take the clay only 2 times, but if you are really inflammed, my advise-take it 3 times per day:1tsp in a glass of water, 3 times per day.
