Bentonite Clay & Hepatitis C Cure

Hepatitis C is a disease that has become prevalent in the West due in part to tainted vaccines that were used on American troops during World War II (tbyil.com). Since then, it has spread via blood transfusions, tattoos with infected needles, manicure injuries with unclean implements, etc. This virus attacks the liver, making victims tired and nutritionally deficient. Some people don't realize they have the virus until they seek treatment for one of the diseases it can cause, such as diabetes, depression or fibromyalgia.

  1. Why Use Bentonite Clay

    • Hepatitis C is considered to be incurable, but the symptoms and deterioration of health can be postponed, maybe indefinitely, by observing several protocols designed to lighten the load on your liver. One of these protocols is a routine of ingesting bentonite clay. Clays have been used since ancient times, internally and externally, to treat many different maladies. Bentonite is mined mainly in and around Benton, Wyoming. It is gray clay, usually taken in water for purification purposes. Heavy metals, radiation and other toxins are absorbed into the clay as it passes through the digestive tract. Bentonite has been shown through in vitro studies to kill bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus (eytonearth.com). This is a great benefit for people who have a weakened immune system due to hepatitis C. If you take this regularly according to package directions, it can assist your body in cleansing itself to give your liver support and keep it from becoming toxic. Cirrhosis of the liver is one of the main fears with hepatitis C, so liver support and cleansing is very important. If left untreated, the liver will eventually shut down and your body will no longer be able to metabolize protein. This results in death.

    What Else You Can Do

    • Once you are diagnosed with hepatitis C, begin a detoxifying program as soon as possible to cleanse your system of anything that would put a strain on your liver. A change in diet is probably necessary if you eat a lot of processed foods or drink alcohol. Once your liver is compromised, alcohol should be avoided altogether, and an increase in vegetables and fruits is advisable for anyone. Your physician may prescribe medicines and other treatments as well.

    Warnings

    • The intestines cannot absorb bentonite clay, so it is rarely associated with adverse side effects. Because bentonite is so absorbent, however, it may interfere with any medications or supplements you are taking. If you use it daily, be sure to leave plenty of time between the clay and your other supplements to minimize this interaction. As always, consult your health practitioner before beginning any new regimen.
