Bentonite?

I've been using Bentonite clay for just over 2 weeks now and MAN what results it's been giving, at least until just a few days ago...However, I JUST found out that you need to mix the Bentonite as much as possible in the water you drink it in otherwise your body tries to do that for you, which is not an easy task (can thank the directions for that one...)
Anyway, I was just curious, I realize there's several different kinds of bentonite. Theres a sort of brick clay, a clay powder, and a liquid bentonite, I would imagine the liquid kind would be the best since it's pretty much disolved already. Anyone know for sure? Also there's sodium bentonite, and calcium bentonite, anyone know the difference?
Any brand names in particular (preferably ones that people have actually tried themselves) that sell good quality bentonite? Any specific directions or times of day thats better than others?
One thing I refuse to do is take it with any sort of laxative so please don't try and convince me to do so...Psyllium especially is bad enough for your body...
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The reason we call the psyllium and Bentonite shake a 'shake' is precisely because it is difficult to dilute the clay powder. HOwever a great trick is to put the clay and water into a jar, close it tight and shake it ( i only did this along with psyllium [and cannot see why you would keep away from the best way to drag down candida threads, but to each one his choices] so I do not know how it will work on its own but is should do the trick.
This being said, Bentonite is great to help toxins out, which also is an important part of the cleanse. No wonder you appreciate the results.

This is a reply to # 1,168,713Sonne's brand is the one I used. It comes in liquid from. I found it did me almost no good whatsoever as it all it does it constipate and absorb minerals. In general it is mixed with water and psyllium. Psyllium is NOT a laxative. It is fiber which is designed to bulk up and sweep the intestines clean. Many on this board have found it invaluable when dealing with candida. The mechanical action of benotnite is that is supposedly absorbs toxins, but it also absorbs everything else in its path. Psyllium on the other hand sweeps the intestine clean and improves the transit time of matter which personally helped me more than anything else. I cannot imagine why you would object to psyllium or think that it is unhealthy. To get rid of candida the name of the game is really all about improving the health of your digestive tract and nothing works that better than fiber. Since I found that fiber shakes can be constipating though I choose now at this point in my treatment to instead eat giant salads everyday which in effect do the same thing.

So does this mean you would recommend the clay powder then jhan? I have some brand name powder right now, can't for the life of me remember the name (orange bottle), but they make vitamins as well. I just bought some liquid Bentonite however yesterday. The local health food store sells yerba prima great plains Bentonite liquid clay. I'm not sure which I should take, I suppose the clay powder if I can manage to mix it properly?
Also is Bentonite recommended for long term use? Recommended during an entire anti-candida cleanse? I've been hearing that bentonite can contain aluminum, but I wouldn't think this could be in any way harmful since everything is absorbs into the clay, not released once inside your body..Am I correct?
Thanks for the info- Re: Bentonite? Jhan

This is a reply to # 1,169,356I have heard fo people having concerns taking Bentonite, due to aluminum or mercury that might be present. I have NEVER heard of anyone having reserves to psyllium. As Remi pointed out, it does not work as a laxative with candida for the simple reason that it adheres to candida thread and the latter being anchored into the intestinal walls the fiber will get stuck and might cause constipation until the candida thread gives up and lets go to get evavuated.
Bentonite acts as a glue, it scrapes the intestinal wall and if aluminum or mercury is present it is possible that it would get absorbed. But I would not worry with the Yerba Prima brand.
I have used the Yerba Prima Bentonite brand and I would recommend it. You could use both. The powder you can also use in your bathtub to help liberate the toxins from the skin.
Mineral supplements, vitamin B and antifungals are the ONLY things you should keep doing all through the treatment... along with the diet. Otherwise it is wise to alternate, intestinal cleanses with parasite cleanses, kidney cleanses and liver cleanses. It is also smart to start with the intestines. There is no point in doing any the other cleanses before the bowel cleanse. Or else the other cleanses are going to send extra scrap to your bowels which will not be able to deal with any extra toxicity.
So you are on the right track. Doing a good start. Remember to listen to your body. Now the Bentonite feels right, so go for it. It shows you are doing the right thing.

Psyllium is not a laxative, it's only fibre. If adding more fibre to our diet makes us go to the washroom, that's a good thing, because the standard American diet is lacking fibre.
Bentonite strips out bad bacteria, but it also strips out the good bacteria as well. My nutritionalist says to take it for 30 days maximum, colonics tech says 10 days, master herbalist says "not at all".
Many health and longevity practioners (like Bragg for example) recommend taking psyllium 1 hour after your meals, but never bentonite. He did that for 70 years.
Myself, I find that Bentonite messes with my digestion, presumably because it strips the good bacteria out, so I don't really like taking it more than I have to. I do it 2 days before and 3 days after each set of colonics, but that's it for me after.
Just an fyi. I think bentontite has it's place (for example, your first detox / cleanse) but there have been way too many warning signs (for me) to make it an everyday practice.
