(NaturalNews) Ph is the new buzz word these days regarding health. We have begun to discover the pitfalls and dangers when our bodies are over acidified from many sources. Nancy Appleton, Ph. D, a nutritional consultant, stated, "The state of balance (homeostasis) is the key to health."¹ Robert O. Young tells us in The pH Miracle, that just about all health problems stem from being acidic. This is because parasites, bad bacteria, viruses, and Candida overgrowth - all of which are the root causes of what we give thousands of disease names - thrive in acidic environments.² The solution is really very simple. Just eat or drink a high alkaline hydrated or liquid calcium Bentonite clay on a daily basis especially before you eat or drink something acidic. Look for a Calcium Bentonite clay in the 9.0 or higher pH range.

Clays, for the most part, have a naturally high alkaline pH. Clay is homeostatic. One of its major functions is to act as a catalyst to assist the body in returning to a balanced state.

Bentonite Clay has the power to attract and either absorb or stimulate the evacuation of toxic and non-useful elements.³ Clay is a powerful agent of stimulation, transformation and transmission of energy. We have extraordinary energy resources which normally remain dormant - clay awakens them.⁴ When life force energy flows the body will balance itself.

Calcium Bentonite clays are from the Smectite family of clays and have expandable properties for absorption as well as adsorption of toxins.⁵

Taking clay baths is another popular method of safe detoxing of heavy metals and of chemical toxins that influence our body balance.⁶

To bring yourself into a pH balanced state, start with 2 ounces of pre-mix liquid clay 3 times a day and 2 clay baths a week. For maintenance, use 1 ounce 2 times a day plus 1 ounce before or after indulging in acidic eating, and one clay bath a week is sufficient.

You can monitor your progress with some saliva or urine pH strips.

Clay is God made and all natural. That being said, all clays are different. There are specific things to look for in securing a safe clay.⁷ In conclusion, give clay a try at raising and maintaining a healthy pH. Raymond Dextreit in his book, Earth Cures, explains it this way: "It is not possible to foresee exactly what will happen with clay applications especially at first, (It reacts differently to each individual's body chemistry and needs) but in every case, there is a remarkable improvement, if not a complete healing. As there are no dangers to fear, there is no reason to oppose giving it a try, even for an extended period of time."⁸
