WHAT IS ZEOLITE?

It is a microporous inorganic mineral formed from volcanic ash and sea salt over millions of years. There are specialized deposits of zeolite the world over. They vary by their composition of compounds. There are three main kinds, fibrous, leafy or crystalline zeolite. Medical use is from crystalline zeolite that contains high quantities of the mineral clinoptilolite. The structure of clinoptilolite consists of silicon oxides and aluminosilicates, with a silicon to aluminum ratio of 4 to 1 in clinoptilolite. Although it consists primarily of silicon, like sand and some clays, clinoptilolite differs due to its hard structure.

WHAT MAKES IT SO VALUABLE?

It’s extremely hard, microporous, honeycomb type of structure is permeated by ducts and cavities throughout. These caves or channels are openings where either 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 electroneutrality 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.

Zeolite has a history of industrial and veterinary use, including water purification, air filters, in animal feed to reduce the production of ammonia and increase the nutritive effect, and in cat litter and animal stalls to reduce odor. It has even been put in cigarette filters to reduce nicotine and tar. A new use includes combining it with cotton to make a microbial, deodorant material. NASA is researching the development of a zeolite-hyrogen-gas tank for hydrogen-fuel based cars.

MEDICAL USES OF ZEOLITE:

• Stops acute diarrhea from food poisoning
• Binds mycotoxins, forming stable complexes
• Raises antioxidant levels in the body
• Binds with free radicals in the body
• Helps alkalize the pH
• Stops external bleeding
• Binds radioactive compounds
• Reduces muscle pain from lactic acid
• Reduces fungal foot infections
• Reduces hangovers
• In some canine cancers, reduces tumors, restores well-being, prolongs life
• Reduces side effects of chemotherapy/radiation
• Inactivates the effects of Hepatitis viruses
• Stabilizes & regulates immune system
• In some human cancers (those that respond to interferons and interleukins: melanoma, renal cell, lung, astrocytoma), patients may experience prolongation of survival, decreases in tumors, or even complete, long-term remission.

It comes in two basic forms, a liquid zeolite, and a powdered micronized zeolite.

Part of what zeolite does is to work on a couple of the basic issues in cancer. It is a powerful detoxifier, and improves the alkalinity of your body. More importantly though, zeolite is a cancer killer as it can, when pulled into cancer cells, activate the P21 gene which tells a cancer cell to die, or literally destroy the nucleus of cancerous cells.

TREATING CANINE CANCER:

Dr. Ljiljana Bedric, Ph.D., at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb, Croatia, led the research treatment of 51 dogs with various cancers.

All dogs improved with oral zeolite treatment. Some dogs had dramatic reduction or elimination of their cancerous tumors.

One week of treatment for six dogs with prostate cancer resulted in resolution of their symptoms. Eight dogs with lymphoma also responded quickly. Ten dogs with mucous membrane tumors or skin tumors responded positively during oral treatment, but regressed again when the zeolite was withdrawn, and when treatment resumed, the tumors again decreased. Ten female dogs with mammary gland tumors demonstrated a 50% reduction in large tumors within three to four weeks, with their small tumors being completely resolved in that time frame. A 50% reduction in three dogs with lung tumors was observed after one month of treatment; two of the dogs who received continued zeolite lived for one year. Two of three dogs with bone cancer lived for a year and a half with continued treatment.
