Medical Uses for Zeolite

Zeolite is a mineral created when molten lava is cooled by seawater. It is used for the detoxification of human blood. Zeolite is currently marketed in powder and liquid form, but according to several sources, including zeolitefacts.org, liquid Zeolite is ineffective since liquifying the mineral negates its negative charge. It is the negative charge, when consumed, that attracts positively charged molecules—such as heavy metals, harmful chemicals and toxins—in the bloodstream. According to NaturalNews.com, Zeolite is emerging as an important part of the fight against cancer, heart disease and other medical conditions.

  1. Traps Harmful Metals

    • According to Dr. Howard Peiper, Zeolite traps harmful metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium. These metals have been linked to certain cancers and heart disease. By lowering the levels of these metals in the body's blood stream zeolite may also decrease the risk of cancer.

    Promotes Healthy pH Level

    • Zeolite also helps balance the body's pH level. Too-low pH levels can lead to a precondition for cancer, lowered brain activity, depression, anxiety, hallucinations, paranoia, delusions and stupor. Zeolite helps to bring the body toward a less acidic pH level (7.35 - 7.45 is normal) decreasing the possible effects of these conditions.

    Antioxidant

    • Zeolite works as an antioxidant, but in a different way that most. Zeolite traps, deactivates and eliminates free radicals. Most antioxidants just trap the free radicals.

    Other Medicinal Uses

    • Zeolite reduces the side effects of radiation and chemotherapy; raises the body's antioxidant levels; stabilizes the immune system; stops acute and chronic diarrhea.
