Dear Rogene,

 

We've been hard at work again, in fact it's been a marathon since last Saturday!  But we're home for a few minutes before running out to teach so I thought I'd answer your Email.  For starters, I decided to use clay in 1997 after a serious car accident with the many complications therefrom that "modern medicine" couldn't or wouldn't help.  I can't remember exactly how I came across the clay but I have used it for cleansing, drawing out infections, healing wounds (on people and animals), for facials and to heal breast cysts (previous to the implants...should have stuck with the clay!)  

 

I have used it externally in the form of a compress, poultice or directly on the skin or wound depending on the situation.  For internal cleansing I have mixed clay with water, mixed the clay paste with water or made little clay pellets forming small balls of clay and letting them dry.  Then they can be swallowed just like a supplement.  The book "Our Earth Our Cure" gives great instructions as to how to use it for each situation. 

 

When I researched clay suppliers I looked for clay mined the closest to where I lived (as suggested in the book.)  I have used clay from both Wyoming and Utah and have had excellent results with both.  At one point I ran out of my "regular" clay and used some from back east somewhere and it burned my skin.  I also am very sensitive to french rose and green clays, though I can use a small amount if diluted in the local clay. 

 

I am perfectly comfortable with clay in brown paper bags IF there are no colors or chemicals in the paper that would leach into the clay, and they remain dry and out of the sun.  Both water and sunlight (which is probably why they are using the brown paper bags) activate the clay and it begins doing its' drawing thing.  I would not be as comfortable storing clay in plastic for a long period of time for the same reason (remember the caution against putting plastic in the freezer?), but I do keep small amounts in plastic bags for a short time until I can get it into glass storage containers. 

 

My favorite way to store the clay is in the old fashioned Ball canning jars with the glass lids.  It keeps the clay away from metals and plastic...and makes me happy to see them since my jars came from my mother and reminds me of the days we canned fresh peaches together.  Then I put the jar in the window and let it get as much sun as possible as it "charges" the clay.  

 

Now for the silicone kids.  There has to be an explanation for the health of my 2 children that nursed after I was implanted, my only son and my youngest daughter.  From all indications I most likely had some leakage of silicone with my youngest child, if not both of them.  Both children were jaundiced at birth and both were double footling breach with club feet that were corrected by braces.  But other than that they have been quite healthy.  The only explanation I have is that I treated them with "natural" means, including clay and herbs, all throughout their childhood.  As adults they both have had some challenges...my son with digestion and my daughter with infections.  But they both have turned back to the "natural ways" we used in their childhood and both are doing very well.  

 

I didn't realize what I had done to myself or my children with the decision I made to get implants.  Now that I am aware I thank God that he gave me the strength to stick to the things I learned about using nature to heal because I think we have dodged some major bullets.  Healing is as individual as the person and everyone must work out their own journey to health, but I am grateful for the clay as it has been an answer for me and my family.  I suspect it will deliver the same results to others as it has to us.  May God bless us all in our quest for health...especially the unsuspecting children!    

 

Love and prayers...

Deb
