Zeolite Answer

This article will discuss the many different ways chemicals can affect you and your loved ones…

Detoxification and elimination of chemicals from your body is a necessity. You can truly turn your life around. Your present health can improve significantly and your future wellbeing can be made much more secure. more…

This summary details a major breakthrough in detoxifying the human body of the carcinogens, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and overall acid conditions that promote and cause disease. Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000 of which are potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual sea of pollutants, and carry many of these toxins within us. They can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies’ umbilical-cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system. more…

Key Points

Natural Cellular Defense is derived from a naturally-occurring mineral zeolite. Zeolites are considered 100 percent safe and non-toxic by the FDA. Natural Cellular Defense and its constituent zeolite have been shown to have the following functions:

• Retains the natural zeolite property of reducing cancer risk
• Acts as a potent anti-oxidant
• May aid in balancing bodily pH levels
• Acts to chelate and remove heavy metals from the system
• Reduces the incidence of diarrhea
• Improves nutrient absorption in the digestive tract
• Acts to balance digestive pH, thus reducing acid reflux
• Acts to stabilize immune system function (immunomodulatory)
• Acts as a broad spectrum anti-viral agent

Clinoptilolite is a naturally-occurring zeolite, formed by the devitrification (ie the conversion of glassy material to crystalline material) of volcanic ash in lake and marine waters millions of years ago. It is the most researched of all zeolites and is widely regarded as the most useful. In common with other zeolites, clinoptilolite has a cage-like structure consisting of SiO4 and AlO4 tetrahedra joined by shared oxygen atoms. The negative charges of the AlO4 units are balanced by the presence of exchangeable cations – notably calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and iron. These ions can be readily displaced by other substances, for example heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, etc..) and ammonium ions. This phenomenon is known as cationic exchange, and it is the very high cationic exchange capacity of clinoptilolite which provides many of its useful properties.

Today, clinoptilolite is being used as a dietary supplement, primarily for human detoxification. Clinoptilolite has many well-documented benefits:

• Removes heavy metals: This zeolite has the perfect molecular structure for capturing and removing heavy metals from the body, including; mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminum, tin, and excess iron. It also removes radioactive metals like cesium and Strontium-90. Reference 31,32

The uptake of inorganic Hg²⁺ and organometallic CH₃Hg⁺ from aqueous solutions by 11 different natural zeolites has been investigated using a batch distribution coefficient (K_d) method and supported by a preliminary voltammetric study. The effect of mercury concentration on the K_d response is shown over an environmentally appropriate concentration range of 0.1–5 ppm inorganic and organometallic Hg using a batch factor of 100 ml g^–1 and 20 h equilibration. Analcime and a Na-chabazite displayed the greatest methylmercury uptakes (K_d values at 1.5 ppm of 4023 and 3456, respectively), with mordenite as the smallest at 578. All uptake responses were greater for methylmercury than for the inorganic mercuric nitrate solutions, suggesting a distinctive sensitivity of zeolites to reaction with different types of solute species. It is likely that this sensitivity is attributable to the precise nature of the resultant Hg-zeolite bonds. Additionally, both the Si-Al ratio and the Na content of the initial natural zeolite samples are shown to influence the K_d responses, with positive correlations between K_d and Na content for all zeolites excluding mordenite.

A type of zeolite used in medical fields is the one of a crystalline form that contains high quantities of the mineral clinoptilolite. What makes it so valuable? Its’ extremely hard, microporous, honeycomb type of structure is permeated by ducts and cavities throughout. These channels are openings to which minerals or heavy metals can bind to. The silicon building block is electrically neutral, but the aluminum building block carries a negative charge, creating charged sites throughout the entire crystal structure.

The balancing process that works to maintain electro neutrality in the clinoptilolite attracts positive minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron. These common positive cations can easily be displaced by heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, nickel, and arsenic and be removed from the body.
