Our Detoxificant is a natural and powerful detoxicant derived from bentonite,
a mineral-rich volcanic clay. For centuries, native tribes around the world
have recognized and benefited from the healing properties of bentonite clay
in internal and external applications. In the early 20th century, bentonite
clay was used by the British Army in India to treat acute bacterial food poisoning
and in China to help treat cholera. We use a special process to refine the raw
bentonite clay to remove mica, dirt and other impurities, in order to concentrate
the active detoxifying ingredient, montmorillonite ("mont-mor-ill-o-nite").
This procedure places montmorillonite into a colloidal suspension and retains
its innate negative charge. These properties allow the powerful adsorption (physical
binding) of positively charged substances. (Most metabolic, environmental, and
chemical wastes are positively charged.) Montmorillonite possesses the ability
to adsorb about 40 times its own weight in positively charged substances present
in the alimentary canal. Because montomorillonite has such strong adsorptive
properties and is not digested, it tightly binds toxic material to be excreted.
History of Use
Bentonite is not a new product. Primitive tribes of various continents have
been using volcanic ash for centuries for various conditions of ill health.
Primitives used to carry with them a ball of bentonite clay, which they would
mix with water. They would dip their food into it before eating to prevent "sick
stomach". Liquid bentonite was used for centuries in China for summer diarrhea
and cholera. In 1712, Father Deutrecolle, a Jesuit Missionary, described the
clay works in China and mentioned that the clay (bentonite) was used for diarrhea.
The use of bentonite as an adjunct to medications during the Balkan war of 1910
helped to reduce the mortality from cholera among the soldiers from 60% to 3%,
and also proved valuable in the 1919 cholera epidemic in China. In India, bentonite
was found useful for acute bacterial food poisoning encountered by the British
Army. For over 50 years, we have made this ancient secret available for modern
man. Imagine, a natural clay that can draw pesticides, clean and disinfect wounds,
support immune function, and make food and water safe for consumption - without
side effects!
What is Bentonite?
Bentonite is a natural clay mineral formed in the extreme heat and pressure
of a volcano. In ages past, it was blown into the sky by volcanic action, and
sifted down to earth to help impregnate the soil with its 25 - 35 trace minerals.
Sometimes it accumulates in layers or veins from which it is presently mined.
Although bentonite contains a rich amount of minerals, there is no evidence
that we can absorb any of its mineral content. Anyone who tries to sell the
product on the basis of the minerals in it is only guessing.
Many products on the market use bentonite in a raw and unprocessed form. However,
our bentonite is different. In making our Detoxificant we start with the highest
quality bentonite (U.S.P. Grade), and mix it with purified demineralized water.
During our exclusive and secret process, the mica and impurities are removed,
and the purified montmorillonite is put into a liquid colloidal-gel state. The
product is sterilized and subjected to independent laboratory analysis for heavy
metals and microbiology, ensuring a substance suitable for internal use and
detoxification. It works better simply because it is better.
Bentonite should never be packaged in plastic. Because of its extreme drawing
properties, bentonite can leach petrochemicals from plastic bottles. That is
why Sonne´s only packages #7 Detoxificant in inert glass bottles.
