Nature’s Detox
bentonite clay is naturally engineered for cleansing and healing
by Dr. vanessa galati-Drew
understanding the meaning of two similar words—absorb and adsorb—is key to understanding why clay has long been used for detoxification and healing. “Clays that have the ability to absorb and adsorb are called living or active clays because they are capable of changing and exchanging,” says vanessa Drew, owner of Cleansing Concepts, a family of detoxification spas in garden City and Smithtown, New York, and Red bank, New Jersey. adsorption is the process by which the charged particles of other substances combine with charged particles on the outer surface of the clay molecule, she explains. “The positively charged ions are attracted to the stronger negatively charged surfaces of the clay molecules. So an exchange reaction occurs: The clay mineral ions are swapped for the ions of the positively charged substance. The clay molecules are electrically satisfied and bind with the substances capturing them.” absorption is a slower, more complex process. “absorbent clays have a charge on their inner layers,” Drew says. “Charged ions sit between the layers of the clay molecule, surrounded by water molecules. The expanded clay attracts foreign substances that fill the spaces between those layers. It absorbs positively charged ions and impurities and ignores negatively charged nutrients.”
FIvE BASIC FUNCTIONS
Those chemical reactions are the natural engineering behind detox clay. according to Drew, it’s used for five basic functions: to cleanse, particularly internally; to balance, as it’s homeostatic; to alkalize (it has a 9.7 pH); to stimulate blood flow, oxygen and circulation, for cellular repair; and to energize, as it has electromagnetic properties. “Detox clay is used by some of the most exclusive spas and resorts in the world,” she says. “There is no finer, more effective clay for facial treatments and full-body uses, such as wraps and detoxification, that you can do all by yourself at home for a fraction of the price.” Cleansing Concept has its own line of detox clay products, from topicals— soap, deodorant, mud, powder and toothpaste—to a drink. according to Drew, the line uses 100 percent pure, 350-meshscreened calcium bentonite clay, from the last known remaining subsurface mine in the united States. “It’s the most highly charged bentonite in the world,” she says. “Calcium bentonite clay is from the smectite family of clays. It has astoundingly strong drawing action. It cleanses by pulling out impurities while its dynamic binding power captures and eliminates toxins.” used internally, the clay cleanses the colon of old fecal matter and mucoid plaque, she says. It has a wide variety of uses, from relieving constipation and removing heavy metals to easing stomach and gastrointestinal problems and facilitating recovery from chemical therapies and radiation. Its more surprising benefits include reducing the symptoms of allergies and hay fever. Its external uses are just as diverse, Drew says. There are the expected dermatological applications—treatment for rashes, acne, cuts, burns and bruises—but also (literally) deeper benefits, like relief from aching joints and sprained or strained muscles. “Living clay therapy can provide truly life-changing results that far supersede the temporary effects of laxative teas or over-the-counter detox programs,” she says.
vanessa galati-Drew is the founder of Cleansing Concepts, located at 353 Lexington ave., New York, NY (212-256-0032); and 825 east gate blvd., garden City, NY (516-640-5322). Cleansing Concepts also has a new location at the galleria in Red bank, NJ. For more information, visit CleansingConceptsworld.com. See ad, page 5.
Nature’s Virus Killer
Copper can stop a cold before it starts
By Doug Cornell
Scientists have discovered a natural way to kill germs fast.
Now thousands of people are using it against viruses and bacteria in the nose and on the skin.
Colds start when cold viruses get in your nose. Viruses multiply fast. If you don’t stop them early, they spread and cause misery.
In hundreds of studies, EPA and university researchers have confirmed that viruses and bacteria die almost instantly when touched by copper.
That’s why ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. They didn’t know about microbes, but now we do.
Scientists say the high conductance of copper disrupts the electrical balance in a microbe cell and destroys the cell in seconds.
Tests by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) show germs die fast on copper. So some hospitals tried copper for touch surfaces like faucets and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives.
The strong scientific evidence gave inventor Doug Cornell an idea. When he felt a cold about to start he fashioned a smooth copper probe and rubbed it gently in his nose for 60 seconds.
“It worked!” he exclaimed. “The cold never got going. That was September 2012. I use copper in the nose every time and I have not had a single cold since then.” “We can’t make product health claims,” he said, “so I can’t say cause and effect. But we know copper is antimicrobial.” He asked relatives and friends to try it. They reported the same thing, so he patented CopperZap® and put it on the market.
Soon hundreds of people had tried it. The feedback was 99% positive if they used the copper within 3 hours after the first sign of unwanted germs, like a tickle in the nose or a scratchy throat.
Early user Mary Pickrell said, “I can’t believe how good my nose feels.”
Pat McAllister, 70, received one for Christmas and called it “one of the best presents ever. This little jewel really works.”
Frequent flier Karen Gauci had been suffering after crowded flights. Though skeptical, she tried copper on travel days for 2 months. “Sixteen flights and
not a sniffle!” she exclaimed. Businesswoman Rosaleen says when people around her show signs of cold or flu, she uses copper morning and night. “It saved me last holidays,” she said. “The kids had crud going round and round, but not me.” Attorney Donna Blight tried copper for her sinus. “I am shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.” A man with trouble breathing through his nose at night tried copper just before bed. “Best sleep I’ve had in years!” he said. In a lab test, technicians placed 25 million live flu viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses were found surviving soon after. Dr. Bill Keevil led one of the teams confirming the research. He placed millions of disease germs on copper. “They started to die literally as soon as they touched the surface,” he said. Some people press copper on a lip New device puts copper right right away if a warning tingle suggests where you need it. unwanted germs gathering there.
