I received an email today from the company I ordered the clay from, and I was told that it is called 'Green Illite' clay, which comes from quarries in the south of France. Although the clay has detoxifying properties, I'm still unsure whether it attracts parasites and toxins in the same way Bentonite clay does. However, I would still like to buy some Bentonite clay (and preferably in bulk) in the UK, so if anyone can help, I would be grateful for some advice.
