What are Zeolites?
Zeolites are naturally occurring crystalline minerals that were formed over millions of years by the process of volcanic ash being crystallized after submerging in the sea or in fresh water lakes. These mineral compounds, which are mined in numerous places around the world, have been commonly used in traditional Asian remedies for over a thousand years.
In modern times zeolites are used as food additives, to purify water, and by in various industrial processes including the pharmaceutical sector. Zeolites were used extensively to clean up radiation after the Chernobylnuclear power station disaster.
Zeolites are now the subject of an increasing amount of research into their health benefits because of their remarkable ability to bind to toxins in the body, taking these same toxic particles out of the body through natural excretion. There are many types of zeolite, some of which would be dangerous to ingest. Asbestos is one type of zeolite that is highly dangerous when taken into the lungs because of its sharp edges. Another class of zeolite called Clinoptilolite – the name is derived from the Greek words klino (“oblique”), ptylon (“feather”), and lithos (“stone”) – is recognised as safe to ingest. In fact the FDA [Federal Drug Administration of theUS government] has granted it GRAS status – “Generally Recognized as Safe”.
A US-based company called Waiora has been producing its Natural Cellular Defense (“NCD”) product since around 2004. NCD activated liquid zeolite been endorsed by health guru Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Founding Director of the Tree of Life Center in USA. It is also recommended as part of the daily protocol for visitors to the Tree of Life Centre – as it also is at the world-renowned Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida.
Liquid Zeolite is a food supplement used primarily to remove heavy metals and other toxins efficiently and safely from our bodies, significantly reducing our toxic body-burden.
